"I recently attended a first aid course led by Mick .and he was absolutely amazing. I have a stutter, which can sometimes make these types of interactive courses feel a bit daunting, but Mick. was incredibly patient and kind from the start. He made the environment feel safe and inclusive, allowing me to focus on learning life-saving skills without any pressure. Highly recommend!"Posted on Google![]()
