Thanks Wayne – I feel much more confident about taking groups near or on the water. The course was really helpful and I would recommend it to others hoping to get a good understanding of how to operate safely within a work context.
Overall, the instructors covered every area of safety in the course. Thank you to both instructors. I felt very comfortable, engaged and I have learned a lot. Thanks you for your understanding and patience and for letting me back!
What a great course and well-delivered!
The tutors have a very effective teaching style, and they were really approachable and friendly but with lots of experience in the water.
