The BFPA is confident that this additional training will provide both companies and individuals the opportunity to work towards legislation compliance through our easy to use, interactive and engaging video-based courses that can take as little as 20 minutes to complete. There are 78 courses available to choose from covering a diverse range of topics from General Workshop Safety, First Aid Refresher and Lone Working to Mental Health Awareness, Effective Remote Working and GDPR. To keep things simple the BFPA have taken all the hard work out of applying for these courses. Once you have chosen and paid for your training we will upload all your details and send out the online links to participants and keep track of who has completed which courses for you. On completion of each course participants will receive a BFPA online certificate of achievement. The cost is £25.00+VAT per person per course for non-members and a heavily subsidised price of £12.50 + VAT per person per course for BFPA members. If this all sounds interesting contact Karen Gordon-Brander on karen@bfpa.co.uk and she will send you a trial link so you can choose a demo course to complete and get a flavour of the quality and straightforwardness of the training presentation.

The BFPA recommends that our Hose Assembly Skills training course be refreshed every three years to ensure employees are kept up to date with their knowledge and understanding of hose assembly and can continue to demonstrate correct, safe working procedures in their practical skills. In order to offer a range of options the BFPA Hose Assembly Skills Refresher training course can now be undertaken by all those who need to renew their certificate, either online or at their company’s facility. Our first online Refresher course will take place on the 8th September.
