Our flagship course
Is it possible for your staff to learn how to defend themselves in a single day? No one can learn to swim in a single day, but it is possible to teach people the essential skills to keep their heads above water. Everyday Self Defence is no different. Easy-to-learn practical skills taught using effective training methods to help you remember that work for most people most of the time. Our Level 1 Safer Staff course is ideal for companies and organisations looking to provide their staff with practical and easy to remember essential skills to protect themselves in the course of their duties, when travelling to and from work and in their everyday lives. The training is layered and increases in intensity throughout the session as the attendees become confident in their skills. No prior knowledge or experience is needed at all – the course is low impact throughout and anyone with a normal level of fitness and mobility can take part.
What you’ll learn
Our Level 1 Safer Staff course includes
How to enhance personal safety

Pre & post course online learning
This course includes access to our online training portal, where participants can:
View pre-course videos to help them prepare and get the most out of their training day. Gain access to post-course videos for 12 months so they can remind themselves of what they learn (as skill fade is a real risk on short courses) and keep their skills fresh.

FAQs
How long is the course?
Our Level 1 courses typically last between 4-5 hours and may also include pre-course video learning via our client e-learning portal. We include regular breaks and also a short break for lunch if the course runs over the lunchtime period. Our Enhanced Security Team Training course is 6 hours in duration, including a lunch break. Customised courses can vary in duration depending on the content of the course
Where does the training happen?
To maximise the working day before and after the course, our clients normally provide a suitable space in their office such as a conference room or large meeting room. We also have a network of available training spaces that we can hire if required. For our Enhanced Security Team Training Course, we prefer to deliver the course on-site to maximise the impact of environment training. If this is not possible due to operational reasons, we can source an appropriate venue.
Can anyone take part?
Anyone with a normal level of fitness and mobility can take part in our courses that have a physical training element. Our training is always progressive but low-impact.
What is the maximum number of people per course?
We recommend a group of 14-16 people for each course to ensure that training remains impactful, insightful and our instructors can offer personal feedback to each participant throughout the course. There is no upper limit to how many courses we can run.
How much are the courses?
We have a variety of pricing options depending on the course you would like to book and the number of staff you would like to be trained. Customised courses may also incur a design and development fee to ensure the training meets the needs of your staff and the situations they may face.
