Dan Raymond — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 08:30:00 +0000

The Workplace Depot is a leading supplier of industrial and commercial workplace products, dedicated to enhancing the safety, efficiency, and productivity of various businesses.

We caught up with their Digital PR Manager Annabelle Earps to see how High Speed Training’s courses have been used to upskill their team and keep their staff safe.

How did you find out about our courses, and what made you choose High Speed Training?

We discovered High Speed Training while searching online for reliable and comprehensive training solutions. Their course offerings met our needs perfectly, providing a range of topics that were relevant to our industry and designed to fit the flexible training schedule we required.

Which courses have you and your colleagues taken with us?

Our team has completed several courses with High Speed Training, including First Aid, Fire Marshal, Mental Health Awareness, Banksman, Warehouse Safety, and Manual Handling. These courses have covered a broad spectrum of essential skills and knowledge areas for our workforce.

Were there any specific needs that you were trying to address with our courses?

We needed a convenient and effective way to train our staff that accommodated both their schedules and the operational demands of the company. The courses offered by High Speed Training provided this flexibility, allowing our employees to undertake training at times that suited them best without disrupting their work.

What was your experience of the courses?

Our experience with the courses has been very positive. The content was easy to understand, highly informative, and visually engaging. This made the learning process smooth and enjoyable for our staff, ensuring they retained the crucial information presented.

Were there any specific elements that stood out for you?

One standout feature was how the information was segmented into well-organised sections. This breakdown made it easier for learners to absorb the material in manageable chunks, enhancing comprehension and retention.

How has the training helped you and your organisation?

The training has significantly improved our organisation’s health and safety proficiency. It has raised awareness about safety practices among our employees and instilled a stronger culture of safety in the workplace, ultimately contributing to a safer and more efficient work environment.

How important do you think training is within your industry?

Training is incredibly important in our industry as it can literally save lives. Proper training ensures that employees understand how to perform their duties safely, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries, and maintaining a secure working environment for everyone.

I would highly recommend these courses to other organisations. For anyone considering this type of training, I would say that the courses are not only informative and comprehensive but also designed in a way that is easy to watch and understand. They strike the perfect balance between being thorough and engaging, making them an excellent choice for professional development.

High Speed Training Becomes an Employee Owned Trust

Dan Raymond — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 08:30:00 +0000

We are delighted to announce that we have become an Employee Owned Trust (EOT), meaning that High Speed Training is now wholly owned by our colleagues.

By embracing an employee-owned model, we hope to foster a culture of shared responsibility, collaboration, and long-term success, where each employee has a direct stake in the company’s performance and decision-making.

This follows on from the exciting news that High Speed Training has achieved B Corp certification, an accreditation from the global non-profit B Lab, which ensures that a business meets high standards of social and environmental impact, focusing on a company’s approach to its governance, customers, environment and communities.

As High Speed Training has grown over the last 15 years, we have always focused on two key values – providing first-class training for our learners and guaranteeing security and opportunity for our colleagues. By becoming an Employee Owned Trust, we are ensuring that we can stand by both of these commitments effectively and sustainably.

As a registered B Corp, we are delighted to be moving to a business model that puts people before profits, that will allow us to run our organisation for the benefit of our learners and our employees, and help to secure our long term health.

Since 2008, we have certified over 2.5million learners. They, and all of our employees, are what make High Speed Training special, and this decision solidifies our commitment to supporting and empowering each and every one of them.

Carole Urey, CEO of High Speed Training

High Speed Training is officially a B Corp!

B Corp Certification is administered by a global not-for-profit called B Lab. Since 2006, over 6,000 businesses worldwide have been B Corp certified, with over 1600 in the UK.

This means that the company meets B Lab’s high standards for social and environmental impact, showing dedication to caring for their staff, their communities, their stakeholders, and the planet.

High Speed Training has been verified by B Corp following a wide-ranging assessment of their working practices, including their approaches to staff wellbeing, impact on wider communities, customer satisfaction and environmental impacts. You can learn about High Speed Training’s Force for Good work here.

Companies are scored on 5 categories. The score needed to achieve certification is 80 points.

Governance evaluates a company’s overall mission, engagement around its social/environmental impact, ethics, and transparency.
Workers evaluates a company’s contributions to its employees’ financial security, health & safety, wellness, career development, and engagement & satisfaction.
Community evaluates a company’s engagement with and impact on the communities in which it operates, and hires from, including D&I practices and charitable giving.
Environment evaluates a company’s overall environmental management practices as well as its impact on the air, climate, water, land, and biodiversity.
Customers evaluates a company’s stewardship of its customers through the quality of its products and services, ethical marketing, data privacy and security, and feedback channels.

When assessed on these categories, High Speed Training achieved a score of 100.5, scoring particularly highly on our dedication to supporting our staff and our customers.

High Speed Training — Tue, 03 Jan 2023 09:30:00 +0000

As we enter 2023, we’re looking forward to all of the exciting plans we have coming up this year, and we hope you are too! But as the start of the new year is a time for reflection, we thought we’d look back at some of our favourite pieces of content from 2022.

We’ve rounded up a list of our top 10 resources from last year on the Hub, covering all of our specialist subjects. There’s something for everyone! Start your year off right by diving into some of our best expert content…

Favourite Resources of 2022

Business Skills

Whilst compliance and expert knowledge are important, it’s core skills that are the building blocks of a successful business. Not only do they help maintain the efficiency of your work, but they are key to helping propel your business forward, which is essential in a rapidly changing world. With a new year comes new changes and developments, and it’s in your best interest to keep up.

Here are our top two business skills articles from the past year which provide expert guidance on how to ensure your business continues to thrive in the modern day.

What is the Importance of Digital Skills in the Workplace?

With many of us still working from home, and 82% of all jobs in the UK listing digital skills as a requirement, being adept in a variety of digital skills is increasingly becoming a necessity for employability. Whilst you may think you have all the skills you need to get by, there is always room to improve your knowledge and increase your value as an employee in the modern world of work.

In this article, we define what digital skills are, provide examples, discuss why they’re vital in today’s work environment, and provide insight on how to improve your digital skills.

How to Promote Inclusive Communication in the Workplace

We all communicate in many different ways every single day; As a result, our communication has a huge impact on every aspect of our lives, and is a core skill that everyone should continuously aim to improve. Inclusive communication is essential for creating a workplace where everyone feels valued and can bring a diverse range of skills and qualities to your organisation.

We explore the importance of recognising that individuals may have different communication styles, alongside how to use inclusive language, active listening and empathy to make sure that inclusive communication is promoted in your workplace.

Education

Working in education is a highly rewarding role, however there are always new challenges to face. Being trusted with a child’s education and wellbeing is undeniably a big responsibility, and therefore it’s important to stay on top of the latest guidance and continue adapting your teaching style to meet the needs of individuals.

Luckily, we have a huge range of expert resources on every aspect of education and safeguarding children, so you have free access to a wealth of useful information for your role. Here are a couple of our recommendations from 2022.

Supporting Pupils with SEN in the Classroom: Guidance for Teachers

With an average of four children in every class who require support for special educational needs, being able to effectively support these children in the classroom is an essential part of any teacher’s job. The quality of a teacher’s support has a huge impact on the academic and social outcomes of a child with SEN, and therefore it’s important to continuously strive to improve your SEND practices.

Find our top tips for increasing your confidence in implementing effective teaching strategies and approaches for pupils with special educational needs in our article below.

How to Create a Positive Learning Environment

The area and culture in which a child learns, including their physical, social, and emotional surroundings, has a direct influence on their ability to learn. Therefore, it’s important that you’re able to provide a positive learning environment in which children are able to flourish as this can have a hugely positive impact on a child’s overall development, particularly if they don’t have access to safe and secure surroundings at home.

Interested in finding out more about what a positive learning environment is and some actionable steps you can take to improve your teaching and learning space?

Health and Safety

Noone wants to enter the New Year with concerns for their health or safety, but whatever industry you work in, an emergency could occur anywhere and at any time so it’s important to be prepared to act quickly. Additionally, knowing a few simple steps to help prevent illness or accidents can go a long way to protect your personal health and safety and ensure you’re physically able to achieve everything you want to this year.

The Hub is packed full of informative Health and Safety resources, but we’ve picked a handful to highlight here that we’d encourage you to dive into.

The 7 Steps of Hand Washing – Free Poster

Whilst infection prevention measures are important all year round, it’s particularly essential to protect yourself against infections during the winter months when our immune systems are suppressed and viruses thrive in the colder temperatures. If you have children, or work in an educational environment, this risk is increased further when schools return in January and infectious illnesses spread between families.

Though it seems like a small and insignificant protectant, knowing how to properly wash your hands, and doing so regularly, is vital in the battle against infectious illnesses. We detail the best hand washing method to help kill germs, along with a poster you can download and share, below.

Guidance on What To Do If Someone Is Choking

Knowing how to react if someone around you starts choking is a potentially life-saving skill, and therefore it’s important to have an awareness of the actions you should take in this scenario regardless of the role you work in. The significance of knowing how to react is demonstrated in our case study about one of our learners, Emily Kahn, who saved a child’s life when she noticed him choking at her workplace.

Our article details how to recognise the signs that someone may be choking, and how to respond to cases of both mild and severe choking. We also detail the variations in approach and technique you should take depending on the age of the sufferer.

Food Hygiene

Food allergens have always been a vital topic of awareness for anyone working with food, however it’s becoming increasingly discussed as new legislation, such as Natasha’s Law and Owen’s Law, continues to be fought for and introduced. Therefore, it’s more essential than ever to stay up to date with the latest food hygiene and allergens advice to protect consumers and remain compliant.

Here are our top two industry leading resources from the past year to help you test your knowledge and stay informed.

Food Hygiene 2022 Report

Interested in knowing how your town ranks for food hygiene? Our comprehensive report gathers food hygiene rating data from food establishments all across the country to find out which locations are the most, and least, safe to eat out in. Additionally, we provide in-depth information into how and why food hygiene ratings are used and why food businesses gain the ratings they do.

Food Allergy Awareness Quiz

Although it may be easy to think you know everything you need to know about food allergens, making mistakes can be life-threatening and therefore it’s a good idea to test your awareness and see if there are any gaps in your knowledge.

Our food allergens quiz helps make sure you fully understand how to ensure the food you sell is safe for everyone to eat, with clear allergen labelling that complies with Natasha’s Law. Ready to test your knowledge?

Additionally, to further check you’re doing everything you can to protect consumers, use our Food Allergen Risk Assessment & Checklist, including free templates that you can download and print.

We understand that the past few years, including 2022, have been especially busy for the Health and Social care sector, and we commend you for continuing to care in these uncertain times. Because of this, we want to continue to offer expert support wherever we can to help you develop and thrive in your role to offer the best care possible to those who are most in need.

We’ve selected our top two Health and Social Care resources to guide you in continuing to focus on the individuals you care for and being able to effectively meet their needs in the coming year.

How to Promote Empowerment in Health and Social Care

Personal relationships are essential to our wellbeing, and this is perhaps especially true for people accessing care and support. Therefore it’s important to be able to help foster these relationships as a health or social care worker so that the individuals you support are able to express themself and feel empowered despite their vulnerable situations.

You can find expert guidance on what empowerment in health and social care means, why it is important and how to empower service users, along with examples in care settings, in our article below.

What is Person-Centred Care and Why is it Important?

With ever increasing demands on caregivers meaning you’re constantly busy supporting many people, it can be easy to lose sight of the individuals behind the conditions you treat. However, to provide high quality care it’s important to meet every need beyond just those of an ailment. This is not only a more fulfilling way of providing care, but also helps to improve the environment of health or social care settings as a whole.

Learn in depth about the benefits of providing person-centred care and how to apply it in practice in our article exploring how you can maximise individuals’ quality of life.

Paediatric First Aid Training in Practice – Saving a Child’s Life

Dan Raymond — Fri, 16 Sep 2022 08:30:00 +0000

Zig Zags Play & Party Area is an indoor soft play area based in Brierley Hill. We spoke to a Party Host, Emily Khan, about her recent experience involving a child who was visiting the play area.

“Straight away, I could tell something wasn’t right. There was no coughing, he was just arched over. Everyone was asking, ‘Are you okay? Are you okay?’ then I heard someone say, ‘Is he choking?’”

When a child at the soft play centre she worked at began to choke, Emily Khan, who had recently taken our Paediatric First Aid online training course, knew exactly what to do.

Watch our video below to hear Emily’s story:

Because of High Speed Training’s course, I felt confident to take action. Because it was so fresh in my mind it helped me to jump straight into it.

Emily Khan

Online Paediatric First Aid Training

Our Paediatric First Aid training course teaches those who work with infants or children how to deliver paediatric first aid assistance in an emergency. It covers a variety of fundamental first aid topics, including the law surrounding first aid, how to put children and infants into the recovery position, how to administer life-saving CPR, how to use defibrillators, and how to provide assistance for a variety of injuries and illnesses.

If a child is choking, and can verbally respond, breathe, or cough then you should encourage them to cough to try and clear the blockage or try to spit out the object if it’s in their mouth.

If a child is severely choking, and they can’t cough the obstruction clear, you should:

Rest their upper body forward on your forearm, with one hand supporting their chest.
Then, use the heel of your other hand to give a maximum of five sharp back blows between their shoulder blades.
After each of the blows, check to see if the obstruction has been removed from their mouth. Do not put your fingers in their mouth to try and locate any blockages, as this could cause you to accidentally push the object further down their throat.

High Speed Training’s course was really easy to do, as it was online, I could do it in my own time and I could stop and pause when I needed to.

I’m a mum and I’m quite busy at home so it really helped that I could do it in my own time. Booking off a full day to go to first aid training is quite hard, and getting childcare and a day off work can be tricky.

I’d definitely recommend the course and encourage people to go for it. Even if you don’t use what you’ve learnt, at least you have it. It’s better to have those skills than to not.

It’s important for everybody to have knowledge of first aid and know how to react in situations like that.

You just never know what’s going to happen.

Emily Khan

High Speed Training was the very first training provider to be awarded the prestigious Skills for Health Quality Mark Digital, and the Paediatric First Aid training course is fully certified by the CPD and IIRSM.

Richard Anderson, Head of Content Production at High Speed Training, said: “Situations like this one really show why it is so important that everyone has some basic knowledge of first aid, especially if they are working with children or young people.

“The ability to keep a cool head and act quickly and decisively in an emergency citation is really key, and, if Emily hadn’t been able to confidently act in this instance, there could have been a very different outcome.”

High Speed Training — Mon, 16 May 2022 08:30:00 +0000

Online learning has increased in popularity over recent years, and is expected to quadruple in value from 2020 to 2027. But why has it become so popular?

In this article, we will outline the importance of online learning and discuss how the impact of the pandemic forced a mindset change towards learning and development strategies. You will also be able to download our latest report which delves deeper into the topic: Online Learning in a Post-Pandemic World.

What is the Importance of Online Learning?

Whatever your job role, industry, or expertise, e-learning has benefits for everyone. It can help you to meet safety standards, comply with regulations, or grow skillsets.

Online learning helps to overcome barriers that many learners typically face with traditional methods. While some people have viewed this form of training with scepticism in the past, it continues to grow in popularity as a fast and flexible way to gain and retain information.

Online Learning During the Pandemic

During the pandemic, online training played a vital role in supporting the upskilling of staff while traditional learning methods such as face-to-face were unable to go ahead. This resulted in a surge of companies and individuals recognising the value of online learning.

Providing greater flexibility and savings on time and money, it is clear why more and more people are continuing to turn to online learning as part of their company training culture.

Online Learning in a Post-Pandemic World

Our latest report looks at how learning & development strategies have changed and why online learning has become an integral part of many companies’ training strategies.
