Thank you for the great session

I have just completed the three-year refresher MHFA course, delivered by the brilliant Ian Hurst. He has the gift of delivering a difficult subject with knowledge and humour. It ensures the information stays in. It was an informational and enjoyable 4 hours!

I recently completed a 2-day course with Ian Hurst, and although I had taken this course before, this experience stood out in every way. Ian's delivery was outstanding — his attention to detail and genuine passion made it impossible not to stay fully engaged.

Thank you, Ian — you're a class act!

I recently attended the Mental Health First Aider course and found it to be an incredibly valuable experience. The instructor Ian was truly inspirational, demonstrating a deep understanding of the subject matter and a genuine passion for mental health advocacy. Their ability to create a safe and supportive learning environment made a significant impact on my learning experience.

The course content was comprehensive and well structured, covering a wide range of topics that are crucial for understanding and supporting mental health. The practical exercises and real-life scenarios were particularly helpful in building my confidence and skills in providing mental health first aid.

Overall, I feel much more equipped to recognise and respond to mental health issues, thanks to the excellent instruction and supportive atmosphere of the course. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to make a positive difference in their community.

Ian delivered the training with realism, openness and in a manor that put everyone at ease and encouraged open dialogue and discussion. The result of this, is that new techniques and skills have been learned, and important information absorbed.

One of the best training events I have been involved in.

Ian is an engaging, approachable trainer who somehow makes a sometimes emotionally challenging course a lot of fun.
I would thoroughly recommend.

Ian was a great trainer and support over the two days of our Mental Health First Aider Course. Ian immediately lifted the vibe of the room and created a safe and inclusive learning environment for everyone with what can be a heavy subject. I would recommend everyone do this course, especially if you think you don't need to! An eye opening two days and learnt a lot about myself and the importance of good mental health in general.

I found the course Ian gave to be, as cheesy as it may sound, quite life changing. It has opened my eyes to so many things I had no knowledge on and didn't understand. The engagement and passion that Ian has to deliver what can be quite uncomfortable and upsetting subjects was fantastic and I will take so much away with me and have already been "cashing in" every day since. I highly recommend picking Ian do deliver this course for your business and simply for you as a person.

Brilliant course delivery from Ian, he was welcoming and encouraging making a safe space for a potentially difficult course content.

Couldn't rate Ian more highly if anyone is looking to attend one of his courses. He was able to put everyone at ease, which allowed questions and openness

Active and engaging course with an instructor who was passionate and caring about the subject. I would definitely recommend the course to individuals and businesses thinking about enriching their mental health provision and understanding.

Ian was very informative in the training he provides and makes the training easy to learn

Ian Hurst was incredible! He made the course super exciting and interesting, kept the group engaged and interacted and supported our learning in the most effective way possible.

This training was delivered with great knowledge and understanding. The balance of professional and human was just right for such a difficult topic.

I would encourage anyone to undertake this training once you know the signs and language to use around suicide you will feel more confident to try and help.

Thank you
