What does it mean to be an ATO – Approved Training Organisation?

Safety For are a recognised approved training organisation, but what does that mean? What did we have to do to get that, and how can it help you? 

It means that we have gone through a rigorous audit process to ensure that we can deliver good quality training to all our customers and potential customers. Our training courses have been scrutinised, our lessons plans checked and our credentials to deliver the courses have been verified. 

We know how important it is to business to not only complete training, but for that training to be engaging, worthwhile, with delegates coming away with a sense of learning. That’s what Safety For deliver. The right training, to the right people in a competent, engaging and friendly environment. 

Training and competency are key in good, proactive health and safety management. Those companies which regularly invest in training and up-skilling can demonstrate that they have a strong Health and Safety culture, which re-enforces good practice in the workplace. This is also proven to improve performance and loyalty of the staff, as they can feel the company’s investment into their development. 

You can be assured that when using an ATO to deliver your training, you will have the confidence that your workforce has been trained to a higher standard. This will help when demonstrating the competency of staff, and in worst case scenario’s, can be used as proof that you have fulfilled your duty as an employer when accidents and incidents happen. Businesses which don’t invest in training struggle to demonstrate that they have a competent workforce, which keeps up to date with best practice, new processes and even new schools of thought. 

As an ATO we have a range of approved courses that we can deliver to your employees, some of which you will be able to claim money back from CITB towards the cost of these courses. We at Safety For will help you claim this back and do the paperwork on your behalf. Taking the hassle and pressure off. Just another benefit of using an approved training organisation. For further advice about the training we offer, you can email Laura for a friendly chat.
