WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY...
"I write today simply to say that yesterday we had Joe at our Coventry offices to run an Emergency First Aid course. It was voted a great success by the 7 candidates, plus myself, who attended. Joe is obviously a master of his subject, and there is no substitute for years of experience, as you and I know.
Previously we have sent employees, one at a time as required, to 'St John's Ambulance type' courses. I will propose to our MD that in future the SMTS course should be the way forward for us. Medium term, I would like to put all our field service engineers through this course, subject to available budget.
Thanks again to you and Joe"
