“Susan is a fantastic course leader, knowledgeable, approachable, friendly, encouraging and great fun! I have completed my outdoor and paediatric first aid course with her, and am currently completing forest school training with Susan as one of the leaders. I would 100% recommend her courses.”

“Just received my certificate for completing the Outdoor First Aid Training course with Susan, and I would absolutely recommend the course to anyone interested in learning first aid, not just for outdoors, but generally as well. I was really nervous about the course (very squeamish about first aid!) beforehand, but Susan was really friendly and by the end of the course, I was more relaxed and definitely felt more prepared!”

“Fantastic day learning new map reading skills and rediscovering skills long forgotten. Wonderful relaxing way to spend a day, would recommend to anyone who wants to get out there and learn something a bit different that allows you to go on adventures that might feel out of reach. Thank you”
