Why do our customers choose us?

Acorn Health and Safety Training BookletAcorn Health & Safety has been, and always will be, committed to supporting others in their development through participation in face to face courses, toolbox talks and e-learning.

Our course trainers all hold (or in a small number of cases are working towards) a recognised adult teaching and assessing qualification. They very much enjoy spending time in the training environment and are great communicators.

In addition, our trainers are all competent in the subject matter they teach and hold a wide variety of professional health care, health and safety, first aid and manual handling qualifications.  Most importantly they have experience, loads of it, practical hands on experience gained over years or in most cases, ‘doing’ that which they are now teaching others.

Delegates attending our courses range from those who are comfortable in a learning environment to those who’ve not set in a ‘classroom’ for many years.  We recognise this and employ a wide variety of teaching and training techniques and styles to engage, motivate and create an environment that is conducive to learning.

We are committed to providing excellent customer service prior to, during and after your course.  Our friendly team of administrators, trainers and consultants are on hand to answer any questions you might have at any time.

We recognise training needs to compliment your day to day business activities and offer flexible courses including:

We are accredited as a company by many national awarding bodies and our experienced team of specialist health and safety trainers and our professional first aid and clinical skills training team, are all individually accredited too. Click here to view details of our Accreditations and Memberships.

How do we approach health and safety training?

In-house Courses - effective health and safety training with minimal disruption for your organisation

We specialise in providing in-house training courses, delivered at your premises or other appropriate venue at a time convenient to your business causing as little disruption as possible to the schedules of your staff.

In-house training includes:

  • Our accredited courses
  • Acorn Health and Safety courses
  • Bespoke courses, designed with you and your business in mind

In most cases in-house training becomes an incredibly cost effective option if you’ve over six staff members looking to attend.  Training In-house reduces ‘down’ time, is often more convenient for staff, saves travelling elsewhere and in most cases can take into account local policies, procedures and practice.

If you are considering training please contact us, we’re always happy to discuss ideas and come up with the right training solution for you and your business.

Tailored (bespoke) Courses - cost-effective health and safety training tailored to your needs

At Acorn Health and Safety, we have developed an enviable reputation as a provider of tailored (bespoke) training designed to meet the often varied and individual needs of our customers, their staff teams and organisations.

Tailored training offers a number of benefits. It’s an extremely cost effective solution and it also meets your specific training and development needs, in addition to providing evidence of compliance with statutory duties.

Our innovative, modular approach allows you to group together a number of training and development activities over a set period of time. As each course is tailor made to the needs of your organisation, our trainers will ensure your relevant information is included, for example by making reference to local health and safety policy documentation.

These courses benefit both organisations seeking to provide initial training for staff members and are equally suited to those wishing to refresh, update or further develop their staff teams.

E-learning

We have consciously chosen a provider whose courses all have external accreditation by nationally recognised organisations, such as the FPA, LCA, ROSPA, and IATP and we like the fact that the training is presented using a blended approach.

We recognise that e-learning is a cost-effective training method and is becoming an increasingly important part of many organisations training and development activities which is why we now offer a selection of e-learning courses to complement the classroom-based learning we offer on our open courses.

E-learning can complement face to face training.  For example, a trade business may opt for a face-to-face Asbestos Training session initially and then refresh those skills in year two by using an asbestos e-learning training course.
