"I've done a couple of Livius' First Aid courses over the years and I would highly recommend it.

"Our course leader was excellent. The course was very informative and gave us enough information to understand what we needed to do without baffling us with too much information. I have left feeling confident I would know what to do in such an emergency. The facilities were very good. We had breaks that were set out perfectly with just enough time to do what you needed to do. The cafe was small but had good options for lunch. The site was easy to find. Would definitely recommend the course to others. Thank you!"

"I learnt a lot during the two day refresher. The course updated me on techniques that I had forgotten. The course instructor made the two days interesting and practical which will help to keep the first aid training in my memory. The venue is superb. The training room was light and bright and the staff were polite and helpful. There is an onsite cafe of the highest quality. In summary the training, location, venue and cafe makes Livius the best of the best!"

"This was my first time doing the paediatric first aid course with Mark from Livius. I was very impressed with the course content, course pace, Mark’s enthusiasm, discussion and practical aspects.

"The course was very educational and Mark found a way to ensure we all had fun at the same time. Would highly recommend."

It was easy and straightforward to book the course and I've always found Livius Training to be extremely accommodating to our needs."

"The course was excellent and delivered very well by Mark. We had lots of opportunities to practice what we where taught with role play and plenty of time to ask questions. I would highly recommend this first aid training course. Thank you."

"Working within the Construction Industry means that our workforce must all have a certificate for working at heights and the training course provided by Livius covered all aspects. The venue is in an ideal location for our team who are located in various parts of Yorkshire and parking is available on site. The trainer explained everything clearly and did not rush the content so it was easier for staff to understand and take notes. I would recommend this course to anyone and will be booking future training courses with Livius."

"This is my third time doing the training with Mark from Livius. Mark delivers the course at an ideal pace for all, mixing up theory with practical to keep all students focused. The course was run in a 'covid safe' manner while still allowing for practical elements. Mark has a wealth of knowledge on the subject and is approachable for any questions. Highly recommend Livius for your training needs!"

"The course was well organised, both on the day and in advance and well run by the trainer. It was action packed with a good amount of practical learning as well as listening to the trainer. The venue was also good."

"Excellent course and well delivered. Location is easy to find, handy off the A1 with ample parking. Refreshments available all day. Highly recommended."

"As part of my responsibilities at work I needed to undertake a first aid course, and having done several before I thought I knew what to expect. I was so pleasantly surprised by this course - really engaging, hands on, and challenging enough to get you thinking about real life situations rather than just mannequins on the floor! I really enjoyed the entire three days, and felt confident afterwards that I could put what I'd learnt into practice. I'd recommend this course to anyone, experienced and beginner."

"working with in the construction industry its is critical that our employee meet health and safety standers to ensure a good working environment not only for them self but others. the course was very helpful in ensuring that we meet this stander-ed, i would recommend livius training to anyone and have also set other various courses there"

"Always excellent service and the virtual training has worked well for us."

"Attended this course last week and it was brilliant. The tutor Mark made learning fun and threw some challenges in along the way to make you really think about what you were doing. It made things sink in rather than just walking from the course unsure about certain parts. It was my first time at a first aid course and I was made to feel welcome and helped constantly throughout the 2 days. I would recommend to all, thanks Mark!"

"Great course delivered by Mark who brought a wealth of relevant experience that helped bring a sense of reality to the two sessions. Lots of opportunities to practice in a safe environment. I would also highly recommend this course."

"The 3 day IOSH course proved to be a really useful guide to managing health & safety pitched just at the right level to provide in-depth knowledge while maintaining trainee interest. Dawn is an excellent trainer who can provide unambiguous answers and clear explanations on almost every aspect of the course content. Good facilities and ideal location. Thanks Jon"

"I was put at ease and welcomed by the Receptionist who explained about ordering lunch, where the loos were, etc. The course was well presented and maintained a good pace throughout the day with well timed breaks and plenty of complimentary drinks and biscuits. David Lonsdale explained things very well encouraging questions (no question too silly) and discussion. He made sense of the techniques he taught by explaining the rationale behind them which will definitely help should I encounter an emergency situation. I came away feeling much more confident about First Aid. Location, parking, facilities and cafe excellent. I will certainly recommend Livius Training Centre and look forward to returning when I next need to update"

"A well run and organised course with an appropriate mix of theory and practical work to do. A positive atmosphere was created from the start by the instructor with no question being seen to silly to be asked. All our staff enjoyed learning life saving skills and have learnt valuable knowledge for the future. Thank you for a great day!"

"Great Course, which was well attended. The instructor tailored the course so that each individual could take home what they needed to get out of the day. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Would defiantly use Livius Training in the future and recommend to others."

"Attended this course last week. I enjoyed the course and I honestly didn't think I would be saying that about first aid. It was interactive and fun not just learning the theory and then giving it a practise. The tutor Mark gave us scenarios so we could really understand what it maybe like in a first aid situation. I have attended many first aid courses in my role as a teacher, but this was by far the most realistic, inspiring and interesting. As a result, I am aiming on teaching some basic first aid to the children in my class using some activities we participated in during the course. I would highly recommend this course to others."

"Working within the construction industry requires all our staff to have Abrasive Wheels training as it is one of our mandatory courses. We chose Livius as our training venue as it was convenient for staff to travel to and they also offered this course plus another for the same day which was ideal for our staff. The content covered all aspects which are necessary and was presented in a clear format which our staff felt was interesting and easy to understand. I would recommend this course to anyone and we will be booking future training with Livius."

"I am the manager of a nursery and out of school club and we use Livius for all our first aid training. I, myself, recently did their paediatric first aid course with two of our staff team. The course was delivered very well with a good mixture of practical and theory. Mark does make the course fun and keeps your attention. There are lots of opportunities to practice what you are learning. We would definitely recommend Livius."

"The course was fantastic. I completed the advanced excel training with Nigel and it was a one to one session over zoom. I learned so much that I'm already now implementing into work and for the first time have actually been excited about spreadsheets! Thank you so much to Livius Training, from start to finish you made it easy, from making the booking, keeping me updated and Nigel was fantastic and made the course fun and easy to understand. Highly recommend booking with Livius, I can't imagine having gone with any other company now!!!"

He let us work through the techniques, so we knew the rationale of what first aid treatment was needed. He also shared some of his personal experiences which I know will help me remember what to do in an emergency. I have attended first aid courses before and this was definately the best. I would definately recommend it."

All in all a positive experience as i have come to expect from Livius!"

"Very informative and at a level all can relate to (candidates from various backgrounds). Always new things to learn. Venue great and food excellent."

"Good course and very comprehensive."

"I highly recommend this course with Livius training. Mark was very informative and kept us engaged the whole 3 days of the course. He was happy to answer any questions we had and the course was very informative.

I would recommend this course to anyone who wishes to learn about managing safely in the workplace."

"An excellent emergency first aid at work course! A very well organised course, delivered in a way that helps you to understand some of the mechanisms of the body and the reasons for doing what you do (as opposed to just showing you what to do.) Teaching the course in this manner with the addition of some good practical activities really helps you to remember all the information required to perform first aid. Combine this with clean, bright, modern facilities. Ample parking and an excellent cafe in close proximity to the training centre, it really is a great place to learn. Highly recommended!"

"I have used Livius training for our paediatric first aid training for several years now, all of our staff team have attended courses with them. Would highly recommend Livius.

"Trainer very knowledgeable on the topic of water hygiene, and the practicalities of implementing it."

I would recommend Livius training to any company, we will certainly be using them again for future courses."

"Brilliant course, it was kept interesting and even though I Do a annual CPR course I still learnt things I didn’t know. The tutor was Fab. Thank you"

He engaged with all of us and responded to frequent questions with well informed answers. Breaks were timely and allowed us the chance to refresh in order to move onto the next topic. I have found Livius to provide top quality trainers and we always use them for first aid training for our staff."

"Brilliant course - lots of time to ask questions relevant to your work environment and then there is an opportunity to learn how to use the different fire extinguishers with confidence."

"Good course, covered all the elements needed. Trainer was interactive and friendly."

The course is not only informative but David goes above and beyond to make it interesting with really good examples (stories of past experiences within first aid) along with trainee participation.

The facilities are bright and comfortable plenty of drink options with regular breaks and the food from the cafe is really good too.Highly recommend as interesting and good value for money."

There were many hands-on elements of the course as well as great knowledge given and explained - the perfect balance! I will be recommending this to everyone!"

"Enjoyable day from start to finish. Very informative and professional from every member of staff. Tom was absolutely brilliant at making everyone feel comfortable during the group activity. Perfect balance of giving great information and also not making you want to fall asleep. 10/10, would definitely recommend."

"Good course. Alison was engaging and informative. The day was well structured giving ample opportunity to understand the material without dragging things out. Livius had plenty of tea, coffee & biscuits available. Made for a good day all round."

"I've done a couple of Livius' First Aid courses over the years and I would highly recommend it. The Trainer Mark is thorough and informative, keeps a good pace and, despite having done the course several times now, I always come away reassured and having learned something new. Mark is really friendly and gets everyone involved and offers his own experiences which is really helpful. Thank you very much."

"Great course and I really enjoyed it. Nigel is very patient and very knowledgeable. I've done the basic and the intermediate course now with Nigel and both were excellent - highly recommend them"

"I agree with the reviews below. Mark was a brilliant trainer. Explained things really well but also in an interesting and captivating way. Lots of opportunity to practise what we were taught and some 'curve balls' thrown in to make you think!! Would certainly recommend this to anyone else needing first aid training. Many thanks."

"Enjoyable day from start to finish. Very informative and professional from every member of staff. Tom was absolutely brilliant at making everyone feel comfortable during the group activity. Perfect balance of giving great information and also not making you want to fall asleep. 10/10, would definitely recommend."

"The course was well run and organised. It is a long time since I have undertaken any first aid training and this was very informative, the trainer also made it relevant to individual work places when examples and scenarios were discussed. The trainer was friendly and made the group feel at ease which meant that the group activities and practical elements worked well. There was a good mix of theory and practical elements to the course. Thank you for an interesting and informative day."

"Excellent course , good pace , good venue would use again and recommend to others . Will be using for other training courses ."

"Fantastic course delivered by Mark Otley at Livius Training Centre. The facilities they have are brilliant for their purpose, the course was engaging and Holly made the whole process extremely simple (from initially booking to the end of the 3 days). Would most definitely recommend Livius Training Centre to anybody looking to complete their First Aid in the Workpalce certificate."

"Good facilities with lots of parking. On site café but tea and biscuits provided throughout the day. Course very well delivered, informative and friendly atmosphere. Recourses were made available for you to take away with you."

"My colleague and I found this course very useful. It helped us understand more about excel and how to use it more effectively in our workplace. It was very informative and easy to follow. Nigel was very clear in his instruction and helpful when we 'didn't quite get it'!!"

"An excellent emergency first aid at work course! A very well organised course, delivered in a way that helps you to understand some of the mechanisms of the body and the reasons for doing what you do (as opposed to just showing you what to do.) Teaching the course in this manner with the addition of some good practical activities really helps you to remember all the information required to perform first aid. Combine this with clean, bright, modern facilities. Ample parking and an excellent cafe in close proximity to the training centre, it really is a great place to learn. Highly recommended!"

"Thoroughly enjoyed this extremely engaging and informative course. Mark is an outstanding instructor who clearly has huge passion and knowledge of the subject. Nicole was very welcoming and answered all of my questions both prior and during the course. Overall it is fantastic value for money and I look forward to returning for another course very soon."

Nicole was very good with corresponding before the course, and it was well explained what was happening on the day. Our trainer (Tom) was extremely knowledgeable and experienced in emergency situations, and good at getting everyone involved, making us feel at ease, with lots of opportunities to ask questions. I would highly recommend Livius Training. I came away feeling more confident in First Aid and thoroughly enjoyed the day."

"An interesting course which was run by David Lonsdale. The course is not only informative but David goes above and beyond to make it interesting with really good examples (stories of past experiences within first aid) along with trainee participation. I have done similar training else where and must say this is the best to date. The facilities are bright and comfortable plenty of drink options with regular breaks and the food from the cafe is really good too.Highly recommend as interesting and good value for money."

"Everyone enjoyed the course, the trainer was great and he explained things in terms everyone understood. He encouraged everyone to be involved and settled anyone's nerves as the day went on so people didn't feel uncomfortable during a group training scenario. It was easy and straightforward to book the course and I've always found Livius Training to be extremely accommodating to our needs."

"Gary Heyburn - 21 November 2018 The course was well delivered and although it was three days the content was not repeated unlike some courses I have attended."

"Working within the construction industry requires all our staff to have Abrasive Wheels training as it is one of our mandatory courses. We chose Livius as our training venue as it was convenient for staff to travel to and they also offered this course plus another for the same day which was ideal for our staff. The content covered all aspects which are necessary and was presented in a clear format which our staff felt was interesting and easy to understand. I would recommend this course to anyone and we will be booking future training with Livius."

"I was put at ease and welcomed by the Receptionist who explained about ordering lunch, where the loos were, etc. The course was well presented and maintained a good pace throughout the day with well timed breaks and plenty of complimentary drinks and biscuits. David Lonsdale explained things very well encouraging questions (no question too silly) and discussion. He made sense of the techniques he taught by explaining the rationale behind them which will definitely help should I encounter an emergency situation. I came away feeling much more confident about First Aid. Location, parking, facilities and cafe excellent. I will certainly recommend Livius Training Centre and look forward to returning when I next need to update"

"One of our team members attended a first aid course. They said it was well-organized and very informative and he came away from the session feeling very confident about being able to give first aid as and when needed. We will definitely be using them again in the future."

"We use Livius training for our organisational needs and as with all our courses this one was organised and ran in a professional manner. A great course with a good mix of theory and practical work to do. The instructor was very good and made us feel at ease immediately and there was no such thing as a silly question. All in all a positive experience as i have come to expect from Livius!"

"This is my second time attending this course with Mark. The two day course was very informative but was delivered at a pace that suited everyone. There was a good balance of practical and theory work, these covered important information but without feeling too heavy. Mark was very good at making us all feel relaxed and happy to contribute to discussions. I would definitely recommend this course. The training centre as a whole was also very welcoming and offered great facilities."

"We attended the first aid at work course last Saturday as a group for our juniors athletics club. The day was really well organised and the learning was at a really friendly and easy pace.

I have left feeling confident I would know what to do in such an emergency. The facilities were very good. We had breaks that were set out perfectly with just enough time to do what you needed to do. The cafe was small but had good options for lunch. The site was easy to find. Would definitely recommend the course to others. Thank you!"

"I am the manager of a nursery and out of school club and we use Livius for all our first aid training. I, myself, recently did their paediatric first aid course with two of our staff team. The course was delivered very well with a good mixture of practical and theory. Mark does make the course fun and keeps your attention. There are lots of opportunities to practice what you are learning. We would definitely recommend Livius."

"Working within the Construction Industry means that our workforce must all have a certificate for working at heights and the training course provided by Livius covered all aspects. The venue is in an ideal location for our team who are located in various parts of Yorkshire and parking is available on site. The trainer explained everything clearly and did not rush the content so it was easier for staff to understand and take notes. I would recommend this course to anyone and will be booking future training courses with Livius."

I have found Livius to provide top quality trainers and we always use them for first aid training for our staff."

"Very intersesting course which had the right amount of information for you to be able to take in easily. The tutor had a vast knowledge of information and seemed to be able to relay it to us in a concise and easy to understand way which may it a very enjoyable day. I would recommend everybody to do at least a emergency first aid course as it would be a better place if more people knew how to give CPR. Even with the covid restrictions the whole experience was easy and enjoyable and the facilities are first rate. (Those that I used as I didnt use the cafe)"

"Very knowledgeable trainer and efficient online course. Whole process ran smoothly, would recommend."

"The 2 day paediatric first aid course was really well led by Mark, he managed to make it as practical as possible with covid restrictions in place and was very informative. He covered many topics and was very approachable with any questions asked. I would highly recommend."

The course was run in a 'covid safe' manner while still allowing for practical elements. Mark has a wealth of knowledge on the subject and is approachable for any questions. Highly recommend Livius for your training needs!"

"Attended the course last week. The tutor David Lonsdale was an excellent teacher. He made you feel at ease, and his teaching methods were brilliant. He let us work through the techniques, so we knew the rationale of what first aid treatment was needed. He also shared some of his personal experiences which I know will help me remember what to do in an emergency. I have attended first aid courses before and this was definately the best. I would definately recommend it."
