“The part of the Level 3 Paediatric Fist Aid training I found most helpful was the CPR section and, understanding it in more depth, it’s really clicked this time! It’s given me confidence and solidified my previous knowledge. I love the focus on simplicity, a great presentation in language I understand.”

Foundation Level Manual Handling and First Aid at Work:

“We received the above training over two weeks which was much appreciated. Although we have filled in individual feedback forms on the day, I thought I would give some positive feedback with regards to the course itself and both Acorn trainers.
The first aid course was extremely enjoyable. Whilst going through the mandatory information for the course, the Acorn trainer was able to adapt some areas of the course to suit our service needs which was great.
His delivery was excellent and we were laughing whilst learning.
The Manual Handling course was informative, hands-on and very thorough.
The Acorn trainer came across very knowledgeable & confident about this area and delivered the course at exactly the right pace.
Overall feedback from all that attended was positive.
I have recommended Acorn to our Training Manager for further courses throughout GCH”

Fire Marshal with Live Fire: “Trainer was great, really knowledgeable, and the practical exercise was really helpful. 10/10”

“I found all of the 12 hour Paediatric First Aid course helpful! It was good to hear all the information and it made me feel more confident. I found Linda extremely clear in her explanations and teachings. The facilities were good and it was organised very well.”

“I have had first aid training and now the IOSH course through Acorn. both courses were great very professional with both trainers being excellent getting the point across in a very relaxed way. Thanks Roger for an enjoyable course. I thought the pace, content and the way in which it was presented was first class. As an added bonus I thought lunch was great”

“The trainer kept my interest all day. I learnt so much more because it was interesting”

“I just wanted to thank you for arranging the Administration of Medicines to Adults in Care training for us: it was excellent quality and the trainer, Sarah, engaged all team members really well. The staff were actively participating and all seemed to really benefit from the day.”

“I just wanted to let you know that 10 of our volunteers attended first aid training on Friday 19th May 2017 and we really enjoyed it! The Acorn trainer was a very entertaining trainer who has the ability to make it fun yet still deliver the important content! We all came away feeling confident with our new skills! A huge thank you for accommodating our needs as an organisation, we really appreciate it, and will  definitely be looking into other courses. Acorn deliver.”

“The First Aid at Work Re-qualification course was helpful in reviewing changes in practice over the last 3 years. The defibrillator training will potentially help more people sooner. The Acorn trainer made everyone feel at ease & the group integrated and engaged quickly”

“The most effective manual handling training session I have undertaken.”

“We are very happy with the service that Acorn provide. They are knowledgeable and very helpful especially when it comes to writing new policies or assisting in queries.”
