"The advantages of training are that it allows us to understand and learn exactly what we need to do. This makes sure that we know the signs and symptoms and how to prevent or help if anything happens. By demonstrating these skills; it gives us clear detail so that when we are actually helping the customer, we know what needs to be done."

Joseph Deen

"I enjoy the training because it is interesting as I learn some of the things that I did not know before. Also allows us to use the knowledge and skills in everyday life. This makes it effective as we are able to practise on each other which shows us what we are doing wrong thus we are able to correct it."
