I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the past two days of training. It was truly amazing, and I appreciate the effort you put into keeping the entire crew engaged and active throughout the lessons. Everyone found the sessions incredibly valuable. We all came away with a lot of useful knowledge that will undoubtedly make a difference.

Thanks again for your time and dedication, and I look forward to any future opportunities to work together.

We all found it very helpful. I think although the crew aren’t ones getting the medication most time, it does help them to be aware of what we have and understand how its used. So overall, very good, thanks for organising

Chief Officer 55m+ Motor Yacht

Yesterday was really great and was helpful for everyone onboard - please pass on a massive thank you to Helen. I think it highlighted to the crew that we need to get into a better routine with drills and steps needed to be taken in case of emergency. It’s something we’ll work on going forward.
