About Sarah Jeffries, Owner, AED Training
‍

AED Training, established in 2011 by Sarah Jeffries, originated from a place of loss and a desire to empower others with life-saving knowledge. Sarah experienced the tragic loss of a close friend to sudden cardiac arrest, a situation made worse as no one present knew how to respond.

Motivated by this incident, Sarah sought to educate herself in First Aid but found the available training methods uninspiring and tedious, characterised by protracted 8-hour PowerPoint presentations. Driven by a newfound passion, she decided to make a difference, leading her to establish AED Training.

Her ambition was straightforward yet profound: to offer engaging, hands-on life-saving courses to local individuals and businesses. Sarah was dedicated to deviating from the conventional, monotonous training methodologies. She innovated a distinctive training approach, blending immersive hands-on experiences with multimedia elements, all delivered in her signature, down-to-earth style.

Sarah’s approach was revolutionary; it not only conveyed vital knowledge in a more accessible and engaging manner but also facilitated a deeper understanding and retention of life-saving skills among participants. AED Training, under Sarah’s adept guidance, continues to champion the cause of empowering people with the knowledge and confidence to act promptly and effectively in emergency situations.
