ABOUT US
S&S Training solutions
Has been created to provide affordable and quality training either for single people, groups or to suit your business needs. With a combined 70 years of first aid and training experience between them, Stu Gray and Stu Hall have a passion to promote and share their theoretical and real life experiences with others to create a safer home, work and even community environment by giving their candidates the skills and confidence to deal with first aid and potentially lifesaving situations. The courses Stu & Stu deliver are First Aid Awards (F.A.A) and Ofqual approved and use a mix of learning styles. The course providers continually update their content to stay in line with current and new techniques recommended by the UK Resus Council. They ensure that learners are given constantly relevant information which meets health and safety standards.
THE TEAM
We are committed to maintaining our subject knowledge through regular updates and professional memberships such as UKRC. In the future, we plan to expand the current courses we are offering by adding mental health first aid, health and safety and safeguarding.
We have friends and family who already have training or teaching backgrounds waiting to join S&S training, helping us to move forward by bringing new skills and experiences to the team.
