We are specialists in providing training materials and quality assurance services to enable you to teach a range of subjects to ensure workplace compliance quickly and effectively. WorkSafe can offer Train the Trainer training via our First Aid Instructor Course, Fire Safety Instructor Course and Manual Handling Instructor Course.
Whether you are an experienced trainer or new to the industry we will support you and provide you with first class instructional materials and advice to get you teaching. Potential instructors and trainers will need to hold a minimum training qualification of a Level 3 Award in Education and Training.

Instructors who wish to deliver our range of first aid training programmes will need to hold a three day First Aid at Work certificate or recognised exemption.
If you are already an experienced trainer WorkSafe can offer a course that will orientate you to our training course methodology and content as well as providing vital information on our quality control and administration procedures.
