What do some of our customers think?
Informative course, Fotini was great at explaining everything in detail, clear and simple. Pamela C, Caerphilly, Carer
I liked the secondary training by looking at lots of real-life conditions particularly for pupils at a school.
Lora Z, Teacher
Was a great course, really enjoyed it and felt more confident to deal with emergencies with children! There were a lot of opportunity to practice and we used really high tech training aids. Thank you. Aston, Dentist, Aberdare
I enjoyed the interactivity of the course. It made me feel more confident in my skills. Tom S, Cardiff
I really enjoyed all of the course and feel confident in handling an emergency situation.
Tanya P, Pontypool, Gym Instructor
Just been on a Basic Life Support with AED course with Four Minutes and I was very impressed with how much was included on the course. I really felt as though I was learning a lot and I now feel very confident that I’d be able to help in the event of an emergency. Fotini made the course a lot of fun and really took the time to explain what we were learning and how it could help. Stuart Bryant, Tekeez, Caerphilly
Attended a great course today, for Emergency First Response Life Support. Very fun and friendly course with lots to learn, which can help to save lives. Very good value for money and learned a lot. Richard Hillsdon, Tekeez, Caerphilly
As from today, if you need any lifesaving* done I’m your girl! I have been on Fotini Teneketzi’s (Four Minutes) excellent first aid course and am now available for heart attacks, cardiac arrests, strokes, choking incidents and serious bleeding. I can even zap you with one of those defibrillators. All certified and confident. Thanks! *Lifesaving refers to first aid only; I am NOT the girl for running into burning buildings, wrestling crocodiles, getaway car driving etc. Jen, Pontypridd
I enjoyed the theory and practical aspects of the course; the relaxed nature of the course. I had done most of the course many years ago and most came flooding back. The tutor was extremely knowledgeable and provided clear explanations and guidance.
Keith D, Maesteg, Retired
Learning how to administrate first aid to an infant is so important. I was very impressed with the training aids and with the instructors teaching approach. Poppy, Massage Therapist, Cardiff
I particularly liked being able to practice after each theory session.
Emma C, Aberdare, Student Midwife
Explanations were clear and instructions were easy to follow. I wish we had done a little more skills practice – perhaps the final scenario in smaller groups.
Matthew I, Teacher
A good combination of practical and theoretical learning.
Megan H, Exeter, Multi Sports Coach
Today I completed a Manual Handling course with Four Minutes. I definitely advanced my skills and knowledge of manual handling techniques as a furniture installer. It was a great day. Thanks for passing on your skills and experience Fotini! Simon, D&G Office Interiors
We had a great day learning emergency first aid at work! Mike, Operations Director, D&G Office Interiors, Cardiff
The range of scenarios helped me become more confident and helped me to remember key steps. Gareth P, Treharris, Multi-Sports Coach
The Course was clear, gave me lots of better use of my first aid. Very happy with the instructor. Rob B, Caerphilly, Technician
A good combination of practical and theoretical learning. Megan H, Exeter,Multi Sports Coach
Excellent delivery, nice balance between getting the information, training and humour by Alex.
Jo M, Learning Support Assistant
Lots of hands on. Great response to questions. The content was appropriate. The teacher was easy to relate to.
Julie G, Teacher
The course tutor realises how difficult, and sometimes boring, can be so she tries to implement a bit of fun and humour to make it easier to stay concentrated. Adam E, Abercynon, Delivery Driver
Great use of videos to explain what to do in various scenarios. Lots of equipment to practice with. Fotini was great at explaining things in a clear and simple way. The course was very useful and I feel much more prepared to deal with an emergency situation in the future.
Zara W, Cardiff, Dentist
