I attended a course delivered by Simon at SEF and found it very inspiring. It was delivered exceptionally well with so much great information that was easily absorbed. Even managed to put the skills learnt into real life practise three days later and remembered everything that was taught to me with ease. Will definitely be looking to take further course with SEF. The training SEF delivers is leagues above the standard the household names like RC and StJ deliver.1000% recomend for all aspects of first aid training.Posted on Google Caragh BurdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

From first aid to mental health training, SEF consistently provides first‑class delivery, resources, and ongoing support. Thank you to Simon and Donovan for your excellent service.Posted on Google Rob MatherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simon and the team at SEF made what could have been a very challenging day an incredibly positive experience. Many people find themselves on First Aid courses due to an employment obligation, add to this the incredible heat we were experiencing but Simon's communication, emotional intelligence, knowledge and personality ensured that everyone in the room was engaged. Personally, I left the session feeling a lot more knowledgeable and confident to help in a situation where First Aid may be required. I would recommend SEF without hesitation. A valuable and memorable day.Posted on Google Samantha GillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended an Emergency First Aid course yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. Simon delivered the course in a very relatable, engaging, and easy-to-understand way, making the content accessible and memorable throughout the day. Despite the hot weather, Simon kept everyone involved and interested, creating a relaxed and positive learning environment. The course was informative, practical, and full of useful knowledge that I feel confident taking away with me. Thank you so much, Simon, for an excellent course. I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to learn First Aid.Posted on Google John HarropTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hi Simon, John and I attended your first aid course on Friday 12th of June 2026. We found it extremely good. Just to say we have organised over the years first aid courses for our Profession, so we have been able to see how good your teaching is. It’s very clear for people who have never done it and very friendly. I would have no hesitation in recommending you in the future. With very best wishes and blessings Joyce and John Harrop.
Our Mental Health First Aid training courses equip individuals, managers and employees with the knowledge and practical skills needed to recognise the signs of poor mental health, start supportive conversations and guide people towards appropriate help.
Just as traditional first aid can help save lives in a physical emergency, Mental Health First Aid enables people to respond confidently when someone may be experiencing a mental health challenge. Early intervention can help reduce stigma, encourage people to seek support and prevent situations from escalating into a crisis.
Our accredited First Aid for Mental Health courses are ideal for workplaces, schools, charities, public sector organisations and community groups looking to promote positive mental health, improve staff wellbeing and create a more supportive environment for everyone.
By increasing awareness of common mental health conditions and providing practical strategies for offering support, Mental Health First Aid training helps organisations develop a healthier, safer and more resilient workforce.
