Have just attended an Outdoor First Aid award. Simon’s enthusiasm, energy and passion for what he does is infectious. Simon has an incredible ability to turn what could otherwise be a very dry subject (first aid) into something fun and engaging, by choosing a variety of teaching methods which take you out of the classroom and get you learning in a practical, hands on way.

Just returned from an Outdoor First Aid Course with MountainXperience, led by Simon Pearce. The course was delivered in a highly professional manner by exceptionally engaging instructor. Knowledgeable in all areas on First Aid. Will be looking to complete further training with MountainXperience, and fully recommend others do so too.
