Every Level 1 course uses slides. What matters is what is on them. Here is how we teach it, and why it gets better results.
Most health and safety training has the same shape. A darkened room, a deck of slides covered in writing, a trainer reading them out, and a certificate at the end that proves you were in the building.
It is easy to deliver and easy to sell. It just doesn't work very well.
A picture, then a conversation
We use slides too. The difference is what is on them. Instead of a wall of bullet points you get a photograph of a real situation, and then we talk about what is wrong with it.
That changes the room. Nobody has to read anything out, everybody can see the thing being discussed, and the conversation starts with the work you actually do: the site you're on, the jobs that worry you, the near miss you haven't told anyone about.
You still cover every learning outcome. The awarding body requirements don't move. But you cover them by arguing about a real scaffold rather than watching a bullet point fade in.
Why it produces better pass rates
People remember things they have said out loud. When you have spent ten minutes explaining to the room why a job you did last year was a bad idea, the hierarchy of control stops being a diagram and starts being something you know.
That is why the small group size is non-negotiable. Eight people can have a conversation. Twenty-four cannot.
Still got a question?
Ring Kevin. Five minutes on the phone beats an hour on Google, and he'll tell you if you don't need us.
