Completing an accredited forklift training course provides the certification required to operate a forklift safely and legally.

The duration of the training depends on the course type and the experience level of the trainees. Novice courses typically last 1-5 days, while refresher or experienced operator courses may only take 1 days. Our team will advise you on the right course based on your needs.

Fire Marshal training equips employees with the knowledge and skills to act effectively in the event of a fire. The course covers fire prevention, understanding fire risks, fire extinguisher usage, evacuation procedures, and the legal responsibilities of a Fire Marshal. Practical demonstrations and scenarios are often included to enhance learning.

It’s recommended that Fire Marshals receive refresher training every 2-3 years to stay up to date with the latest safety practices, regulations, and evacuation procedures. Some workplaces may require more frequent updates depending on their risk assessments.

First Aid training is required for employees who are designated as workplace First Aiders. Employers must carry out a risk assessment to determine the number of First Aiders needed based on the size of the workforce, the type of work being done, and the workplace environment. Having trained First Aiders ensures compliance with the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations.

First Aid at Work certifications are valid for 3 years. To remain certified, individuals must complete a requalification course before their current certificate expires. Annual refresher sessions are also recommended to keep skills sharp and up to date.
