Zoom Training at Phoenix
8th April 2021
Throughout lockdown, we have all had to change our lives and ways of working to adapt to the ever changing situation, and here at Phoenix, we have done exactly the same with the way that we teach, in order to fit around you and the way that you now need to learn.
In March, we offered our first flexible learning option, which allows delegates to complete online and classroom based training, but alongside that, we started to offer our courses via Zoom, and what a response we have had!
Each week, Karen and her trainers have delivered several courses across a wide range of topics, which include IT, First Aid and Health and Safety to more delegates than we have been able to access before across the entire country, which is very exciting for Phoenix as we are branching out father and wider than ever! If you would like to find out more and read some of our outstanding reviews, read on and we will try to answer a few questions for you!
What Courses Are On Offer?
At present, we are currently offering a range of IT, Health and Safety and First Aid Courses, but upon request, we are able to run additional courses in IOSH Managing Safely and Manual Handling to name but a few. For a comprehensive list of the courses that we offer, please see below:
IT Training:
- MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, Access – at Basic/Intermediate/Advanced level
- How to Hold a Zoom Conference
- MS Project: Basic, Intermediate
We Can Also Offer:
- Manual Handling
- Working at Height
- Power Press Safety Refresher
- IOSH Working Safely
- IOSH Managing Safely
- Blended Learning Options for Various First Aid courses
What Availability Do You Have?
At present, due to the current situation that we have all found ourselves in, we are running our Zoom Courses around our delegates and their availability, finding a date and time that suits both our trainer and our client. The courses that we have run previously, have combined delegates from several companies, all with different job titles and each and every one has felt that they have had a positive experience after learning with us over Zoom
What Can I Expect from My Zoom Course?
We completely appreciate that Zoom learning is a brand new experience for some of our delegates, and we aim to offer a wholly inclusive experience for all course attendees, so no one feels like they cannot ask a question or reach out for help when needed. We take things at a pace to suit everyone and enjoy answering all your questions and explaining further when required.
What Do Your Delegates Have to Say?
Since offering these courses, we have been completely overwhelmed by the feedback we have got from our delegates! If you need any further convincing on why to choose Phoenix, have a read of these – we were thrilled to hear how much we have helped!
“I just wanted to thank you for a great session on Friday afternoon, and your follow up is absolutely brilliant – your patience with the questions that were raised was very good. Thank you so much – I have moved farther than I expected with these three Zoom modules”
” Even as an experienced lecturer, I really believe that the training you offer – particularly the ‘PowerPoint ‘ modules, should be a prerequisite for those of us privileged to speak on cruise ships. Your trainer, Karen is excellent and has taught me so much”
“As a Health and Safety bod I try not to subscribe to stereotypes, however from my experience you appear to have a rare gift of not only knowing IT inside out, but being able to pass knowledge on in a very clear and personable manner!”
If all of the above has helped you understand how we can help you via one of our Zoom Training Courses, then why not get in touch today to make a booking or find out more information? Contact Karen on 01535 681167 or email karenn@phoenixservicesolutions.co.uk
First Aid Training at Phoenix
11th February 2021
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?
