We have been using MRS for over 20 years and have been most impressed their professionalism and flexibility that they have shown for First Aid training. Evaluation received from participants and managers has been very positive and we would always be more than happy to recommend them for First Aid training courses.
3 days of learning that was both pleasurable and memorable. The instructor presented the information in a manner that was relevant, simple to learn and at the same time ensuring that the skills were done to a high standard.
You will never know how big a part you played in the saving the life of a good mate of ours and I will never be able to thank you fully for giving us the skills and confidence to carry out the horrible task of pounding a friends chest.
