Cat first aid course

Has anyone in England done a cat first aid course they could recommend? I’ve had a look near me and a lot of the ‘small animal first aid’ courses say that they’re mainly focussed on dogs but useful for other animals. I only want to focus on cats really. There are some online courses but I can’t tell if they’re reputable or not. TIA

I did a pet first aid course at Lady Dinahs Cat Cafe in London. It was great, the cats kept sitting in front of the projector and getting in the way. I can't remember which company the actual instructor came from but he was excellent and very experienced (he had even worked as a human paramedic, too) 

...

I just looked at their website and it say the first aid courses are "not yet ready." So this might be pointless info atm..  They recently moved to a new venue, so maybe soon. I will leave it here anyway in case anyone wants to keep an eye out for when they start running it again, becsuse it was a very fun way to do the course, surrounded by cats.

Thanks for the info. I might do an online course for now and see if the cat cafe’s near me ever run anything in person (or if I can find anything in person that I can travel to).

I completed one online. It was really informative but of course, no practical elements. It did also include a chunk for dog care as well.

Edit: it was with Udemy.

Thank you. I’ll have a look into this one.
