I did a paediatric first aid course with Kate and she was so lovely and welcoming! This was my first, first aid course due to covid delaying it and I was made to feel so at ease! The course was easy to follow and there was always time to ask questions. I really enjoyed participating in the course and have learnt a lot that I can now use in emergency situations.
