I recently attended manual handling training as part of my University degree. The course was led by Kevin, and it was honestly the best training session I’ve experienced! Kevin is an asset to this team, he managed to make what could have been a dry topic both fun and incredibly interactive. His teaching style kept everyone engaged, with plenty of hands-on activities and practical demonstrations.

Kevin’s approach was informative without feeling overwhelming—he broke down the core principles of safe lifting and carrying in a way that was easy to follow. He also added humour and relatable examples, which made the entire course not just informative but genuinely enjoyable. The day went very fast and by the end, I felt confident in applying the skills and techniques we practiced and left with a solid understanding of safe manual handling. This is how all training courses should be taught! Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn practical skills in an engaging environment!

Today I attended my SAS moving and handling course. Kevin was our instructor, right from the off he made us feel at ease and relaxed. The course was very informative and I throughly enjoyed it. Being able to be hands on and discuss what could be done better and what parts went well made it a better learning experience.

Kevin made the 2 day manual handling course super fun and engaging! While learning we were still able to have a laugh. He made sure we were more than comfortable with what we were doing before moving on to something else. Highly recommend!

Kevin’s courses are absolutely outstanding, it’s not your usual “death by PowerPoint” but instead a very interactive course along with plenty of laughter. Can’t recommend the skill zone any higher. For all your training needs please get in touch with Kevin you won’t be disappointed

Was really informative, amazing instructor, very welcoming, friendly and warm, nothing but nice and supportive, kept us engaged and entertained all while focused on what we are learning. If any other classes should be taught, they should be taught like this, this is how you engage with people and have them interact and focus more, this is how you teach.

Attended SAS moving and handling with Kevin as my assessor. Course was very interesting and assessor was very informative and well trained. Kevin made sure I had a positive experience at this course, would highly recommend.

Very informative 1st aid at work course. Kevin covered the areas most relevant to our job, gave us the theoretical knowledge with examples from his own work, and we practised CPR, using a defibrillator etc. Compared to other 1st aid trainings I've done, this one was straight to the point and as close to real life scenarios as you can get in a classroom. I left feeling confident that I might actually be able to do something useful in an emergency.

Kevin was great! He delivered first aid training to the practitioners within our nursery. He was extremely knowledgable, the course was also fun aswell as thorough. Kevin is a great guy and made the course enjoyable
