“Blueguard is a reliable professional & efficient safety & first aid training company, qualities that are very difficult to find in the market these days. Once I met Luke Cunningham I automatically knew I could trust him with my staff & knew they would be trained to the highest standard. I am impressed with the trainings delivered and look forward to a long-term business with BlueGuard"

“Blueguard have been doing our Basic Life Support Training for the past 3 years and in 2020, I happened to attend for the first time. The sessions are interactive and engaging. The instructor is clear and precise. Dan gave us the latest information with regards to The COVID 19 pandemic. We are now better equipped with the knowledge and skills to handle first aid administration. Thank you Blueguard!”

The methods and contents taught are extremely in-line with UK standards set by Highfield International. The whole team is excellent; Mr. Luke Cunningham & Kim Beasley are fantastic!! Mr. Dan Dexter Pamplona is kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone was having fun while learning how to be the best lifeguard possible. The Blueguard Academy has filled a niche in the market and can be proud of all their company has achieved. Thanks for the amazing experience! I will recommend Blueguard ME to anyone looking to take their life-saving/teaching skills to the next level!"
