Hello and welcome to Nutshell Training
We are a long-established training company based in Cumbria that believes passionately that workplace training must be engaging, effective and overall enhance the knowledge and skills of the people attending. After all, training costs you time and money – so you want to make sure that it’s worthwhile for all concerned. All too often training can be a tick-box exercise that ultimately may not achieve results for the individual or the organisation for which they work.
We know that training is far more effective when the needs of trainees and the environment in which they work is considered – hence ‘training in a nutshell’, concise but all you need! Why waste time covering irrelevant information?
To enhance the delivery of our training we now offer a consultancy service and are happy to carry out a free training needs analysis beforehand. Our food safety and health and safety audits are also effective in identifying areas which need special attention.
Ultimately our highly skilled and experienced team of trainers want to make the training experience enjoyable, practical, useful and worthwhile to help ensure that employers and employees are doing the best they can to ensure that their workplace remains safe, compliant and productive.
Why Choose us?
Because we are passionate about delivering effective training. Our hand-picked trainers have years of industry knowledge and experience and will always go that extra mile to ensure their training delivery works for everyone. Accomplishing training isn’t just about getting a certificate, it also helps individuals to develop their skills, knowledge and experience to enable them to do their job more effectively and gain personal satisfaction.
Our Training Courses
Fire Safety
Fire safety affects everyone. Our courses help learners build an understanding of fire safety at work and the specific roles and responsibilities related to fire safety in the workplace. Suitable for anyone but especially fire wardens and marshals.
First Aid
The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 require all employers to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if they are injured or taken ill at work. You can use the free first aid calculator to see what your organisation’s needs are and select from our broad range of courses.
Food Safety
Regulations state that all food handlers must receive appropriate training in food safety practices relevant to their duties. However, having a good understanding of food safety practices is not only a legal requirement, it is also essential in protecting the health of both consumers and food handlers.
Health & Safety
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, provision of a safe working environment is crucial. Employers are responsible for ensuring everyone is safe by identifying significant risks and putting controls in place. Health and safety knowledge is important for everyone and we have courses to suit all.
Health & Social Care
Caring for vulnerable people is complex and requires the right knowledge and experience to ensure the appropriate level of care is continually provided.
Licensing
Anyone wishing to sell or authorise the sale of alcohol must hold a ‘Personal Licence’ which is issued by their local authority. To get a personal licence you must have gained an Award for Personal Licence Holders (APLH) qualification.
Mental Health First Aid
As part of a strategic approach to wellbeing, our practical Mental Health First Aid skills and awareness training courses are key to creating a safe and healthy workplace environment, giving people the tools to tackle colleagues’ and their own mental health.
Nutrition
Good nutrition is a key part of leading a healthy lifestyle. Combined with physical exercise, a balanced diet can help towards maintaining a healthy weight and cut the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease and cancer.
