What our students are saying
What our students are saying
It was a fantastic course, I learned so much and the content and facilitation were excellent. I really enjoyed the visit to British Airways, but all the course presentations were great - clear and well conducted. Overall a huge thank you to Dr Terry and the team for a great course. A high level of professional instruction and knowledge was given.
Delegate of the CCAT 2017 Foundation Level course
‘The multimedia approach of the presentations, combined with many practical sessions, ensured a hands-on approach for delegates and afforded plenty of opportunity for audience interaction... For volunteers and observers alike, the site visits were valuable learning experiences.’
Pre-Hospital Immediate Care.
‘I would recommend this course unreservedly to anyone with even a small passion for medicine and flying. It is a brilliant course and well worth the expense.
Professionalism abounds throughout.’
British Association of Emergency Medical Technicians Journal.

‘... not only were volunteers able to brilliantly demonstrate disinhibition on removal of their oxygen supply, but they also had the chance to experience Boyle’s Law at first hand, having earlier enjoyed a particularly good lunch.’
