Our Courses
Our director and founder Jim Jones, has over 30 years of first aid and health and safety experience, gained during a career of over 20 years in retail management and over 15 years as a senior officer and manager, with St John Ambulance.
Throughout his time with St John Ambulance, he gained experience in providing ambulance support services, to Gloucestershire Ambulance Service (now South Western Ambulance Service), in addition to volunteering for the organisation, as a senior volunteer, managing the provision of medical cover, at events such as Cheltenham Races, Fairford Air Show, The Cheese Roll at Coopers Hill, Gatcombe Horse Trials, and many more.
Soon after this, he became a trainer, and managed the provision of training to young people in schools and youth groups and to the community as a whole across Gloucestershire.
Following the restructure of the organisation, from a county based management model, to a regional based management model, Jim fulfilled the role of South West Regional Training and Community Project Manager, with responsibility for providing training to members of the public, community groups, young people in schools and youth groups and the volunteers and staff of St John Ambulance, across the South West.
The course covers the essentials of fire safety. This includes understanding what causes fire and what accelerates the spread of fire. It also explores how to prevent fire but what to do should a fire happen to break out.
Learners will gain a basic level of fire safety knowledge including recognising fire hazards, choosing and using the correct extinguishing media and following safe evacuation procedures.
This course is designed for all members of staff. The aim of the course is to give staff a greater understanding of the fire risks in the workplace and be able to evacuate the premises effectively.
The objective is to complete this process prior to the arrival of the emergency services, which in most cases will be between three and five minutes.
Our training aims to prevent and reduce suffering, increase the well-being, resilience and save the lives of people in the UK and across the world.
