Reviews And Testamonials
Katie has a very calm and compassionate way of teaching, delivering high quality and a fun training room atmosphere. NTC plan to carry on using Total First Aid Solutions as our preferred provider for our First Aid needs.
I really enjoyed the course and the trainer was extremely knowledgeable and was able to give real-life examples of things she has experienced which I found extremely fascinating.
OMSB has engaged the services of Katie Chapman of Total First Aid Solutions (TFAS) on several occasions since 2022. She also offers customised training and we are looking forward to a workshop with her later this month.
