EXPERTISE
FIRST AID
I have over 15-year experience in teaching First Aid courses, I have worked with groups large and small across a number of industry sectors. Having worked in the leisure industry I have also gained a number of years of practical experience putting to good use the skills I also teach.
FIRE SAFETY/H&S
Fire Safety is in the family and I have previously been involved in events for Northumberland Fire & Rescue, this has given me a good underpinning knowledge which I apply to delivering our nationally recognised qualifications to the highest level.
LEISURE INDUSTRY
This is where it all began for me, after spending many a summer as a Lifeguard I decided to qualify as a RLSS National Pool Lifeguard Trainer/Assessor, 15-years on I now hold a number of Fitness Industry qualifications with Specialist Practitioner modules, current member of CIMSPA.
