Introduction
The Kent Safety Training team has over 24 years of experience in training and as front line members of the emergency services. Carl Davies is the lead trainer within the company and is qualified to instruct in all the courses available as well as being a qualified assessor.
Kent Safety Training uses a number of freelance trainers and assessors, when required which are all very strictly vetted, to ensure that our high standards are upheld.
Flexibility
As a modern and flexible company we understand that it is not always desirable to have members of staff away from the workplace for days at a time attending courses, which is why, whenever possible we will come to you and fit our training around your work schedule.
By doing this we are able to provide cost effective training, ensuring that the price you pay is in direct comparison to the training you receive and not paying for a sited office and lecture room.
Venue
If you are unable to host your staff training, then we have a selection of local venues to accommodate this need which can be hired at very reasonable rates, please contact us for details.
Course Content
All of our material is original and written by us, meaning that if you require an ad-hoc training session or a couple of hour’s refresher training on the basics, we can meet that need and build a training session to your requirements.
If you’re not sure what you need, drop us a line or give us a quick ring and we will be only too happy to offer our advice or arrange a consultation in what can be a minefield of legislation.
Pricing
We have an upfront and honest pricing structure which allows you to see our prices before you book; there are no hidden fees, and no booking fees.
Many of our courses are price capped, meaning that once a minimum of 5 students have booked, there is no further charge up to a maximum of 10 staff.
Feedback
We use an anonymous feedback system at the end of each course, allowing us to evaluate our training sessions and to receive honest feedback from your staff, giving you peace of mind that we always strive to provide quality training.
