It has been a busy few weeks for us here at Key Performance Training.

We’ve been out and about again in our local community meeting people who are looking for their next opportunity into meaningful employment.

We started at our local jobs fair at the Swindon County Ground on Wednesday 30th April, where we met lots of people looking to retrain and reskill to find job opportunities.  With access to Government funded training schemes in Warehousing and Forklift operations, we are uniquely placed in Swindon to offer this to those who are out of work or on low incomes.

On Thursday 8th May, we also attended the Seetec Pluss Spring Hire Festival where we met lots of eager candidates looking for work. We were delighted to meet Shadow Minister of Department for Work and Pension (DWP) MP Danny Kruger and were able to talk to him about what we do and how we help Seetec Pluss participants find their pathway to employment.

We’ll continue to support local people who are looking for work to find the right skills and the right contacts, and if you’re a local business looking for skilled warehouse and forklift operators, we would be delighted to make an introduction to one of our newly trained delegates.

With the Mental Health Awareness week starting next week, we’re supporting our friends at the UK Mental Health Foundation.

Our next Mental Health course is running as an open course on Friday 23rd May, so there is no better time to book this training for your staff, so they are knowledgeable about mental health conditions and know how to support those around them deal with mental health struggles.

This course is a Level 2 Regulated one-day course and will enable your staff to act as Mental Health First Aiders in the Workplace.  We’re donating 10% of our bookings to the Mental Health Foundation, and we’re also giving everyone who attends a FREE Mental Health First Aider badge, to wear with pride.

At just £114.99 plus VAT per person, it’s fantastic value as well.

For the full course information, please see here.

Our Ofqual accredited course has limited spaces, so please contact us as soon as possible to secure your place – office@keyperformancetraining.co.uk or 01793 975353.

We have now released our open course dates for the next few months, and we’re delighted to share these with you.

These are ideal if you only have a small number of people who need training, or if you’re booking for just yourself.

These will be running in our training centre in Swindon.

We’re especially pleased to be supporting the UK Mental Health Foundation again this year, especially with their Mental Health Awareness Week (12-18 May). 

We’re doing this by running our Mental Health First Aid course in May as a fundraising event.

This challenging yet extremely rewarding course will enable you to become a Mental Health First Aider in the workplace, and anyone who attends will get a free “Green Ribbon” badge and we’ll donate 15% of all course bookings to them.

To always see our latest dates, please visit our website.

Hopefully these open courses will give you a cost-effect option to meet your HSE regulations.

New Personal Protection Training now available

We are excited to announce that we have launched our new Personal Protection Training course.

This course is designed to teach you the practical skills combined with the correct psychological attitude, strategies and appropriate knowledge of the law to give you the confidence to act in the face of a violent situation. 

We will teach you how to avoid them and give you the confidence through proven techniques to act if the situation demands it.

With a steady rise of violent against women and girls, there is a pressing need to ensure all women have the skills to help them deal with the violence that they are experiencing.  This course will do just that and is suitable for anyone over the age of 13 years old.

If you’re thinking of booking this course for your staff, then we would also recommend our Emergency First Aid at Work course too.    This will give your staff the skills they need to deal with the potential aftermath of a violent incident in the workplace.  For more information on this course, please click here.

We hope this new course not only improves the safety of women and girls but also helps employers invest in the CPD of their staff.
