We are Hummingbird Arvostelua 

excellent course, well rounded, in depth, great trainer full of knowledge and advice

Had a great experience with Hummingbird, and Ian in particular. He guided about 16 of us through a two day remote workshop with ease. Engaging us all from the get-go with his own personal story and his motivation, passion and compassion shone through the whole course. This helped keep us all really engaged and attentive in an otherwise hard working environment for such subjects (alone, staring at laptop etc).
I also liked how kind he was, there were a couple of potentially sensitive subjects for some of our participants and he handled them so with great consideration.
For anyone taking the course, try to carve out some time in the day or two after to recap the reading or catch up on anything you didn't get chance for as it's an intense couple of days but there is SO much more to learn in the books!

Ian is an amazing instructor. He deals with such a sensitive topic with huge amounts of knowledge and care. You feel like you can tackle the world when coming out of the MHFA training. Very inspiring and knowledgeable.

Ian was very engaging and was able to integrate with us all very well right from the get go.

Brilliant instructor, fascinating topic, and so important.

Really engaging! Content was great as was the way it was delivered. Ian was full of energy and examples alongside a good mix of light heartedness and seriousness.

Great training course.

2 days went so quick and was full of great information, discussions and collaboration.

Ian is a great host that makes you feel at ease and enables the training to flow easily. Everything was very easy to understand and Ian had the safety of us in mind.

Would definitely recommend

informative and helpful. helped me review how i look at, interpret and understand MH

Ian was a fantastic guide through this course. Really engaging and kept the momentum up over the two days, whilst also reading the room for when breaks were needed. It felt like therapy in addition to learning how to be a MHFA.

An absolute invigorating 2 day course which has 100% helped me recognise poor mental health in myself and others. It has also given me the confidence and tools to support people around me.

Really enjoyed this experience and with the knowledge I have now gained I’m looking forward to helping others with mental health issues in the foreseeable future.

Ian Hurst delivered the Mental Health First Aid course in an engaging and accessible way. His tuition was professional, comprehensive and relevant. I would not hesitate to recommend Ian Hurst and Hummingbird health to any organisation considering using their services.

Ian was very thoughtful and insightful during the MHFA course. He was adamant that the course was a safe space for us to talk about our ourselves and always let us know that we can talk to him if needed.

One of the best courses I have attended over the last few years.
It was very interactive, engaging and fulfilling with so much information that I believe I have learnt and will take away and hopefully have the confidence to apply if faced in a mental health scenario.

Engaging, informative and professional. Really enjoyed the mental health first aid course. This should be something every employee and healthcare professional attends, it is eye opening and allows you to apply the understanding and increased awareness to the workplace as well as every day life.

This course was brilliant . It was educating , eye opening and delivered with skill. Ian is knowledgeable and engaging . He takes care to guide the participants through the course understanding that some of the content is difficult. Whilst the course content is detailed , informative and extremely well put together it is Ian’s delivery which makes it powerful. I have recommended hummingbird and the training it offers to many people since the course. This course should be done by everyone!

A very insightful training experience that has made me a feel a lot more confident in understanding mental health and what to do in a mental health first aid situation. Even when delivered virtually, Ian managed to keep us all engaged and the training, considering some areas were sensitive, was enjoyable.

Excellent delivery of Mental Health First Aid Training. Ian is very engaging and knowledgeable and I would recommend him for training in any aspect of Mental Health.

Well presented and very inclusive. Highly recommend.

The course was delivered with such confidence and clarity by someone who clearly loves his job and is an expert in this field. Although an online course, the environment created was always friendly and inviting; many of us felt comfortable to share our own experiences without a worry of the opinions of others. We were listened to value and validated. I have learnt so much about myself as well as how to support others. Thank you.
