However, just think of how many people on the course you will be rolling over into the recovery position. LOL

You say that as if it's a bad thing. If you save someone's life, it will be a life they do get back.

Can't think of a better reason to do it.

Personally I think everyone should do First Aid Training.

Three days!

That’s not a first aid course, it’s halfway qualified as a junior doctor.

It was a course that I taught for many years.

Courses can be made bearable / enjoyable if you have a charismatic person teaching.

Students found it was more interesting when the defibrillator was added to the syllabus.

My annual asbestos awareness refresher and manual handling are courses that a much higher degree of awfulness about them!

Normally, no matter how many times you've done a course, you learn at least one new piece of information.

I train it haha!

Saving a life is so important! I really do believe it should be part of the school curriculum to train basic first aid.
