Meet Sarah Leedham

Founder and Principal First Aid Trainer

Having been a schoolteacher for over 20 years I decided, in 2020, to found Pendulum Training; writing and delivering soft-skill training courses for corporate clients.

Fast-forward 4 years and clients had been asking if I delivered mandatory First Aid courses. At the time, I hadn’t even considered it. After some thought, I decided to qualify as a First Aid Trainer and took my formal theory and practical assessments.

I’ve been lucky enough to work with a variety of people in a variety of places; from large corporate clients to small groups of parents in living rooms. I’ve delivered seminars at conferences and taught online courses.

I love teaching and training people and I want to equip people with the skills to save a life, to help a friend, a colleague, or a stranger in their time of need. Please get in touch if there is something you need that you don’t see on the website and I may be able to help.

“I picked up some really beneficial first aid skills on this course. The training was very engaging and I feel a lot more confident now about helping out in a first aid situation. Sarah’s positivity and direct, no-nonsense approach was most refreshing and memorable.”

“This mental health training was very useful. It gave us useful examples and methods to support people, and made me feel much more able to help others effectively.”

K Rendle

“This ‘child and infant first aid’ session was really informative. The hands-on practice boosted our confidence in dealing with emergencies. It was a great bonding experience, and I now feel much more prepared to deal with a crisis!”
