Simon Ferris is an exceptional educator, engaging and informative. Invaluable experience.Posted on Google Dave HutchinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having recently attended the Level 2 Mental Health First Aid course, I wanted to share my experience and hopefully encourage other businesses to consider giving their employees the opportunity to take part in similar training. It was a compelling and thought-provoking day, but at the same time a genuinely enjoyable one. Mental health can be a difficult and hard-hitting subject to discuss, yet Simon from SEF First Aid Assistance delivered the course in a way that was engaging, inclusive and approachable, making it easy for everyone to get involved. Recognising what someone may be going through mentally is never going to be easy or obvious. However, the more people understand mental health, learn to recognise the signs and, importantly, feel confident discussing it in an appropriate and supportive way, the better it will be for everyone. A really worthwhile course that I would encourage businesses to consider for their teams. Many thanks to Simon and Donovan at SEF First Aid Assistance for making what could have been a challenging subject such an enjoyable and valuable day. Keep up the great work!

The team are professional, knowledgeable and really understand the demands of matchday football. Their first-aid cover gives players, coaches and parents real peace of mind, knowing that qualified support is there when it’s needed. They’re reliable, approachable and well prepared, and I’d have no hesitation recommending SEF First Aid to any football club looking for professional first-aid and matchday medical cover. ⚽️👏Posted on Google David FawcettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant trainer, very natural and knowledgeablePosted on Google Helen IllingworthTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wanted to express my deepest gratitude to Simon for his exceptional training methods. I was a bit apprehensive about enrolling in a basic life support training class. I’m not particularly comfortable in large groups and was worried about feeling pressured to perform practical exercises in front of others. However, none of these concerns were a problem. Simon’s easygoing experience and training style fostered an atmosphere where everyone felt at ease and free to ask questions. His explanations made the various aspects of the training more memorable. I highly recommend this course even if you’ll never need to use your skills. They’ll be stored in your mind for those just-in-case moments!Posted on Google rebecca aylingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very friendly and helpful staff. They have time to answer questions and explain everything very well. Would highly recommend this company unlike some others.Posted on Google Scott CarnegieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended a course delivered by Simon at SEF and found it very inspiring. It was delivered exceptionally well with so much great information that was easily absorbed. Even managed to put the skills learnt into real life practise three days later and remembered everything that was taught to me with ease. Will definitely be looking to take further course with SEF. The training SEF delivers is leagues above the standard the household names like RC and StJ deliver.1000% recomend for all aspects of first aid training.
Our Mental Health First Aid training courses equip individuals, managers and employees with the knowledge and practical skills needed to recognise the signs of poor mental health, start supportive conversations and guide people towards appropriate help.
Just as traditional first aid can help save lives in a physical emergency, Mental Health First Aid enables people to respond confidently when someone may be experiencing a mental health challenge. Early intervention can help reduce stigma, encourage people to seek support and prevent situations from escalating into a crisis.
Our accredited First Aid for Mental Health courses are ideal for workplaces, schools, charities, public sector organisations and community groups looking to promote positive mental health, improve staff wellbeing and create a more supportive environment for everyone.
By increasing awareness of common mental health conditions and providing practical strategies for offering support, Mental Health First Aid training helps organisations develop a healthier, safer and more resilient workforce.

The format of the day was engaging, and the trainer's informal, conversational style made the learning feel relaxed and accessible.
