This life-altering event became the catalyst for a profound commitment to education.

​Having personally navigated the physical and emotional recovery that follows a major trauma, Ashley doesn't just teach the technical skills of first aid, he delivers the material with genuine empathy and a unique, life-tested perspective. 

​Now, Ashley empowers others by teaching them to remain calm, confident, and competent in an emergency. His classes are not just about certifications; they are about fostering a community prepared to help when it matters most.

From a young age, Jason has always been fascinated by emergency response, inspired by shows like Ambulance, Cornwall Air 999, and Emergency Helicopter Medics. Watching real-life heroes in action sparked a lifelong passion for helping others and a deep commitment to teaching lifesaving skills.

As a dedicated Emergency First Response Instructor Trainer, Jason brings energy, compassion, and hands-on experience to every class. He believes that first aid training is about more than procedures, it’s about confidence, calmness, and the courage to act when it counts. Through engaging and practical instruction, Jason has guided countless students and instructors to feel empowered and ready to respond.

Always striving to grow, Jason is currently expanding his expertise through FREC 3 (First Response Emergency Care Level 3) training strengthening both knowledge and teaching ability. And because emergencies can happen anywhere, Jason always carries a fully equipped first aid bag, ready to help in any situation that might arise.

For Jason, emergency care isn’t just a profession, it’s a calling. Every course taught and every student inspired represents another life that could one day be saved. Training Philosophy:

“First aid isn’t just a skill — it’s a mindset, a passion, and a promise to be ready when someone needs you most.”
