What Our Clients and Learners Are Saying About Us
I’ve done at least 8 different first aid courses over the last 18 years in childcare, and this was easily the best by a long shot. Paul was entertaining and straight to the point. I will definitely be booking Cognet next time we have any training requirements.

Heidi Coombs
Today I have received my merit award in Level 3 Award in Health and Safety. I have surprised myself in being ‘over the moon’ with my qualification following the exam at the end of your course – I haven’t done an exam since 1983 so amazed that I did so well. Lots was going on at work affecting my concentration perhaps, but the subject drew me in due to the trainers enthusiasm. I must have had 30 courses over the years and this one was in the top 5, I won’t say number one or this could encourage complacency! 😉
