If required to deliver a fire safety course on your behalf, the course can be adapted to include specific details of the evacuation plan etc, at no extra cost.

When conducting live fire training, the maximum delegates that should attend is 15, as this complies with HSE guidelines for conducting this training.  However, prior to conducting the live fire training, a full risk assessment is undertaken to ensure the venue is suitable. Delegate numbers can be tailored and have provided seminars for the theory side of the training for larger groups of staff.

He also has a professional trainers certificate for CIEH for whom he is also an accredited trainer.  He is a member of the Institute of Fire Prevention Officers, an associate of the Institute of Fire Safety Managers and an associate of the International Institute of Risk and Safety Managers.
