  I recently completed the First Aid and Manual Handling course with Lisa and thoroughly enjoyed it. Her extensive experience in first aid was evident throughout the training, and her passion for the subject really stood out. I came away from the course with a solid understanding of PHECC principles. Highly recommend Tribes First Aid.

  Superb course, brilliantly delivered, with relevant, real-life experiences. Removing the fear factor around the De-Fib was my main takeaway, and I 100% recommend this course to all sports clubs, coaches and Adult players.
Lisa was engaging, knowledgable, and hugely understood the challenges and worries that the public feel in many situations.

  I had my second First Aid course with Lisa last Sunday. It was so informative, interesting while being entertaining. What I mean by entertaining is Lisa was able keep the spirits lifted throughout a period that can sometimes be quite tedious. She was able to answer all the questions we had as a sailing school with personal experience and knowledge. No questions was too silly or too exaggerated. Myself and the team in Clifden Sailing School could not recommend her enough. Lisa is a true professional and I will be hoping to always come back to her courses.
Thanks again Lisa.

  Amazing day of training with Lisa a few weeks ago. I had first aid training many years ago and it just didn't compare at all to Lisa's level of expertise. By the end of the day I really felt confident that I became someone that could react in a first aid scenario. Instead of just explaining what to do, she explains what to expect and the reality of dealing with people and other distractions in an emergency. This really helped me to imagine the scenario and what I should prioritise. Lisa was also open to questions and was extremely approachable throughout the training. I'd highly highly recommend her services to anyone that wants to not only learn about first aid but also wants to walk away convinced that they can jump in to help in a real-world situation.
