Frequently Asked Questions

What sort of training do you offer?
We can work with businesses to cover a wide area of Training requirements, we obviously specialise in Fire Safety and First Aid/Trauma care, as well as the industrial types of courses, such as Breathing apparatus, Incident Command, Working at Height, Confined Space and many more. We value the relationships we develop with our customers and have a very close, but casual business approach, to ensure customers feel comfortable to be able to contact us at any point to ask for things they may require, knowing they’ll never be oversold or pressured into purchasing anything they don’t require.
Is the training accredited?
Some of our courses are, some aren’t, it really depends what the customer requires out of the training and what we are able to provide to a really high level of knowledge, based on skills, experience and qualifications of our instructors
What’s the minimum / maximum groups you will train?
That is dependant on the type of training required, however each course is evaluated to ensure the learning is not diluted by adopting the “stack ‘em high” attitude, it’s always better to speak individually with a member of the team to ensure the experience the learners get is the very best and matches, if not exceeds the expectations of the business
How do I know how many extinguishers I need in my premises?
That would need to be determined by a suitably qualified/experienced person – either internally or an external person. VFS have a number of staff who are qualified through BAFE as Technicians to be able to provide advice and guidance on the appropriate amount of extinguishers required and their locations.

We’ve had a good partnership with Vital Fire Solutions for a number of years, they have provided all our fire safety and first aid training for new starters.  Recently we have asked them to assist in our fire extinguisher management and the introduction of the P50s has really streamlined our fire safety management process in this area and saved a great deal of time and money.  They are a joy to work with.
