Graham Bell of BBC's High Altitude said

"When you are filming on a glacier in Patagonia 3 hours walk from the nearest refuge and a further 6 hours drive from the nearest hospital, even a relatively minor medical emergency can turn potentially life threatening.  The Prometheus Medical course teaches first aid for those situations when you can't just dial 999 and expect help to be minutes away.  By throwing you in at the deep end with all too real looking scenarios, the procedures you learn, covering a whole range of casualties, really stick in the memory."

"First class course which I will take with me for the rest of my life.  The moulages were so realistic and the focus on hands on practical experience was excellent.  A real life changing 2 days". (Student - Surviving Adventure Course 11 Dec 2008)

"The teachers were great and the moulages were excellent - scarily convincing.  I definitely have come away with a better idea of what to do and less fear about finding myself in a situation where someone needs help". (Student - Surviving Adventure Course 29 - 30 Mar 08)

"Superb experience from start to finish.  Amazing insights - lots of practical hands on.  A real survival kit in itself!" (Student - Surviving Adventure 29 - 30 Mar 08)

The Independent Newspaper said

"Surviving Adventure is based around a series of "moulages" - scenarios where instructors take the part of victims, complete with convincing props, vocal performances and buckets and buckets of artificial blood. There's little warning about when casualties might appear or what injuries to expect, although rest assured you'll get plenty of opportunities to apply dressings, take pulses and even use some more esoteric bits of medical equipment."

Nick Farnhill - The Mongol Derby said

"Recommended by The Adventurists team and developed by 'elite medical professionals', it seemed a wise course to sign up for considering I know little more than putting on a water proof plaster and opening a paracetamol bottle. Not now though - I can add major head trauma's, first degree burns, compound and skin-breaking bone fractures, punctured lungs and general life support to my now extensive medical CV."

The Mongol Derby - On 22 August in the year 2009 twenty-five courageous riders will mount their steeds amidst the ruins of the Great Khan's ancient capital Kharkhorin, to face a gruelling 1000 km race across the empty wilderness of Mongolia. This will be no ordinary horse race. The Mongol Derby is not a test of the horse's speed, but the rider's skill, endurance and the toughness of the skin between their legs. And by Jove will it put that to the test...Find out more about The Mongol Derby and The Adventurists at http://mongolderby.theadventurists.com/index.php?page=overview

Referring to the training received on Surviving Adventure March 2010, and putting that training into action following a road traffic accident on the Latvia/Russia border during their round the world expedition - "The mental impact of the accident hit home as we set up camp in our car park for the night. I could see the complete shock and fear on all of our faces. I personally was so proud of Steve, Ross, George and Ben. We all pulled together as a team in a moment of crisis and performed professionally. ... And to Dr Malcolm Russell and the Prometheus team in Hereford, a huge thank you. Your time, training, equipment and ability was vital to us."  To read more about their experiences and about their trip click here.
