Built for the work Doncaster actually does.
A read on the local economy, and how that shapes what we get asked to train.
Doncaster’s economy runs on logistics, advanced manufacturing, healthcare and education — from the iPort and Doncaster Sheffield Airport corridor to a deep cluster of care homes and primary academies across DN1–DN12.
That mix drives a specific training need: first-aid cover for warehouse shift teams, fire marshals for production lines, paediatric first aid and positive handling for schools and care, and IOSH for site managers. We train across all of it, on your premises, fitted to your rota.

“Tony delivered our Level 3 PMVA training across two cohorts at our Doncaster children’s home — practical, grounded in real scenarios, and our staff felt genuinely confident at the end of it. Ofsted commented on the quality of our training records at the next inspection. We’ve booked the refresher already.”
Frequently asked questions about training in Doncaster.
Plain answers to the questions HR teams, registered managers and headteachers ask before booking.
Do you deliver training on-site in Doncaster?
Yes. We deliver to your premises across Doncaster and the wider DN1 postcode area — and across the UK. There is no surcharge for on-site delivery within South Yorkshire.
What accreditations do your trainers hold?
Our trainers are RQF-accredited and NFPS-approved for physical intervention. Tony Umpleby, our founder, is a qualified teacher, ex-military Physical Training Instructor and former Home Office Personal Safety Trainer.
How quickly can you run a course?
Most courses can be delivered within 5–10 working days of confirmation. Urgent fire marshal and first aid bookings can sometimes be turned around inside a week — ask when you enquire.
Are your courses suitable for CQC and Ofsted inspections?
Yes. Our PMVA, safeguarding, first aid and medication courses are mapped to CQC fundamental standards and Ofsted’s Social Care Common Inspection Framework. We provide a full training matrix and certificates for your inspection file.
How are certificates issued?
Digital certificates are issued within five working days of course completion. Printed certificates follow by post. Replacement copies are free for the lifetime of the certificate.
Do you offer group discounts?
On-site delivery is priced per cohort, not per learner, so larger groups are typically more cost-effective. Speak to Tony directly for a Doncaster-specific quote.
