Premier has expanded its bespoke armed forces resettlement packages at its training venue in the National Badminton Centre, Milton Keynes; aimed at delivering health and fitness qualifications to service leavers. Available from September, the comprehensive packages include course tuition and exam fees, all course material, on-site accommodation and food, as well as career guidance and support. 

Having trained in excess of 2000 service personnel and with a dedicated Armed Forces Education Career Advisor and resettlement department, Premier Training International is offering service leavers a choice of qualifications, ranging from the Level 2 Certificate in Gym Instruction through to the Internationally recognised Diploma in Advanced Personal Training and Certificate in Sports Massage Therapy. A range of additional CPD courses for fitness and sports professionals are also available. 

Regional Manager for Premier Training International, Darren Slater said: "We’re delighted to be launching dedicated military resettlement packages at our Milton Keynes venue and have already had a lot of interest in the various courses. Premier Training is a preferred supplier to the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) and Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) funding scheme. We are experienced at dealing with the service leavers requirements and our resettlement packages are extremely popular with the majority of our students coming via referrals from previous graduates. 

As the training is delivered from a commercial health club, it helps to make the service leaver’s transition to working in this environment much easier; so whatever their career ambition, they can go on and build a successful career in the health and fitness industry."

Nuco Training is the UK’s leading independent company in first aid training – a specialist in ‘training the trainer’, delivering high-quality, industry-standard First Aid Instructor and Defibrillation Instructor courses throughout the UK. 

First aid in the workplace continues to be an important responsibility for businesses, and is a legal requirement for most UK companies and organisations. This means that there is a continuing strong demand for HSE (Health & Safety Executive) first aid instructors and training professionals throughout UK commerce and industry, with consequent opportunities for employment as an instructor for the Service leaver. 

 

If you are interested in becoming a part of this fast-developing industry, then Nuco’s five-day First Aid Instructor course is recommended as a recognised level 3 qualification – including PTLLS (Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector). This means that, in addition to obtaining the stand-alone PTLLS Professional Training Qualification, the newly qualified trainer would also be equipped to teach the full range of HSE-approved first aid courses. 

 

 

Nuco Training is now in its tenth year as a CTP Preferred Supplier – helping and assisting those military personnel who are in the process of resettlement and making that all important transition from a military to a civilian working environment.

We have all seen rises in stress levels at work for one reason or another; you could be facing the threat of redundancy or issues with another member of staff. However, employers are now starting to solve these problems by providing staff with counselling sessions – and the effects are amazing. 

 

Members of staff recently took the time to complete a survey regarding employee assistance programmes (EAPs). The results were very encouraging with 52% of employees suggesting that, had they not received counselling, they would have had to take time off work. 

 

The findings did not stop there. Many employees went on to say that the counselling sessions had a positive effect on both their personal lives and their relationships with their colleagues. 

 

Andrea Waller, an industry expert, explains that there is a need for counselling to help maintain a healthy workforce: ‘All the wider evidence shows that mental health issues are on the rise. Anxiety and depression can have a serious effect on all areas of a person’s life, including their work.’

 

The results also showed a significant rise in employee satisfaction with their personal lives. Prior to counselling sessions, only 9% stated they were satisfied, but after counselling this figure rose to a staggering 57%. 

You could use your own life experience to count towards training to be a counsellor, and start to help people who are in need. Chrysalis is the UK’s largest therapy trainer and registered ELCAS training provider, and will be able to help you start your journey to a new career today.
