I am a partner in a small business – a garage workshop based in Keighley, West Yorkshire.
My wife did the course, and I could see the benefits of knowing what to do if an emergency should arise. It didn’t take her long, and she got a real sense of achievement on completion. I watched the promotional video and decided that we both needed to know what to do in an emergency situation for the sake of family and friends, so I registered myself online that same evening.
I cannot see why anyone would not want to do it. Done at home with no pressures, and I could go back if I got things wrong in the quiz, till I fully understood and then passed. A safe environment in which to practice. I felt a bit pressured in the quiz.. with it being timed, but then you would be pressured if in an emergency in real life. The only difference being that I could re-do it in the programme, you may not get a second chance in real life!
I will display my certificate in my garage workshop, along with an awareness poster which we downloaded from the Prepared to Save a Life website and printed off. https://www.virtual-college.co.uk/resources?challenge_string_mv=Saving%20Lives
