Thank you for visiting our website. This page is to help you understand a little
more about our background and ethics. As the Managing Director & Lead Trainer of
1st ACT Ltd, my role is to co-ordinate the training, the syllabuses, the
trainers and the venues to make your experience the best it can be. We've made
changes over the last 10 years, all based on client feedback. My personal First
Aid background goes back to 1990, when I joined the British Army and was being
trained and fully prepared to serve in the golf war. First Aid is obviously a
priority for all our military personnel, but when you feel it could be needed
soon, it definitely makes you sit up and listen. At least it did with me, so
much so that I wanted to know more and more about the amazing human body. After
leaving the forces it appeared to me, to be a natural progression to enter into
the Emergency Services, so after a few years with Wiltshire Fire Brigade I moved
onto London Fire Brigade in 2000. With our First Aid knowledge and some with
training backgrounds, my colleagues and I were asked to assess and then train
First Aid for a few large companies based around the South East of England. I
setup and established 1st ACT in April 2007 (becoming a Limited Company in April
2015) with the aim of making life saving skills affordable to all without
dropping any of the high standards often found in larger organisations. With 1st
ACT Ltd you still get the same wealth of experience and high level of training
but at prices our competitors simply cannot come close to on Ofqual regulated
courses!
