Reviews And Testamonials
We have used Total First Aid Solutions for the previous 3 years to complete the electrical department's annual Low Voltage Rescue and CPR training. I highly recommend Total First Aid Solutions to any prospective clients.
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.
We have done several first aid courses and found I took more away from this one than all the rest put together. Katie listened and answered all our questions, even the really left-field ones.
