After a busy January, February has flown by here at Phoenix and we are looking ahead to March already as we have a packed schedule of courses lined up for you!
We have all our usual First Aid dates planned in, as well as several other IT courses including, Excel Intermediate and Advanced, as well as PowerPoint: How to Build Better Presentations, which are great to attend if you feel you need to brush up on your computer skills this coming month
Once again, our ‘Blended Learning’ options are available to you so that you can opt to learn part of your First Aid qualification in your own time and at your own pace. These courses are specifically designed to help encourage a healthy work life balance, and as a result, we have received excellent feedback since we introduced this method of learning. We offer this on our Blended, First Aid at Work and Paediatric courses, so please do get in touch if you would like to discuss your booking options
Finally, we would like to remind you that if you would like to share any feedback on our courses, please feel free to do so – we want to hear from you so that we can improve the service we provide!

25th June 2021
It’s been a very busy month here at Phoenix, but we’ve managed to find some time to let you know about our latest courses and what we have scheduled for the rest of the year. Here’s an update from Karen to let you know what she is planning for Phoenix this year!
Our Adult Mental Health First Aid course which is running on the1st/2nd July led by Mandy at Saltaire Training and we are pleased to say that this course is now fully booked! If you are interested in attending this course, we are offering further dates on 9th/10th September. We will be posting feedback following the course so keep an eye open for this and please give me a call if you would like to discuss content.
Currently ongoing is our increasingly popular Blended First Aid at Work and Paediatric course. This is a dynamic, hands on experience with our trainer Steve Perry. We will be scheduling in several more of these courses throughout the year as customers become more familiar with the concept. This is something that will definitely be staying post-Covid.
Courses are now starting to get back to normal and we will be looking to issue a more comprehensive schedule when restrictions are lifted. One of the reasons for not issuing this immediately is that companies are taking some time to revert to releasing delegates for training, preferring to train in-house with a trainer going to site. This obviously has a knock-on effect on the running of open courses, but our trainers are keeping busy.
In the meantime, if you want to book training and we are not advertising it, give me a call to discuss your requirements. Remember, we are able to offer a full range of health & safety training, first aid, IT, forklift truck etc.
Remember to keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter updates for the latest updates, but please see below for what we have scheduled so far…

Following the success of the Adult Mental Health First Aid Course that we ran in late April in conjunction with The Saltaire Training Company, we are excited to announce that we will be hosting a series of Youth Mental Health First Aid courses to help support those working with children and young adults between the ages of 8 and 18.

Here at Phoenix, we pride ourselves on being able to provide first class training in all the courses that we run, whether it be PAT Testing or Paediatric First Aid, so we thought that we would give you an insight into the way that we teach by sharing a clip of Steve, one of our First Aid Trainers in action!
We have been working with Steve for several years and he always brings an element of fun to the way that he teaches, keeping delegates actively involved and on the ball so that they take in as much of his valuable experience and instruction as possible, and our recent feedback proves exactly that:
“The presenter was fun to learn from which made the training enjoyable and kept us on task in a humorous way. I would definitely recommend!” – Jonathon
“It was a very good course, with nice, easy steps to remember which is what you need when you are dealing with an emergency!” – Julie
“Steve was fab! He was very confident and well spoken and made the class feel at ease. Well done, great course!” – Cherie
In the current climate, we have taken every precaution when running our courses to ensure that they are as COVID safe as possible for all our attendees, as we understand that there is plenty to worry about in these uncertain times where health and safety is concerned. As you can see in the clip, we employ stringent measures when it comes to social distancing, and we even have designated work/break spaces for each delegate which are rigorously cleaned and sanitised after every use. Also, our toilet and handwashing facilities are monitored with great regularity and we sanitise each First Aid dummy after use. We take your safety into as much consideration as we can to ensure our courses keep running, but if you have any further concerns, we are always happy to discuss them over the phone prior to your booking or arrival onsite
If you think Steve could teach you a thing or two about First Aid, why not call us on 01535 681167 to book today, or visit our course directory to find out some more information?
