Excellent Training Glen & Lilly Where Great I understood everything clearly and it was fun as well. But seriously the training was excellent and I now feel confident I can use this training outside of work and in work too I'd defiantly recommend them to everyone.
The most fun and interactive First Aid Training I've participated in. I can say, don't go anywhere Else.
I recently completed a first aid course run by Lazarus Training and I have to say that as far as first aid courses go this was absolutely brilliant. The way it was run was absolutely superb. The trainers were so informative, friendly and helpful making the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable. The use of a young actor was second to none as it gave real life scenarios that we had to react to which made the whole experience amazing. We even had fake blood which made it so life like. I would certainly recommend Lazarus Training. Well done one and all. It was amazing!!
Really superb day - lots of real life examples to think about and opportunities to practice first aid techniques. Trainer was knowledgeable and engaging. I would definately recommend.
Brilliant training tailored for our setting.Never attended first aid training where there was a 'real life' senario with a patient to attend to!Fantastic.
The best First- Aid class I have ever been to. Nice to not just sit and watch a Powerpoint for 3 days. Interactive and fun. The teachers were fantastic too. Thanks Katy
Such a fabulous learning experience. Learnt so much, with practical and lectures, done in a light hearted manner, so in no way boring! Cannot recommend enough!
My first first aid course in many years but the course content was so interesting and so well explained and demonstrated by the trainer Laura . With such realistic casualties it was so useful to help to see what you may face in different scenarios .Would definitely recommend this company for individual courses or work based courses
Would 100% recommend Lazarus Training - the best Emergency First Aid at Work Course. We have used Lazarus before and will continue to do so in the future. Our instructors were Laura and Karen - they were both professional, approachable, knowledgeable but also made it a fun learning experience. Our team loved the real-life scenarios they created and we all agreed we were more confident in our ability to deal with an emergency situation in the future. Thank you.
Incredible training by Laura and James. Enjoyed every second and left confident and informed. Laura is very experienced and definitely knows what she's talking about. My most interesting first aid training up to date. Thank you.
Our trainer, Phil, was great. He had lots of real life examples that brought the training to life, and really focused on keeping the first aider role, and our training, as simple as possible so that we felt empowered to act.Phil also responded really well to feedback making me feel very welcome and heard.My only request would be for some resources to take away and return to in future as - luckily! - major first aid incidents are few and far between on our workplace so it would be great to be able to review my new knowledge independently between now and my next Lazarus training.
Truly incredible!! I'm disabled, and Laura was wonderful at adapting things so I could both participate during the day; and helped me adapt techniques for in real emergency situations, too. It was a really great, informative day.
I have had my first aid training here over the past couple of days. Laura and Lucy were absolutely incredible, i have learnt so much. Laura was so caring towards me and understanding about my difficulties with textures and nerves. She made me feel so at ease and had me laughing alot! I loved how informal but also how full of information it was and how kind everyone else was there.Laura was also very kind and stayed with me till i was picked up from the centre which maybe might not be alot to some people but it did matter and i really appreciated it!
I did a First Aid at work course with Lazarus in Oct. 2024. It was absolutely brilliant. Very interactive and engaging. The trainers were fabulous. Glen and Lucy were amazing. I do apologise but I cant remember the name of the other woman. She was very thorough. Very well organised course. Not. Moment was wasted. Plenty of time to ask questions.
Well delivered course. Speaker was Knowledgeable and motivated to deliver the training and was easy to follow.
Fantastic course. Chris and Karen, who led the course, were brilliant. Great balance to all days. Very effective in delivering the information but also helping to retain it. Highly recommend.
We have used Lazarus multiple times now and each time they have been amazing. Really work with you to tailor the training to your questions and very informative. Will definitely be using them again in the future.
Such a great course. The instructors Glen & Chris were great, they kept us all engaged over two days, putting our theoretical and real life scenario first aid knowledge to test. Walked away more confident in my knowledge and ability in first aid.
Excellent trainers that made it fun and understandable and so knowledgeable
By far the best first aid training I've done. Glen and Chris were engaging, friendly and knowledgeable. Answered any and all questions with great explanations. Fun scenarios too! I've got a funny feeling I'd go back to them for future first aid training .
I did the 1 day first aid course & can highly recommend it.The course was so interesting and informative. The trainers were brilliant. They even had someone playing the parts of people who have been in an accident. Great day with hands on role play. Thank you
Lazarus came to our setting to carry out paediatric first aid training to our entire staffing team. I have used them for a number of years now and wouldn't consider going anywhere else. The way the deliver the course is superb and extremely memorable. We highly recommend Lazarus!
Really comprehensive training and an incredibly knowledgeable trainer who also made it a really fun day. Thank you.
Completed the 1 day Emergency First Aid in the Office and Studio course which I really enjoyed. A lot was covered in the day and everything was well thought out, combining interactive sessions with some video content and many chances to ask questions. The trainers were friendly and had a wealth of experience which they were happy to share with us to help our learning. Highly recommended course and wish I'd done it sooner!
I had First Aid at Work Requalification course with Lazarus Training.I always learn something new with them, the course is very well presented and with someone playing the role of a Casualty. The person presenting the course knowledge and practical experience is second to none. You cannot go far wrong learning with Lazarus, they care about the subject and helping people. I would recommend them to anyone.
A fantastic 2 day course that was delivered brilliantly. Very informative and have come away feeling confident I can deliver the relevant first aid, should it be required. Thank you so much to Laura and Glen who made it fun too!
The instructors and the knowledge provided are absolutely excellent, and I feel very confident with the things I learned in this course.
These are fantastic courses led by engaging professionals with real world experience and real world advice. I have done their First Aid in Remote Locations course twice now and could not recommend it highly enough.
I attended the 2 day Paediatric First Aid course last week with my work colleagues.It was a very informative but also fun course. Laura didn’t mind questions at any time and was happy to answer them. I prefer the slightly informal tone of the course as I feel that I learn better that way.Lots of chances to do practical work on dummies and also with our ‘real life’ patient Lucy, who got herself into difficulties.It was a great learning environment with plenty of tea and coffee and the biscuits went down well too!Thank you.
Our team of volunteers and staff received First Aid at Work training from Lazarus Training. Both trainers were excellent and we learned so much over the course of the day. The training was engaging and made us feel more prepared and confident if anything had to happen. Thank you so much for your training!
i recently completed a 2 day peads first aid course in leigh along with a couple of my colleagues. We learnt so much and Laura was fun and kept a whole group of 19 of us in total engaged throughout. Amazing company, thankyou grace beswick
They were really nice and extremely knowledgeable. Kept it interesting and encouraged questions, gave great advice and available to contact after course had finished for any future advise.
I recently attended a one-day first aid course run by Lazarus Training, and I must say it was an incredibly enjoyable and informative experience. The course focused on first responder first aid and covered the subject matter in great detail, ensuring that all participants left with a comprehensive understanding of essential first aid techniques. What stood out the most was the professionalism of the instructors. They were not only highly knowledgeable but also very approachable, creating an environment where I felt completely comfortable asking any questions I had. This openness significantly enhanced the learning experience, allowing for deeper engagement with the material. The day was filled with hands-on practice and real-world scenarios, which solidified my understanding and boosted my confidence in applying first aid principles. I am extremely grateful for the wealth of knowledge I gained and the practical skills I developed. Overall, I highly recommend Lazarus Training for anyone looking to gain valuable first aid skills in a supportive and professional setting.
Exemplary training provided in a fun way, making it easy to digest and I learned SO much thanks to the visual demonstration approach they use. The fact I retained so much of the information from the last course 4 years ago is testament to their training methods being effective.
I done the paediatric 2 day course, with trainer Laura, and her assistant Sam, they were both very knowledgeable, experienced trainers no questions were too much bother for them both, as I have only ever done a basis first aid course yrs ago, I learnt new things that I never knew and how first aid training has changed over the past 20 yrs, I was very nervous but Laura put me and another girl who was nervous at ease and comfortable.I would recommend lararus training for anyone, I loved hearing her stories from when they have to travel abroad and do training, I found it fascinating and also interesting as well.
Had an amazing 2 days paediatric first aid training. Learnt so much and remembered more than I thought I would due to the great trainers , Laura and Reece , who made it fun and interactive whilst passing on their considerable knowledge . I feel confident that in the event of coming across an accident I will be able to make a positive difference to the situation. Thank you both
Attended a Paediatric Course this week with Laura and Reece absolutely amazing so informative and active lots of life scenarios. Have completed other courses but have to say this is the best course I have ever completed Laura & Reece are amazing!!
I definitely recommend this course. It is so informative and really interactive. I have learnt so much over the last 2 days.Laura and Reece the trainers are fantastic.
Laura and Reece were fabulous trainers! Informative and very hands-on training which prepares you for dealing with first aid situations. Highly recommended!
Incredible training, I learnt so much. Very engaging and interactive, brilliant teachers and something I think everyone should do if they can!
This is the second Lazarus Training course I have attended and they have both been excellent. So engaging, with trainers who have genuine real-world experience and who are incredibly supportive. Hands on learning at its best, as it really does build skills for life.
Laura and Karen were terrific, made the course both informative and enjoyable and all my team thoroughly enjoyed attending.
Really interactive experience which made the first aid training easy to engage with. The trainers Lauren and Karen were very knowledgeable and clear communicators. Would definitely recommend.
I recently attended a Company First Aid course conducted by Lazarus, and I couldn't be more impressed. The instructor's expertise and professionalism were evident throughout the course. The realistic scenarios they arranged provided invaluable hands-on experience, making the learning process engaging and effective. I highly recommend Lazarus for anyone seeking top-notch first aid training.
Went on this course today thoroughly enjoyed it, both trainers were lovely and very knowledgeable,
I recently attended a First Aid at Work course. It was excellent! couldn't fault any part of it. The trainer was brilliant! I have a shocking memory for most things but he delivered the course with huge amounts of energy and clarity. It was explained really well throughout the day and we covered so much more than I thought we would.The first thing I did was buy a well stocked first aid kit for home and in my car. Best part is, I now know how to use it properly.Would highly recommend.
Successfully completed the First Aid Office & Studio Training with Chris. It was a 1 x day course. Chris is brilliant! Very professional, experienced and is a fantastic teacher. It was very thought provoking and I think we should all have a bit of basic knowledge of first aid training. Highly recommend. 👍
I've done several first aid at work training sessions with Lazarus over the years through different employers. Always top notch, with instructors with unparalleled practical experience in the field, who know the latest advice (as these are always evolving) and can answer just about any question you throw at them. Most importantly with first aid - it's practical, with opportunities for hands on practice, not just the theory.I've already put my my first aid training to use in a real life office situation, and I know that these skills may one day save a life. Thanks Chris!
What a fantastic way to teach First Aid in different situations & such an important skill we all need in life! Live-action training in basic first aid & not just practising CPR. It was so much more interesting than information being thrown at someone. Highly recommend Lazarus Training!
The best first aid training I’ve been on! We had Gary and Glen as our trainers and they were absolutely fantastic, so knowledgeable, helpful and just genuinely lovely people. The course itself is very interactive and you get far more information, tips and tricks than other first aid courses. Will definitely be do all my further training with them 😊
Fantastic course. Covered all the basic first aid and a lot more. The instructors were incredibly helpful and made the content very memorable. would highly recommend.
I recently had the privilege of attending the First Aid in Office and Studio (FAOS) course conducted by Laura from Lazarus Training Ltd, and I must say it was an incredibly educational experience. The one-day program covered a wide array of crucial first aid topics, leaving me feeling well-prepared and confident in handling emergency situations.The course began with a comprehensive exploration of the 5-step assessment process, providing a systematic approach to evaluating emergency situations. Laura expertly guided us through this process, ensuring that we not only understood the steps but also knew how to apply them in real-life scenarios. The morning session passed by swiftly, thanks to the engaging and informative nature of the content.The afternoon delved into more specific areas, such as CPR techniques and handling various medical conditions. Laura's teaching style was not only informative but also comforting. Her ability to make the class feel at ease created an optimal learning environment, fostering active participation and engagement among the attendees.One highlight of the course was the hands-on experience, particularly the application of a tourniquet. This practical aspect added a valuable dimension to the learning process, allowing us to translate theoretical knowledge into practical skills. While the hands-on time with CPR techniques was beneficial, I would have appreciated even more time dedicated to this critical skill, as it is fundamental in many emergency situations.Post-course, the resources provided were noteworthy. The well-structured notes and the accompanying app proved to be valuable references, eliminating the need for extensive note-taking during the session. This thoughtful approach allowed participants to focus more on absorbing the lesson content and actively participating in discussions.In conclusion, I highly recommend the First Aid in Office and Studio course with Laura from Lazarus Training Ltd. Her expertise, coupled with the well-organized curriculum and hands-on experiences, ensures that participants not only grasp essential first aid concepts but also feel equipped to apply them effectively in real-world scenarios. The course strikes an excellent balance between theory and practice, making it a valuable investment for anyone seeking to enhance their first aid skills.
Lazarus put on a really great course - excellent “life-like” trauma scenarios to test our newly acquired skills, combined with really knowledgeable and engaged trainers (Paul, Laura and Liam). Thank you!
Phil and Reece trained us and it was the most fun I've had learning first aid!
Fantastic course, well worth taking! Thanks to the gents who ran our 2 day course, I was able to apply those skills a few months later and help somebody in need of first aid after a car accident I witnessed. Without them, I wouldn’t have known what to do in that situation and that gentleman may have come out of the accident much worse than he did. Very kind and patient teachers who really taught me some of the most valuable skills I’ll ever learn. Can’t thank them enough.
Recently attended job specific first aid with Mac and Barry. Mac took the majority of the two days and he was really knowledgeable and engaging, using real life examples to explain certain things. Mac was extremely patient with some difficult individuals too and is a credit to you. I would certainly recommend them to others.
We used Lazarus training for our team who were heading out to film in a remote location in Africa this year. Mark, Tim & Karen were absolutely amazing! Very professional in the way they laid out the session and allowed space for serious and light conversion. Definitely recommend Lazarus, their experience in the field is exceptional and they seem genuinely passionate on the topics covered. Thankyou Mark, Tim & Karen from Big Cats!
Recently completed my 2nd first aid training course with Lazarus. I’m a personal trainer and after completing this training course I feel confident that I could deliver emergency first aid with confidence. The trainers are friendly, approachable and very experienced. Over the years I’ve done loads of classroom based training and found it extremely boring … not this training , it’s fun and practical.
