This is the first time that we have used Vitalize Health & First Aid Training for paediatric first aid training and would highly recommend. A very professional experience from start to finish. A really comprehensive course tailored to the needs of children and staff in our nursery setting.
Kerrie made it fun and informative for our staff. Certificates were issued promptly on completion of the course.
