Corporate with Face to Face Sessions

This is our preferred and most sought after format.  A typical program will involve a minimum of 6 days face-to-face training over 4-5 months (e.g.) 2 days a month for 3 months. The program can be tailored for the level experience of the candidates and the site requirements.  The program includes:

  • Class discussions and sharing learnings
  • Class activities, videos and team exercises
  • Workplace inspection
  • Time to work on assessments and ask the trainer for assistance and further information directly
  • Use of your company’s forms and procedures wherever possible (e.g. workplace inspection, JHA, Risk Assessment, pre-start etc.

This allows plenty of learning opportunities with our very experienced trainer but also time to practice and apply the skills back in the workplace between classes.  The final day is for the candidates to present their improvement projects that have been selected by the candidates and endorsed by the company on real aspects at their workplace that can be improved (e.g. safety innovation, new procedure etc.)
