“Proactive First Aid delivered exceptional professional training to the staff team using a range of learning methods which ensured all aspects and understanding of the vital life saving skills were completely embedded within us all and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

"Fresh with the information and high level of training received from the Proactive First Aid trainers, one of our newly qualified staff had the confidence to help in a real life CPR emergency at the side of the road with an adult stranger and her actions helped to revive and save his life.”

Yr hyn y mae eraill wedi’i ddweud…

“Cwrs gwych - roeddwn i’n dwlu ar y senarios a’r enghreifftiau bywyd go iawn.  Mae gen i fwy o hyder ynghylch Cymorth Cyntaf oherwydd y cwrs”

Gwarchodwr plant cofrestredig, Blaenau Gwent.

“Cwrs llawn gwybodaeth ddefnyddiol.  Roedd gan yr hyfforddwr lawer o enghreifftiau o brofiad personol i’w rhannu. Rwy’n teimlo mai dyna’r ffordd orau o ddysgu”

Gwarchodwr plant cyn cofrestru, de Cymru.

“Cyflwynodd Proactive First Aid hyfforddiant proffesiynol rhagorol i’r staff gan ddefnyddio ystod o ddulliau dysgu a oedd yn sicrhau bod holl ddealltwriaeth ac agweddau ar y sgiliau hanfodol o ran achub bywydau’n cael eu hymgorffori’n llawn ynddon ni i gyd, ac rydw i’n ei argymell yn gryf.

“Roedd cwestiynau’n cael eu hannog a’u hateb yn llawn mewn amgylchedd hamddenol iawn lle nad oeddech chi’n ofni cwestiynu na rhannu eich sylwadau a phrofiadau gyda’r tîm cyfan.

“Gyda’r wybodaeth a’r hyfforddiant lefel uchel a gafwyd gan hyfforddwyr Proactive First Aid yn ffres yn y meddwl, roedd gan un o’n staff newydd gymhwyso yr hyder i helpu mewn argyfwng adfywio cardio-pwlmonaidd go iawn ar ochr y ffordd gydag oedolyn dieithr. Roedd ei chamau wedi helpu i’w adfywio ac achub ei fywyd.”
