Donna played a vital role at this indoor music event, her determination and ability helped to motivate and at times direct the team. The event prompted a major incident after large volumes of people became worse for drink and drugs - I was so pleased to have her skill and support at this busy venue

Donna was called to a Cardiac Arrest at the show, I backed her up arriving 2 minute later, she had the patient removed to a safe place and had already de-fibrillated the patient on my arrival. I still receive the positive feedback from her actions and professionalism. I am an Emergency Medical Technician with the NHS in my main job and can confirm she was fantastic.

"The course was fantastic, I gained so much experience out of it, Donna was really helpful and if you didn't get anything she'd go over it with you again in a way that suits you best, whether you prefer hands on, or reading or by PowerPoint she'd make sure that she'd train us in a way to suit everyone’s way of learning. I'm so glad, and proud to have my First Aid qualification because it's such a great qualification to have."

"I have taught with and been taught by Donna and can safely say you will not find a better trainer within this field."

‘Sent by work to ‘tick a box’ on what I imagined would be another long boring course. The 3 days spent with Wren Training in Morecambe just flew by. The course was best by far and I have done a lot of first aid training. Donna covers all learning styles and engages people well. Highly recommended. Our company have already booked more on First Aid at Work courses with Donna.’
KT – Preston
‘Excellent! Just what was needed, no over complicating it.’
MM – Carlise

‘I met Donna by chance at a networking event. I was about to book first aid training for my company the same day. I chatted to two first aid trainers that day but Donna and her passion for her training shone out. I booked a course there and then. We were not disappointed. Over 100 of our employees and sub-contractors have been trained now by Donna and we always get good feedback.’
PG - Lancashire
‘Excellent course taught by an experienced trainer. Donna made it simple to understand and is a funny lady. Her humour made the day go by quickly.’
DB – Sheffield
‘Great First Aid at Work course. I am a retired paramedic and wish all my training had been this easy. You get what you need and not lots of information you will never use or need. I actually found some easier and quicker ways of doing things from Donna. From now on all my slings will have knots in and my choking technique will never be the same again ha ha. Cheers.’
IP - Yorkshire
‘5 stars. Excellent. Thank you’
MG – Morecambe
‘Brilliant. Simple and fun as advertised.’
LO – Lancaster
‘Donna was extremely professional in teaching something she clearly has a long lasting passion for. After doing numerous military courses in a previous life, being assigned to another first aid course was less than motivating – however, Donna made this extremely fun and interesting for our whole group. The pace and direction that was taught made sure everyone went away with new and improved knowledge. We will definitely return and recommend to others – Thanks.’
JB – Belfast
‘So impressed with my training through work that I have booked my wife and brother on courses.’
LM – Lancaster
‘Excellent. I feel confident now to help people who need first aid.’
JP – Lancaster
‘First time doing any first aid training. I was so nervous but Donna put me at ease with her encouragement and humour. Thank you.’
KD – Lancaster
‘I just wanted to feedback about an employee who has trouble with reading. We contacted Wren Training prior to the course to explain his difficulties. Another company had suggested he might not be suitable for us to send on training. Donna was happy for him to join the rest of his colleagues on the course. Instead of singling him out she made adjustments by reading out the question paper at the end to the whole group instead of handing them out so he was included and not isolated. He came back to work so happy with his new skills. He has used them already, thankfully for just minor cuts etc. I want to personally thank Donna from Wren Training for turning a normally self-doubting young man into a confident first aider.’
MJ – Cumbria
‘Excellent as always. Thank you.’
CC – Morecambe
‘Donna your passion for your job is amazing. Your quick wit and comical sarcasm 😊 made the course a joy to be on. I am definitely doing 3 days with you next time not just the 1.’

‘I am a first aid trainer who requalified this time with Wren Training. I thought I knew it all. I learnt a lot from Donna. She taught me we never know it all, we are continually learning. Thanks for the tips and advice.’
AL – Lancashire
‘Donna is a great trainer. Her experience was obvious. Simple and funny. Best course so far.’
GH – Coventry
‘First aid is a serious subject but doesn’t have to be taught in a serious way as was proved by Donna. She greets you with a smile and never stops smiling. Funny anecdotes and easy to understand training made for an enjoyable day. It is not often you meet someone who loves their job so much. Happy to recommend to others.’
BC – Manchester
‘Donna spoke clearly and gave extra explanation when needed.’
AM – Grange-Over-Sands

GB – Cumbria
‘I am a support worker who looks after adults with additional needs. Donna came to show our group some basic first aid skills at one of our outside drop in sessions. We were astounded how easily Donna got the clients to join in. She gave them all a little practical test at the end to see if they had remembered what to do and they amazed us. Donna gave a certificate to each one for taking part and we have hung them on the wall with pride. Thank you for coming in and supporting our clients (and for staying behind to make butterflies for our nature wall 😊).’
KL – Preston
‘10/10 for the course and the chocolate biscuits, especially the wagon wheels. Room was smaller than our last course but still worked well. Loved the way you include everyone and encourage the less confident ones. See you next time.’
