The course was great fun and the knowledge that I got from it is amazing!
The staff are truly amazing always connecting the lectures with some funny stories and always some time to have a laugh that made my time in the class really enjoyable, course director Ian amazing with all the stories he has to share and his experience, would recommend this training center to anyone ! Can’t wait to come back in 2 years !
Kamenko Dujmovic –
The course was professional as much as it was entertaining and fun. The amount of useful information you gain in such a short period of time is amazing. The icing on the cake is when they put you in a real life scenario where your brain shuts down and you must react.. this is when you find out what you are really made of. The staff is positive and always willing to help. Oh, and dont forget about the beautiful city.
All aces in my book!
Jere Morahan –
This is the best DMT course I have done.
The course material is really comprehensive and well organised.
There is a generous supply of training equipment and consumables.
The practical scenarios are realistic and great for building confidence with new skills.
But the icing on the cake is that the trainers are qualified/working nurses and you have direct access to their knowledge and advice through the entire course.
All achieved in a holiday resort town.
You cant ask for better than that.

Prior to the course, Ian was directly contactable and was the best facility for availability. The e-learning was very convenient for me.
During the course the delivery was to the highest level of knowledge and experience. The staff were fantastic in teaching remote advanced clinical interventions and were always very happy and helpful with advice and support.
In a very short time we were all brought up to a high standard of emergency care for working in our environments.
Great location and easily accessable. Very enjoyable and professional course.
Mike Morgan (verified owner) –
The course was excellent! From the basic to the more complicated procedures it was all well explained and demonstrated making it easy to follow throughout. Presentations were thorough and delivered well by experienced medical staff. Practical sessions were realistic in small groups with a medical professional overseeing accurate success and application of techniques in very realistic simulated scenarios.
Ian’s presentation delivery and his very skilled medical team made this serious course stand out as informative, enjoyable and motivational. Set in a great location.
Thanks to everyone at Trauma Training. 5 stars are not enough!

James Pfeiffer –
Great course in an excellent location, couldn’t get better staff to instruct this course. Cant recommend it enough
Norman Todd (verified owner) –
I attended the DMT course as a medic with no diving experience. The online course was of a high quality which prepared me well for the in-person week at the centre. The instructors are all current ITU nurses with a broad background, a huge amount of knowledge and a friendly and informative teaching style. The whole course is very well structured, with hands-on moulages which are the best I have come across. This is a high quality course which goes well beyond the many tick box courses out there, and has put in a position where I feel fully prepared and inspired. I look forward to going back to do the refresher in the future.

The course was really good and it gave me a lot of new tools to use for further use as a diver. The staff was experienced in their field and contributed a lot, overall a super experience! I would highly recommend this course for everyone!
Tomas Hladik (verified owner) –
Simply all everybody needs to know about advanced life support. This course should be mandatory for all divers and the way Ian is teaching everyone will remember the core principles of first aid and care for casualties. Well done on his behalf.
Aristides Sanchez (verified owner) –
I have been taking the course with Ian Hughes for over 14 years since he taught the courses in London and he is undoubtedly the best teacher in the sector.
The academy has the latest technology and all the facilities. It has a team of incredible nurses who will make the classes a fun and enriching time… The centre is located in an ideal environment where you can eat, sleep and if there is time, have a good time… As if that were not enough, the weather is always excellent in Malaga!… with the airport nearby and lots to see if you bring the family for sightseeing…
It is without a doubt the best centre to do this training. I am sure of that, and you?…

Great experienced and knowledgeable teaching staff . Perfect location ! The most realistic emergency scenarios .
Thank you , Ian and all the supporting medical staff for the experience !
Frazer Mills (verified owner) –
Over the years I have attended plenty of medical courses. I would say that Ian and his team at Trauma Training delivered the best course I have attended. The online training allows flexibility and builds your knowledge, so buy the time you arrive for the practical aspect you are more relaxed and confident in your abilities. They have gone to great effort and expense to make the practical scenarios realistic, without using silly gimmicks or being over the top. The locations excellent as well, half of my course had either brought their partners or their whole family.
I’ll definitely be back for the refresher!
Julius Vlijter (verified owner) –
I have been trained at different centers, this has been the 3rd one. This one has been the best experience I Have had in medical training. E-learning saves you valuable time and allows for revisiting whatever is required. The way class is set up with different speakers keeps you engaged and focused. This is mixed with practical cases to practise what was learned. All in all, you get a better though shorter course, for less money, in the sunshine by seasoned professionals. For that and a few more reasons, anyone needing a DMT course would be wise to come here for it! Thank you again, Ian and all the supporting medical staff for a wonderful and educational time. I’ll be back in two years for sure…
Kevin Hoelschi (verified owner) –
This was a great course, I enjoyed every minute of it. Ian has an incredible depth of experience and a trove of hilarious stories. All the RNs at the center were experienced and taught the subject well. The scenarios were really engaging and fun. Definitely would do other courses here!
Robert Ronnefalk (verified owner) –
This is the most complete course I ever attended! Ian has created it in a way that everything with it makes you a better DMT. Pure brilliance! Thanx!

Best course I’ve done for medical training, including military and civilian. Realistic and practical hands-on scenarios. Informative and engaging e-leaning. Ian and his team provide high quality training, and the administrative side is easy and helpful. Training facilities are well organised, modern and tidy. Would recommend without hesitation. Juanho, Jesus, Sara and Encarnie were amazing to learn from.

Great course, nothing better than learning from someone with real life experience. Very comfortable facilities in a beautifull location. Now I feel ready to deal with casualites. Thanks Trauma Training !
Philip Durdey (verified owner) –
I’ve been on many DMT courses at various venues, and found the course in Benalmadena with Ian Hughes much better than all the others out there. The combination of online learning beforehand and the practical sessions on site in Spain made it so much easier for me to take onboard all of the different skills and knowledge that’s needed to become a competent medic. Ian himself and his staff are passionate, knowledgeable and made learning a pleasure. All this thrown in with the fact that you can have a holiday as well due to the fantastic location made this a worthy investment. Cannot recommend enough.
Conor Hyde (verified owner) –
Great centre, bright and spacious, staff are highly qualified and passionate about teaching. Feel like I’ve learnt more and retained more information than previous courses because of the way this one is taught.
Location is a ‘no-brainer,’ tapas and drinks on the beach in the evening – wouldn’t go anywhere else to do the course
Highly recommended
Robert Way (verified owner) –
Great practical course with great staff. Ian has a wealth of knowledge and experience. I will be back for sure!

Best course I have done in 20 years. Highly recommended!
Jonathan Connor (verified owner) –
Best DMT course I have done so far, the online and in class lessons made it very time and cost effective.
It is very much a “hands on” course and that is portrayed straight away when you arrive.
Ian and his team of very knowledgeable intensive care personal provide real life stories from the vast experiences they have had and show how some things may differ in a real life scenario to the theory.
I have really enjoyed this course and I look forward to coming back.
German Usero jorda (verified owner) –
It was a really instructed course, having you a really good anderstanding about how to act in a many diferent tipe of casualties. I really recomend .
Andrew Morgan (verified owner) –
The course was conducted really well. The staff all had plenty of experience and were able to explain what seemed like a daunting amount of information from the beginning very clearly and in a concise format. This course was recommended to me and I would firmly recommend it to others.
lewiseast (verified owner) –
An excellent course. I had only heard good things from other divers choosing to do their DMT here, and it was as good as they said it would be. To have instructors with so much real world experience is invaluable. When nurses who work in intensive care units are teaching you how things are done, you listen!
Sarantis Fragkos (verified owner) –
A very good course, not too long to get boring, not to short to miss stuff out, just perfect. The bibliography that is also provided is well written and very helpful. If you are interested a bit in medicine in general is amazingly interesting. I would recommend to have finished all the E-learning before the physical attend of the course, then it is like 5 days holidays in Spain. I will definitely do my refresher’s course here.
Alexander Memey (verified owner) –
This course was simply amazing. Everything was very well organized. Instructors were very helpful and willing to answer tons of questions. E-learning is well compiled, as well as the printed DMT manual. As for me, the rating is 6 out of 5. Looking forward for the refreshing course.
A big thank you to Ian and The team.
Christopher Ramkissoon (verified owner) –
