"I recently had the pleasure of attending AEC's first aid at work training led by the exceptional trainer, Helen Wheeler, and I must say it was an incredibly valuable experience. Helen's expertise and passion for first aid were evident from the start, and her engaging teaching style made the learning process both enjoyable and informative. The training provided by AEC was comprehensive, practical, and tailored to our specific workplace needs, ensuring that we were well-prepared to handle a wide range of first aid situations. Helen's approach was not only professional but also deeply caring, as she took the time to ensure that everyone in the class felt confident and capable in their first aid skills. The training facilities were top-notch, and the hands-on scenarios and simulations gave us the opportunity to apply our knowledge in a realistic setting. Helen's guidance throughout these exercises was invaluable, and her feedback was always constructive and encouraging. I left the training feeling empowered and equipped with the knowledge and skills to handle first aid emergencies with confidence. I highly recommend AEC's first aid at work training to any organization looking for high-quality, tailored first aid training, and I especially commend Helen Wheeler for her outstanding instruction and dedication to ensuring that every participant walked away with the tools to make a real difference in emergency situations. Thank you, AEC, and thank you, Helen, for a truly exceptional 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟training experience." More...

Having previously attended an AEC course at the old premises I was pleased to see that the new company offices had moved to the right side of Romsey Town to reduce my journey slightly from the north of the county. It is an easily accessible location on the edge of Romsey with plenty of free parking. The training room for my FREC3 course was a good size with plenty of room for PowerPoint presentations and practical skills sessions. Training props for a wide range of medical emergencies were on hand and used in role play activities. Excellent tuition from highly trained frontline paramedic Leo who has a wealth of knowledge with clear explanations of pre-hospital procedures. Role play scenarios and assessments included trauma and presentation of patients with symptoms of life threatening conditions, including the grand finale scenario in the car park. I won't give away the details! Our borrowed 'stooge' Jordan seemed afflicted by an untold number of life threatening ailments but managed to survive, although his polo shirt didn't survive Day Five. It pays to book directly with AEC Protection and not through a third party agency. There is plenty of room to enjoy lunch and tea breaks on site and it is recommended that packed lunches are taken. There is a facility to purchase hot drinks from a vending machine. In conclusion - an excellent First Aid course and a top quality course provider in AEC Protection, thank you. More...

DS Top Up Course carried out on the 04 - 05 Dec 2023. Main. Instructor was an individual called Jordan. Extremely experienced with loads of examples. Instruction was very enjoyable and instilled confidence in the Role studied. Highly recommend AEC Protection for your courses and I would be back for the Top Up course again when required. Thank you.

Completed the Top up Training Close Protection course, Nov 23. Enjoyed the training, Tom, Instructor well informed. Clean, modern training area and classrooms and canteen area. I would recommend this course to any ladies as I was the only lady on the course and was treated, respectfully by attendees and staff, in a relaxed and emphasised learning environment . A great experience but the exam day could have been better as the lap tops went down several times and I was there nearly 6 hours. I’m sure AEC will sort this out. For accommodation, The White Horse in Romsey is a good option 👍 More...

The course professionally run and the instructor we had (Tom) was very experienced in the use of restraints with his back ground in the military ( this was evident to myself and another ex military person) I would strongly advise anybody looking at gaining the qualification of level 3 hard restraints to seriously consider using AEC for the course.

The staff were very friendly, approachable and understanding of different learners needs. Devayani is very knowledgeable and realistic in regards as to what to expect in real situations when working as a door supervisor the only thing that held certain learners back was their attitude towards the course being suitable for their line of work however this is not a reflection on AEC as a training provider. The facilities provided were top notch and Hugo was definitely helping keep things interesting. Thankyou for your help guys i will definitely be returning for future courses and possibly even employment. Kind regards, Joseph Powell. More...

I had my training last week to be honest I was dreading going there at first but once I arrived the instructor Jordan was very likeable, funny and while teaching would give examples from situations he’s experienced himself as he was part of the ambulance service. This helped me understand and made learning easier as I had someone who knew what they were speaking about teaching us. The course was very informative and interesting. More...
