I would just like to say a huge thank you to Group 314, I cannot express my appreciation and gratitude enough for the support that has been given from day one.

The course was excellent, it managed to put the theory into a practical situation to ensure we gained insight into how it would effect and be incorporated into our workplace. Overall the course is a credit to Group 314 and I would strongly recommend it to others.

Outstanding, informative course. This course should be available to all emergency personal. The way the course was conducted was very professional.

The training was very relaxed which made the learning easy and enjoyable. The trainer was very easy to understand; his knowledge was very wide on a lot of interesting subjects.

The course we just completed was the best course I have done for a very long time. The instructor was excellent, he integrated himself into the course. He may have been instructing the course but he acted like part of the team, which made learning and interaction much easier. He obviously knows how to run the course. I would not hesitate in recommending this course.
