Venue Loxley Hall, Market Place, Hope, Hope Valley, S33 6RH Venue Details Our training venue is situated in the centre of Hope. Hope is a quaint village in the heart of the Peak District National Park Within a short walk from our venue there’s also a great selection of cafes, pubs and shops. Our courses are non-residential but we have several tried and tested B&B’s, hotels, bunkhouses and campsites nearby (we’ll be more than happy to help with your booking arrangements). We also happen to be perfectly situated for a range of outdoor activities if you want to wind down after a days training or tag an extra day onto your visit. Mountain bikers can head out on some of the countries best trails straight from the door. For climbers there are some of the best Peak District crags only 5-10 minutes away (Stanage, Burbage or Froggatt to name a few) and for cavers there’s classics like P8, Giant’s Hole or the delights of the Stoney Middleton caves only minutes away. Of course there are also loads of beautiful walks just down the road. An evening stroll onto Mamtor or a walk through the beautiful Burbage Valley to name a couple. Alternatively, there’s loads of other great villages such as Castleton, Hathersage or Bamford only a few minutes away. Stay on and visit Castleton’s famous caves (we are based in Castleton so we can give you great local advice), sample the shopping delights of Hathersage’s mega Outside shop or head through Bamford to visit the famous Derwent Dams. We really couldn’t be better placed for your course. Price £125 per person 10% discount for BMC, AMI or MLTA members 50% discount for anyone booking a place in conjunction with one of our NGB award courses (please contact us for details of our NGB courses). Successful participants will receive a first aid certificate (valid for 3 years) along with a comprehensive first aid manual. Please note that, unlike many first aid courses, our course fee INCLUDES a delicious buffet style lunch. Our Team We pride ourselves on the quality of our instructors and the relationships we build with clients. Our office is run by Cal. Cal is an active climber, mountain biker, qualified climbing instructor and Peak District resident. She can help with finding accommodation or recommending a good pub just as efficiently as dealing with course enquiries. All our instructors are local, active and experienced with strong backgrounds in remote care environments and expedition medicine. They are the face of our business and we know how important a good instructor is to giving you the best possible learning opportunity.
But don’t just take our word for it – here’s a few comments from previous participants: “The best first aid course I’ve done – and with 32 years instructing under my belt………I’ve done quite a few!” “I really appreciated the practical nature of the course. I’m not great at sitting listening for very long and, as promised, I didn’t need to” “I liked the way the course progressively built up our skills. I feel far more confident about dealing with future emergencies. Many thanks.” “I thought this was a very well structured course and the instructor clearly knew exactly what he was talking about. Highly recommended.” “A brilliant course.”
Why choose Peak Mountaineering for your First Aid Course?
