The course was excellent. John McCormac the presenter was also super. He had a lovely style and I really learnt a lot from him. In fact it is quite shocking how little I really knew about first aid before hand. It should be a mandatory course for all parents!
- Anna Scally - Harcourt St - firstaid course
Thanks to Lisa for making Sam's recent 5th birthday such a success. The kids were kept thoroughly entertained for the whole hour which left me free to get on with other birthday matters. The kids had a ball and the whole atmosphere was one of FUN, rather than SSTTRREESSSS!!!!!! Nobody was roaming around, everyone was included despite a range of...
- Sarah Hare - Sam's 5th Birthday Party - Home Party - playparty course
I really enjoyed the course and found it very very worthwhile. The instructor in particular was very informative and personable and made the day very interesting. The practice hands on sessions were particularly useful. I have since recommended the course to others. In fact I think this course should be compulsory to all new parents.Great course
- Aoife O'Shea - Harcourt St - firstaid course
Hi Liza, The course was excellent, I couldn't find one thing negative to say about it and I have to say the guy giving the course was very very good. It was that good I spent the evening telling my husband about all the things I learned. I found out about the course through reading about your website on the Independent supplement. I would...
- Fiona Henry - Harcourt St - firstaid course
"Yes I really found the course worthwhile and have been recommending it to all my friends with kids! The instructor was excellent and I would certainly feel more confident in an emergency. Is there a section on the website to give feedback?"
- Jennifer Kelly - Harcourt St - firstaid course
I found the course extremely benefical --- whilest I would probably still panic in an emergency, I would feel more confident to deal with a first aid crisis than before & would I think feel more confident knowing what to do. The course content was very relevant --- I would recommend to others.

Lara adores her play lab, she starts shrieking with excitement as soon as we drive in to the carpark! She thoroughly enjoys the songs and bubble time and the activities are fantastic as I can see her adapting her newly learnt skills at home. It is her second term and she is still as keen as her first day!!
- Kate Dowling - Terenure - Toddlers - playlab course
The course was absolutely fantastic. The content was everything literally that I could have hoped, very comprehensive. Caron was excellent as she incorporated questions and experiences throughout the day. I was amazed how well she managed everything as often at the end of a 1 day course there'll be a bit that gets skipped over and you might be so...
- Kathryn - Harcourt St - firstaid course
Yes I did enjoy the course and thought it was really worthwhile to attend. The instructor was very good, made the course very practical and interesting. And yes I would recommend the course to friends.
