Testimonials
“Matthew was an excellent trainer. Very engaging and understanding of everyone who had questions and wanted more information. He made the course understandable and relatable with an understanding of our organisation and everyone the lives and works here.”
“Matt was very knowledgeable and encouraging and explained things clearly, answering all questions asked in simple terms.”
“An engaging presentation, which made first aid seem accessible, and gave a sense of how one can go ahead and treat a casualty.”

“Matt has taught me the past 3 times over 9 years, he is absolutely amazing at how he interacts with everyone.”
“I just wanted to pass on my thanks to you for arranging the training (Face-fit testing and Defibrillator training). It was really valued and one of our volunteers has fed back that Danny (trainer) was good at explaining the first aid relating to AEDs, as well as their use and was good at answering the volunteers questions. He also showed the volunteers in detail our new AED and was able to explain any differences with that. Great trainer and really valuable training. Thank you.”
“17 year of doing Infection Control training and today I learnt new stuff that hadn’t been covered before. The training was very well planned. Everything I needed was covered. 10/10”

“I went on the First Aid training course run by Acorn Training on Wednesday 21st May and wanted to feedback how excellent the trainer and course were. I’ve been on lots of first aid courses over the years, for both adult and child service users, and learnt so much more on this one. The course content was varied and flexible for the group attending (everything from school cycle trainers, a foster worker and homeless support worker to OT apprentices and reablement!), slides were informative and easy to read, and he was excellent at adapting the focus, skills, and knowledge, giving time for open discussion and sharing experiences throughout. He made it a safe space to ask questions. His obvious experience and passion, rather than just teaching from a book, made the course content very real, gave me the confidence that previous courses haven’t, and I came away genuinely feeling that I wouldn’t be standing back if help was needed. I haven’t stopped sharing the practical hints and tips with friends and work colleagues since!
All the training from Acorn has been better than any previous I’ve had but this trainer was an absolute legend. Oh, and your Managing Safer Moving and Handling training was pretty good too! 😊”
“On behalf of my team, I just wanted to extend our sincere gratitude for the fantastic Emergency First Aid at Work training session you conducted for us on 25th March 2025. The expertise, engaging teaching style, and clear explanations made the course both informative and enjoyable. The Team truly appreciated the way your trainer made complex topics easy to understand and gave them the confidence to apply their newfound skills in real-world situations. The entire team had a great time, and all walked away feeling more prepared and empowered. Please thank the trainer (Sarah) for their patience, enthusiasm, and dedication to ensuring the guys got the most out of the training. We 100% look forward to future sessions and would happily recommend your training to others.”
