Planning to do a first aid course before the end of the year, seeing as its half an hour at best for a medic to get here.

But which one is better in your opinion(s)

Red Cross or St. Johns ambulance ? Or is it much of a muchness.
Much a muchness, try your local NHS Ambulance service very often they run FA courses as well and they tend to be more dynamic and up to date.
I done the standard 28 hr course with the red cross a few years ago, it was free as I volunteered with them. I learned some things but all of it is in the first aid book... so it was just practicing the hands on things and getting the certificate.
Yeah just done a red cross first aid every bit helps and hands on with some One there to point out were u are going wrong right is much better so if it's free cant hurt do it

They used to do lots of free course but no longer. I'm looking at booking a session in the next few months.
