We are Sam and Ross and we run Mini First Aid Dorset and East Somerset. Sam is an experienced healthcare professional who has been involved in learning and development for many years, and has trained first aid courses for a number of companies nationwide. Ross is currently an engineer in the Royal Navy but prior to joining was qualified to teach first aid with the Red Cross.
At Mini First Aid Dorset and East Somerset we offer a variety of courses to businesses and consumers. We are accredited by the First Aid Industry Body to provide workplace first aid qualifications, including courses such as First Aid at Work, Emergency First Aid at Work, and Paediatric First Aid.
Our focus is on providing high-quality training that is accessible and inclusive. We don't use powerpoints to teach our delegates, nor do we use written exams to assess them. These tools may make teaching and assessing easy, but we do not believe they make the lessons effective for most learning styles. Instead, we provide interactive and engaging sessions that include everyone and increase knowledge retention.
We run regular open sessions at Dorchester Youth and Community Centre for individuals to book onto, but we also love attending new workplaces to meet entire teams and deliver the training in the location and context within which it might be used.
