This weekend I completed my paediatric first aid training for the 6th time my first with GEM. Emma delivered the course in a way that kept the audience interested and I didn’t feel like I was sitting through the course for the sake of a certificate! Well delivered I would highly recommend and will use GEM for future training

My first aid course was organised for the residents of my village. I am so glad I attended. Emma the instructor has a clear interactive teaching style and is very approachable. We covered all the topics we asked about and lots more such as stroke, head injury, heavy bleeding, heart attack, using a defibrillator and meningitis etc. Emma backed up first aid/resus guidance with an explanation of why we would do this in an understable and common sense way. We also got chance to practice cpr on models of babies, children and adults. I now feel much more confident that I would know what to do should I need these skills in the future - for all our community. Thank you again.

The booking process was so easy, Gavin made every effort to make sure all our needs were catered for. Kirsty was extremely professional, easy going and very informative. Nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend GEM Compliance Training Ltd to anyone in the Early Years Sector looking to train for the first time or for a top up!

2017-04-03T21:01:35+0000

This is the 4th first aid course I've done and I can honestly say it's been the best , Gloria was lovely and kept it fun and interesting , we learnt new things that were not related as such to first aid but for our work with children. Spending 2 weekends doing first aid was not my idea of fun but from start to finish I enjoyed it and left after the 2sessions feeling more knowledgeable and confident that I could handle any situation should it ever arise. Personally I would 100% recommend GEM compliance for first aid training and I will defiantly book again when I am due to re new

Clare Hannan

I had to do this course for work, I went in feeling nervous but that quickly drifted away. I had a fun time, it was relaxed but at the same time I felt it was full of knowledge. As a person who learns with a more hands of approach this really worked for me. I came out feeling very confident with first aid! Would encourage anyone to use this company that is looking to do a first aid course! ☺

Emma Bradley

Claire Halliday

2017-03-26T21:05:37+0000

I have booked GEM compliance training before for my staff, this time I was the one who was attending the paediatric first aid with 2 other staff. The location is central to keighley as so easy to get to, the parking is just outside which was a bonus for me. The course was very informative, which taught me new skills and the assessment was carried out through out the day, except for the multiple choice question paper at the end of each day. The trainer kirsty was very helpful and friendly, she made all of us feel welcome and at home by carrying out small group tasks to get you thinking. The tea and biscuits where a bonus too. I will be booking you again when another member of staff are due their first aid, I'm even looking at booking a in house training for our children in the out of school club

Had a fantastic course which was taken by Kirsty Binns. She covered everything in detail & made you feel at ease. There is a lot of information given in 2 days but she delivered well which helped me to remember what was being taught. Thank you! �

What a fantastic company! Their classes are a very high standard, with engaging and relevant content being delivered at the learners' own pace. Several of my team have taken classes with Gem over the last year but I have only just experienced first hand how great they are! Highly recommend to everyone.

Had a really enjoyable experience and a fantastic trainer in Emma. In order to comply with new regulations regarding Paediatric First Aid we had to have all our staff trained up. Emma made the course fun, understandable and enjoyable with clear and concise information. Would definitely recommend this course to others and will be using GEM Compliance for any further training requirements we may need.

Both my husband and I have completed our paediatric first aid (Ofsted approved) with Gem Compliance Training. The instructors are friendly and informative, and make sure you understand what is required from you, as a first aider. I have done many courses with other companies, one very well known, and price wise.... GEM is very competitive.... almost half the cost! I recommend everyone does a first aid course......it's a skill you NEED to have. Thanks Gavin, Emma and Kirsty xx See you in 3 years

I would highly recommend this company for first aid training. I attended the paediatric level 3 first aid course this month and Aaron did a brilliant job training us. It was made enjoyable too, which many first aid courses lack. I have gained a significant amount of confidence in this area and was able to share my knowledge at work (school). Thank you!

2017-01-26T12:06:55+0000

In order to comply with the first aid requirements of many of our clients, we took up the offer of a one day first aid course with Gem Compliance Training. The aim was to ensure we had a member of staff with the relevant first aid accreditation available on every location shoot we undertake. I attended the course at City Training Centre in Bradford which was run by a knowledgeable and very engaging tutor called Gloria. I found the course to be very clear and straightforward with the right balance of theory and practical demonstrations, led wonderfully and with a very friendly manner by Gloria. We are now confindent that we can offer the right assurances to clients when filming on location and would recommend other companies take part in the excellent first aid training offered by Gem Compliance Training.

I completed my Paediatric First Aid course over two days, 9th\10th January 2017. From arriving on the first day I was made really welcome and put totally at ease. Kirsty our trainer was superb throughout and made the two days an enjoyable experience. She was very thorough and had ways of helping you remember everything. I found the course excellent and extremely detailed and certainly with all the up to date knowledge that I had been given I felt confident when I had completed the two days that I would be able to carry out First Aid if the situation were to arise. Thank you for putting me through this excellent, value for money Paediatric First Aid course. Three other ladies on the same course wished me to also thank Kirsty and GEM Compliance.

I found the course excellent. It was a detailed run through of all the key emergency situations you could come across. The trainer Kirsty was very thorough which helped us remember the different techniques of what to do. The course was split into two Saturday sessions, with a multiple choice test at the end of each day which made it easier to remember everything. I am confident that what I have learnt I could put it into practice in an emergency, which could make the difference between life and death. Thanks so much all at GEM I will definitely be rebooking when I need a refresher course!

I attended a first aid training course provided by GEM Compliance Training and thought it was fantastic. Emma, the trainer on the day, was extremely knowledgeable and created a relaxed environment, making the course both enjoyable and extremely interesting. I also dealt with Emma's husband Gavin, for booking the course and I thought he was very detailed and calm in his approach to explaining the benefits of being first aid qualified. All in all, I would highly recommend GEM Compliance Training for anyone considering first aid training. Top marks! Thanks guys.

Completed first aid course on 1/10/16 over two weekends, myself and two work colleagues attended from my work place. From sitting down to leaving on the last Saturday I was made to feel relax and at ease because to be honest sitting in a classroom full of strangers is not what I find comfortable in doing, but Kirsty Binns made it a very enjoyable experience. I felt I learnt and was shown in great detail how to become a pediatric first aider and i left the course feeling confident I'd be able to use in whatever was thrown at me in any accident or incident I had to attend. I would highly recommend choosing this course a very welcoming team. Thank You

Being foster carers we have done a lot of different training courses,but we can both say this was by far the best training we have been on, you were made to feel welcome and at ease which made for a very informative and focused course and even though it was a very important and serious subject we were still able to have a little fun with the group. Emma is a fantastic teacher and I would recommend GEM Compliance training Ltd to anybody who requires the training that they provide 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Paul & Denise

Really enjoyed the First Aid course at Warrior Factory last Sunday. Emma was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and very patient with us all. Have to say the 6 hours went quickly and I realised that although I did still have the knowledge, it is had changed slightly since I last did my training and having the confidence to be able to give the first aid in what could be a pressure situation was important, which Emma gave me. Have recommend you to my school for future first aid training when needed.

I am a childminder who renewed my Paediatric First Aid Level 3 course using GEM Compliance Training Ltd. I highly recommend this company for professionalism, focused and appropriate learning, in a very friendly manor. Gavin welcomed all of us on arrival, Emma awaited in the learning room having refreshments ready for our arrival. They have an extremely professional set up, with spares of everything for those who forget important things needed. The equipment is new and plentiful, the training was very well planned and executed. with regular breaks to allow us to re energise and free refreshments were supplied each time. I thoroughly enjoyed the course, and even though It was a refresher course for me, I can honestly say I have learnt a huge amount of new life saving skills, not to mention at an extremely competitive price. Thank you again Emma, it was great to meet you. Very Kind regards, Keelie.
