For health and safety and training leads in education
We bring passion and enthusiasm to health and safety training, getting your people involved through practical activities, lively discussion and examples from their working day. Whether you’re arranging training for staff or developing your own internal trainers, we help connect the subject with the work they do across your school, college or university.

Discuss your training needsShaped around your teams
We discuss who is attending, what they do and the situations they want to explore. These are examples we can use to plan a session with you.
Moving furniture, handling deliveries and setting up rooms can provide useful starting points for practical activities and discussion.
Access tasks, equipment and substances can help connect the subject with the decisions these teams make.
We can discuss the training needs of teaching, support and public-facing staff, then agree relevant content and examples.
Awareness training focuses on staff’s understanding and practical application. Train the Trainer develops colleagues who will deliver training themselves. Tell us which outcome you need, or ask us to help you decide.
The course, practical activities and assessment requirements affect the format. Share your approximate staff numbers and available time so we can propose suitable groups and confirm the details in your quotation.
We agree a suitable learning space and any practical area, loads or equipment with you before delivery. Tell us about access restrictions and equipment availability when we plan the session.
Yes. Share your preferred dates, staff availability and site constraints. We will discuss a workable format and confirm availability and arrangements before booking.

Email us with the training you’re considering, your school, college or university, location, approximate numbers and preferred timing. If you’re unsure which course fits, tell us what you want your team to learn.
