St John Ambulance Reviews

I did the online course with SJA and it was okay overall. Some sections were easy to understand and straightforward, so that was good. But a few of the videos took ages to load, and the layout felt a bit clunky, which got annoying after a while. I finished it in the end, but it definitely could’ve been a smoother experience

The SJA staff at the event were easy to spot and seemed professional enough. one of them was helpful when I asked a question, but overall they came across a bit distant and not super approachable. Nothing bad happened or anything, it was just a average experience.

The trainer was really good and definitely knew what they were talking about. The only thing is that it felt a bit rushed at times

The instructor was really friendly and did a good job keeping everyone involved. They explained everything in a simple way and answered questions without making anyone feel awkward, which I appreciated. I expected the day to be boring, but it was much easier to get through than I thought. Did anyone else go in expecting it to drag and end up feeling the same way?

The training moved at a really good pace. It didn’t feel rushed, but it also didn’t drag on forever. I had enough time to ask questions and actually keep up, which I appreciated. that’s how training should be done—clear, fair, and respectful of people’s time.

The venue was easy enough to access, and the lift came in really handy. No hassle getting around at all.

Overall, I thought it was good, but some sections didn’t really feel relevant to what I needed. I’m usually careful about spending time on stuff that might not be useful, so those parts made me a little hesitant. Still, there were enough helpful bits to make it worthwhile.

I ordered some bandages and a small first aid kit from sja.org.uk and it all turned up fine. The quality seems decent and everything was packed well and easy to use. It probably is not the cheapest option but I would buy from them again for the office.

I ordered some first aid kit bits from sja.org.uk and, yeah, it was mostly okay. The quality seems decent enough, but a couple of the items did feel a bit cheap-ish for what I paid. It will do the job, which is the main thing, just not something I’d be super excited about or anything

The course itself was okay, but once it ended, the support really fell short for me. I personally expect at least clear and proper replies when I follow up with questions, but I barely got anything useful back...

The payment went through on the first try, which was nice because I was kind of expecting some random error like usual. Confirmation showed up quickly too. It felt easy overall, even though I still don’t fully trust online checkout stuff half the time. No real issues on my end.

They showed up really quickly when help was needed and stayed calm the whole time. It was simple, useful support exactly when we needed it.

The course itself was fine and the trainer did a decent job, but the certificate side of things was a bit of a headache. I’ve done similar courses before where the certificate just appeared in my account a day or two later, so I wasn’t expecting to have to chase it up several times.

When it finally came through, my name had a spelling mistake on it, which meant more emails back and forth. It wasn’t a disaster, but for something you’re paying for, the whole process felt messier than it needed to be.

They all looked after me so well when I was there, kept checking if I was ok and made me feel a lot calmer. Proper kind people i’m really thankful.

The course did what I needed it to do, and booking it was straightforward. The training itself was fine, but for what it cost, I expected either a bit more time or better materials. It wasn’t bad, but the value didn’t totally add up for me. Also, the pricing compared to what you actually get felt a little off — that part was weird...

I had to cancel my booking and expected the refund process to take a while or involve some back and forth, but it was sorted really quickly. The money came through sooner than I thought, with no hassle at all

and overall, I had a good experience. The emails were clear and easy to follow, but the replies did take a bit longer than I expected sometimes.

The course was alright, but I didn’t come away feeling that confident. We spent a lot of time watching and talking things through, but I really needed more hands-on practice to feel like I knew what I was doing. The trainer was friendly enough, but some parts felt rushed and a bit more complicated than they needed to be. For first aid, I expected to leave feeling ready, not still unsure about the practical bits.

I ordered some first aid supplies and they turned up the very next day, which was exactly what I needed. No delays or hassle, just a straightforward order that arrived quickly. Based on that experience, I’d happily use them again...

Signing up to volunteer was smooth. The onboarding was simple, and everyone I spoke with was nice. So yeah, very calm and totally not me overthinking every step for no reason...
