Ratings and reviews

Excellent learning and tuition app. Even as a qualified first aider this app is invaluable at keeping me up to speed on all the latest practices and procedures.

Very useful, up to date advice. Keep topping up by reading the information and taking the short quizzes.

I consider myself to be reasonably well informed about general first aid, but this app allows me to brush up on my knowledge, especially about conditions that I have not come across, like febrile seizures. I enjoy the quizzes, although there seems to be a bug, whereby it doesn't always record your answer accurately, so it gives you a wrong mark when you actually answered correctly.
