S&T Training Solutions, (STTS), has been set up locally as a ‘one-stop shop’ to provide a comprehensive range of statutory and other training courses.
STTS will bring into Gibraltar qualified UK trainers, and take care of the organisation behind setting up courses and the statutory training required by law and EU regulations.
STTS Director, Josephine Iorns, formed the company because in her previous role as a Human Resources Manager, she found that there was a lack of available certified courses in Gibraltar.
“Employers have a statutory responsibility to look after the health and safety of their employees and proper training by qualified professionals is needed to do this effectively”.
Josephine says “After having arranged many training courses myself, I found that there were
a number of reasons why an organisation such as mine would benefit companies in Gibraltar.”
“Because STTS is a ‘one-stop shop’, it saves clients the onerous task of locating the right course in the first place, as well as the time and costs in organising it.”
She adds, “If more courses were delivered in Gibraltar, it reduces the time that key personnel are away from their desk which is a key consideration for many small local businesses.”
STTS offers a range of Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) and Royal Society for the Promotion of Health (RSPH) accredited courses, focusing on Health & Safety and Environmental issues. Health & Safety in the Workplace – starting with a basic course aimed at anyone in a work environment, rising to the top level to Manage H&S and qualify to named “Competent” person’, as required by law.
Manual Handling course, essential for areas of construction, warehousing, deliveries etc. Three levels of Food Safety courses aimed at employees through to managers and owners of Cafes, Restaurants, Hotels. Also under Food Safety a HACCP course – Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point. Environmental regulations require training in Spill Response, essential to install an Environmental Management System or gain ISO 14001 accreditation. Health & Safety covers an extensive area and there are additional courses in the pipeline. Other courses offered by STTS are Voice Training, Technical Writing Skills and Team Building.
Courses can be delivered as an open course or corporate, and will be offered for a specific date or by request. Statutory refresher courses will also be available to revalidate the accreditation.
Josephine says “As laws and EU training legislation are ever evolving, other courses will be introduced to cover that new legislation”.
