Our Reviews

Very informative, can go at own pace and easy to follow.

Excellent course delivered really well. Very interactive keeping you focused. Alys is very knowledgeable in travel health and I have learned a lot doing this course. Without doubt the best travel course I have attended. Thank you

Very Informative! Enjoyed and explained everything well

Would like to see more information on how to care for a positive mantoux test

The course met my expectations, it was interactive and ease to navigate.

Great course and I cannot recommend it enough. Everything went smoothly, including the prompt delivery of a kit when I booked the course at short notice. Alys’s delivery of the course was expertly done and covered everything at a good pace. I recommend this course to any aspiring phlebotomist and I am certain it gave me all the knowledge I needed to secure a recent job offer, having had no former knowledge. Thank you once again!

Great course, easy to understand and very helpful, cant wait to get started.

I came across this course through a google search so I wasn’t sure what to expect but was reassured by the excellent reviews. Alys was a very engaging tutor and the course was very informative and has equipped me with all the knowledge I need to get going in setting up a travel clinic within our GP surgery. I feel really inspired. Thank you very much – highly recommend! R Steele GP

Succinct, covering a variety of basic principles

Very intense but informative

This two day Introduction to travel health course was amazing. The teacher Alys Bunce was extremely knowledgable in all areas of Travel Health and made the course not only informative but also fun with her teaching style. The course covers everything you need to know if new to travel health and is equally perfect for nurses like myself, returning back to the speciality following a career break.

Thank you to Alys Bunce who delivered this 1-day course. Her up-to-date knowledge and obvious enthusiasm for Travel Health made it so interesting and informative. Particularly useful was the signposting to resources to check for any health and policy updates. I also loved the 5 Ts of Tropical disease framework. Thank you!

Very accurate. Was helpful the home kit, the course is very accurate for drawing blood for ACF.

I completed this course more as a refresher but also to give me a certified certificate. This course is amazing, Alys is an incredible trainer really engaging and makes the learning process fun and exciting.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Health Academy for any training needs.

Very informative and engaging, highly recommend!

A very important, hugely informative, extremely useful video course, helped me to understand about different types of fire and different types of extinguishers and how to use them, what is fire action plan, how to prevent fire and how to act in emergency situation and much more, thank you!

This was a great course as it not had the video with worked demonstrations of how to execute such life saving manoeuvres, there was a transcript too which helped to follow it even more closely.I thoroughly recommend this to anyone who needs to complete such training for personal/work purposes.

Thank you, I felt that the course material was delivered clearly and in a format designed to support the learning process most effectively. I thought that providing the learner with the opportunity to return to sections that were less clear and where answers given were incorrect really helped to reinforce the learning once re visited.

could staff not benefit from being issued anti vibration gloves to both aid in keeping hands warm but also helping with lowering the vibration through the hands?

A great course for protection of your hands and wrists that will preserve their use throughout the course of your life.

This short course was a good refresher of Health & Safety needed to work at home safety and perform job role effectively. Good all-round information given in short modules with an assessment to finish, not taking to much time from an already busy day...

The Infection Prevention and Control course is excellent. I found it extremely informative and it has definitely made me think about my own actions in this area. I now feel more informed infection control as well as more confident how to put it into operation

Good course but it's just common sense really.

I liked the way it was broken down into smaller topics and found each topic explained really well. The differences between vapors and gasses etc. as well as the handling of various materials and controls that should be put in place and how to assess the risks and deal with spillages was excellent. Its always good to do refreshers from time to time as industry standards change and move forward.

I have done manual handling courses before but I still learnt something new in this one. A good course.

I thought the video was reassuring and actually provided some really good advice about coping with anxiety, communicating your feelings and understanding them after the stress of the pandemic.

Good content, clear, easy to understandThe section on COSHH not really relevant to a general H&S course, too much detail & I lost focus here so perhaps reduce this or offer as a separate course for individuals who deal with chemicals etc.

Really liked the quiz's, I found these helpful

Very thorough and very informative!

Clearly outlines the topic, most of the issues and clearly outlines how to spit them and how to handle and combat them

It would help if there were subtitles on the video as the pc I used had terrible volume or lagged.Otherwise, the training was well thought out and informative.

The course had a lot of good information about asthma, somethings I already knew but it was good to go over them again. Course was not too long so I didn’t lose interest and all the points were covered very good course.

In all honesty I thought this training was excellent.It was both about the right level and length.For somebody hopeless with IT like me the programme was so easy to navigate and it was great to be able to exit and go back without the worry of earlier screenings being lost.I don't give 5 star reviews lightly but I felt this package certainly deserved it!

I find the training covered all the really important aspects of diabetes. It was delivered in a straight forward way, easy to go back and re read if necessary.

Strong instructional videos with simple to follow advice and good demonstration. I would have preferred to be able to change my answers before they were submitted for each question, particularly in the final assessment. Small detail. All in all a fairly comprehensive online training resource.

This course was more detailed that I expected and I now feel confident regarding Epilepsy Awareness.

The course gives an overview of Equality and Diversity in an easy to understand format.

Alys is an excellent trainer, she had so much patience and really explained the process step by step. I feel very confident in my skills after attending this skills session.

This course was very thorough, i enjoyed it very much.

Informative and easy to follow

The little videos were great, kept the course interesting and easy to follow.

Good, informative course. More detail to the vaccinations and more scenarios please.

All information was relevant and easy to follow

All very relevant and easy to read and understand

Appreciation for the course. Content was simple and easy to understand

Very thorough but thought could do some more testing on which fire extinguisher is suitable for different types of fires.

Very informative

Excellent course would recommend

Excellent course for all

Found the course content very useful and I learnt a lot of relevant information which will aid me at my work place.

A very informative video. If all food outlets followed these rules, nobody would have an allergy.

Excellent training course providing very important information about allergen awareness

Interactive,very informative, great course.

The two day course was very informative. I had no knowledge of even knowing how to start a travel consultation. The course has given me the confidence to start.

The two day course has taught me so many things !!!! Very interesting content, thorough presentation. Emley is an amazing teacher!!! Keep up with the great job !!!

The course I completed with Alys was really engaging and her approach was really relaxed but professional. She really understands the subject that she is teaching and has so much experience to add.

Very good quality course. Very professionally produced and some useful information to help you be comfortable and healthy at work.

This contains useful information including tips that can be put into practise immediately. It also includes am assessment that enabled me to identify issues with my home office set up that have been causing me issues with neck and back strain.

This online course was interesting and engaging without feeling onerous. I was impressed with the content. It contained many items that I had not considered before. The presenters were clear and easy to understand and the video clips pertinent to what was being discussed.

Seen a lot of these in c 20 years - this was easily the best in terms of simplicity and information. Also, delivered credibly and not patronising.

good information that is needed for people who work at desks, and Is also good for people who work long hours.

Brilliant!

Information well presented.

Excellent guide, which has made me more confident on signs and treatment of anaphylaxis

Very useful and informative

Very engaging. Covered everything in easy to follow format. Submitting a video assessment was so much easier than having to arrange face to face assessment. As either none are available or only available ones are too far away. Eg My nearest one was in Birmingham, and I live in Liverpool. My staff and I feel that if anyone else was in a similar situation need we would point them to this course

This course was ideal timing as I needed to get in my practical training to start offering the COVID-19 vaccines. Great trainer, really enjoyed the course

I have been doing flu training for a number of years and I needed to do my practical update training. This course was ideal, very knowledgeable trainers and great work book

Very well structured course. Learnt some great things. Love the combination of videos, taught elements and then the hands on practical bit. Never got bored

Very structured and simple to follow

Very good. A good balance of being straightforward, with pictures to support the instructions and without lots of overwhelming information that can cause confusion.

Great training. Just difficult as it isn't interactive (for if you have any particular questions regarding a specific child or injury) but a great clear, concise refresher.

Useful & well designed. Instruction was clear and concise, well-paced and informative.

A bit long but loads of detail and a good reminder

Having been giving this course , I’ve found it quite helpful and covers details I hadn’t thought about. How to deal with anxiety and preparedness necessary for a smooth transition.

It was good to know that you're not alone in feeling a bit anxious or worried about returning to work

Probably very useful for people who have not already returned to work already. Not so useful for those who returned some time ago or have been working throughout the Covid pandemic

I really enjoyed this training. Got lots of useful information and relevant updates. Alys was excellent and very easy to listen to and obviously very passionate and knowledgeable on travel. Great day

Great refresher day , I’m feeling much more confident about restarting the travel service within the surgery.

Fabulous teaching

Alys was an excellent course facilitator, links and resources all relevant, lots of things for me to refresh before we re-start

The on-line course went through all the necessary training to enable me to feel more knowledgeable and confident when administering any medication to a child in my care.

Good video content but helpful transcripts too if you can't listen to audio where you are. Clear topics, broken down into useful information. A great refresher.

A very clear and understanding course on line

Helpful reminder on storing and administering medication in school.

This training gave detailed information as to the legal and good pracitice requirements. It was easy to follow, informative and very useful in updating my knowledge around administering medication to children.

I thought the group sessions were great and gave me more confidence on how to use the Travax and other travel websites. Very well presented and I felt comfortable asking questions. Very informative session.

After the course, I feel my confidence level has risen 100%. Emly was excellent, backed up by Alys. They made it fun and very interesting. Thank you very much

Very well planned 2 day travel course

Although the course is short it covers all needed and important points. Images and graphics support the text well.

Enough contents to be able to refresh my knowledge.

Very clear and concise, easy to navigate.

Not an easy subject to have to learn about but very necessary. I found the course content alarming at times, just knowing that girls are subject to such cruelty is quite frankly unbelievable and concerning, but I do understand that I need this knowledge as part of my Safeguarding Duty.

This course was really useful. Clear and concise information split up into different areas to make it easy to understand but with enough detail to be used in a school setting. I now feel I understand FGM and signs to look out for and know the steps I would take if I thought it was taking place.

All the important aspects are covered in a clear and easy to understand format

Provided useful information on how to deal with/support a pupil who suffers from epilepsy, considering both their physical and emotional needs.

The content is well structured and uses plain English for easy comprehension. The presenter is clear, easy to understand and very professional. This is a great training video. I think there could have been more emphasis on the rights of the data subject that are "absolute" and those that are not - slide 12 mentions not deleting or changing data unless permitted to by a manager "or instructed by the data subject" - that's not always or necessarily the case - even if the data subject instructs deletion/changing personal information it does not necessarily follow that the data will be so altered.

Enjoyed doing the manual handling course and will come in to use in my daily work practices. Learning about the techniques of how to be safe for others and yourself.

well presented and easily explained.

The training was informative and not too long. The presenter was clear and the test was easily relatable to the course content.

Having completed several safeguarding courses both online and in person, this course was by far the clearest and most informative one of them all.

Very helpful and comprehensive

I like to make notes but I found it difficult as it was just a tad to fast for me. Apart from this it was very clear. I would recommend it to others.

I found this training to be informative and useful. It is very in depth and covers lots of information. I like the additional links and information that are provided they are very useful. It could be improved by adding case studies so you can use what you are learning straight away.

The equality and diversity training course is very interesting and informative . I have learned to always act in the best interests of individuals, to show respect and compassion to the people we care for.

I like you don’t have to read it all and it is spoken and explained

Very informative course. A great way to re-cap old material and also learn new information.

great informative interactive course!

A very interesting course that fully explains all categories of abuse and how to recognise each type.

It was straight forward clear on expectations and well explained training. I enjoyed and definitely learnt a lot from it.

Very informative and efficiently done.

Hard to make this subject matter interesting but it did a good job. The trainer was calm and informative. (Earrings kept changing though! Added some continuity interest!) Slides always try to show a different side to the words giving those who learn with their eyes more than their ears, an extra element. The bite size portions made it easier to absorb the information also.

Important part of my job so good to refresh my knowledge in an informative and well presented course. Thanks

Easy to follow and good questions at end

Nice and easy to follow and to understand

A informative summary of H+S issues, which we all should be aware of, and keep in mind every day.

Great course easy to follow and understand. Very good

Really informative and well explained

I found the course very interesting easy to follow I also liked that after a few slides you are asked a question,very informative

Really informative and well explained.

As someone who is not a carer but works with many adults, some of whom may be considered vulnerable, I found this course very helpful in increasing my knowledge of how to act in respect of concerns that sometimes arise. It also reminded me of appropriate ways to support and encourage a sense of personal dignity in others.

very informative and like the bite size chunks. Very useful refreshing my knowledge on how best to deal with fires.

Excellent course informing me of every situation and my well being.

Comprehensive and thorough

The course is excellent easy to follow and the test is an appropriate length and fair.

it is clear and easy to follow. Short video format and summaries of at the end of each section makes it easier to understand and remember. I have learnt some interesting situations about adult safe guarding.

Clearly explained symptoms to be aware of and ways to treat and support a child with asthma at school.

Very well presented course in very easy to understand blocks. Very nice to see training about how to use a fire blanket properly - never seen that before!

I enjoyed the course and felt it was covering all the main issues we deal with.

I think that it’s really great that we can get to do these studies and tests in our own time, unless there is a deadline. The explanations given are clear and easy to remember so that when you do the test it’s still fresh in your mind. Also if you do get it wrong you can go back and redo the lesson your unclear about until you get it right.

Good interactive and engaging resources

I would recommend this course to any-one who a lone worker. And their are on or two things to take back to my line manager.

Enjoyed going back through the core principles of who Safeguarding is truly aimed at. I would ask that if there have been any key updates that these are highlighted whether, they be best practice or, legislative.

The training is very informative and well demonstrated.

Although manual handling is what we do everyday, the course is beneficial in that it reminds and corrects us on any aspect of manual handling that we are doing badly which may have adverse impact on our back especially bad posture.

It's not a topic you can really make exciting but it was hard at times to concentrate, although that may have been my environment that I undertook the course in.

Good all round information, clearly explained

The Course was very through and covered detailed information needed to carry out most moving and handling tasks.

This course was really good and very helpful with the work that i am in

Good course covering the subject matter

It covered everything I needed to know about the practicalities of moving and handling people including hoist work.

Overall, I really enjoyed this course as a good solid overview into Travel Health. This is a much more practical and interactive course then others I have completed online which therefore makes it a much more enjoyable experience! I think particularly for those who are new to travel it provides them with everything they need, the resources, tools and knowledge for them to become a competent travel health clinician.

Excellent, informative course.

Easy to understand

Easy to understand and very useful.

Very good explanation with examples

Very informative

Excellent. The training will reduce sharps accident and improve staff awareness.

Well presented with clear instructions and video demonstrations. I like having the ability to pause and repeat videos where necessary.

Short videos, very easy to follow, no information over load. Great as a quick refresher.

I found the refresher training straight forward and easy to follow. Multiple choice questions at the end were simple. Thankyou.

Good quality videos. Clear and concise information. Up to date with Coronavirus guidance.

The content was clear and the presentation was very good. However some clarification especially with regards to having visits from female relatives should have been clarified as other evidences may be required.

The course was excellent. Very easy to follow. Being put into groups was an excellent idea. We were of all different abilities, so being in a small group gave us more of an opportunity to open up with ideas before putting them out for the rest of the group. I have learnt such a lot, and so much more to learn. Thank you!

Very well structured course. Very clear and easy to understand considering the complexity of the subject. Break away rooms very helpful as discussions in smaller groups allows everyone to input their ideas. Definitely will recommend, thank you.

A great comprehensive course.

A very clear and informative course , i like how you can keep going back into the recording, it helps you take it all in easier

As part of my work, I deliver personal care with many vulnerable adults with disabilities. The training was highly relevant and appropriate to my job role. I now feel more confident in my abilities to carry out my job role more safely and effectively. Thank you.

Informative and refreshed my previous training

Informational to the point easy to understand and take in

Videos were informative and easy to understand and follow

Excellent course. It was clear and concise, easy to understand. I learnt alot! Thank you

Easy to follow, relevant to my job. Not too long so kept interesting.

This course gave very simple reminders of what we should know, but always useful to revise.

Enjoyed this course as it taught me more than I already knew about diabetes.

I like the bite size sections. Easier to go back and check if unsure.

well worth completing for any trip

I am a nursing student that is being asked to support with delivery of the COVID vaccine service. This course was so helpful, really great summaries and I especially liked the videos demonstrating correct techniques, as I see such variations in practice. I'll definitely be signing up for more courses.

Brilliant short course with engaging material that allowed me to gain a real understanding.

Informative, interesting, clear, precise, excellent knowledge and delivery.

Brilliant, thorough, interesting and comprehensive course for anyone new to leading a trip. Puts people at ease more having learnt all of this in the course

As I am not qualified, I was expecting this course to be a bit heavy, but it was pitched at a really good level and I took a lot away

Great update. Thank you

Very informative and clear training. Even learnt new things after so many years.

Really loved this training, cut out the information that wasn't relevant and really focussed on the things that we needed to know

I loved the way that this course was tailored to the needs of the group. Some were very experienced, but they still seemed well engaged

This was my first experience at online learning, and I was extremely impressed. I am an Occupational Health Adviser and was tasked with organising CPR and Anaphylaxis training for my colleagues. Feedback from my colleagues has also been positive. I know where to turn to for any future online learning and have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Just completed the short Cholera course. Excellent! Quick to do, lots of useful information presented in a clear, concise, easy to digest format. The mixture of videos, tasks, photos, diagrams and text conveyed all aspects of cholera in a stimulating and memorable way. Having known little about cholera before, I now feel far more confident about giving advice to future travellers. Definitely recommend.

Clearly explained and generally relevant to my needs. Not sure I would continue with the silly hats though.

I usually dread doing online training, but these courses were so good and so interesting, I really enjoyed completing them.

Found this course very engaging and loved the animations.

I have just completed the Seasonal Influenza online course. I enjoyed working through it as the animations and videos kept me interested and they were easy to understand. I am new to vaccinations and this course provided me with everything I need to know about Influenza vaccinations. I particularly like the summaries at the end as they are concise and a good reference for what can be quite a confusing subject matter (for me!). Well done Health Academy - this is great course with lots of interesting facts as well as the necessaries. This course also provides links to appropriate government documents and additional reading. A resource I will no doubt refer back to.
