Kiss Training Provides Interactive and Informative Training Without all the Unnecessary Stuff

Kiss Training was established in December 2007 by Pete Haines following the unforeseen closure of the training company he was working for. Haines was able to continue to utilise his skills, qualifications and passion in health and safety, by providing training in first aid, outdoor/wilderness first aid, health and safety, fire and risk assessment.

With more than 15 years experience in providing such courses, Kiss Training specialises in providing a high standard of training throughout the UK, which is taught in a productive and enjoyable way. “Our goal is to provide a superior level of health and safety training to all our customers while avoiding unnecessary complexity and jargon within the course content,” said Haines.

Kiss Training is fully qualified to deliver HSE approved courses and its first aid courses provide clients with the skills and knowledge to safely assess situations and when necessary provide immediate first aid. Haines has also received requests to teach wilderness first aid to expedition companies in overseas in Europe, something that he cites as a “significant moment” for the company.

Although business has grown since the company’s inception, Haines still remains a sole trader with freelance trainers as and when required, who can either visit a client’s place of work or arrange off-site venues. And because not all companies work from 9am-5pm, Kiss can deliver courses to fit around various shift patterns.

The health and safety sector is constantly experiencing change, but with new updates and recommendations Haines ensures that his company is kept fully up-to-date with the recommendations and incorporates them into the training.

Haines has also witnessed a change due to economic downturn. “Training is not always the main priority and companies are only requesting training for the essential requirements,” he stated.

However plans for the future include expansion and continued growth for the business, particularly within the wilderness sector and the schools/nurseries sector, which currently accounts for approximately 20 per cent of Kiss Training’s business.
