“Today was a powerful reminder of the impact we can have as trainers.” – Tim Atkins
This story stopped us in our tracks.
Tim, one of our outstanding trainers, shared this moment from his day:
“This morning, in the car park at Virgin Tech, I was greeted by a former student I’ve had the privilege of teaching over the past six years. He approached me with a firm handshake and a big hug, and then shared something deeply moving.
He thanked me for all the training I’d delivered - especially CPR. Recently, his father suffered a cardiac arrest at home. Because of the training he’d received, he was able to perform CPR until the ambulance arrived. His father survived, and the paramedics told him he had done an excellent job.
Moments like these remind us that what we do goes far beyond the classroom - it truly can save lives.”
Stories like this are what drive us every day. Behind every course, every practical scenario, and every assessment is the chance to make a real difference - not just in the workplace, but in someone’s life.
Thank you, Tim, for sharing this moment and for the incredible passion and dedication you bring to every class.
