My team and I recently completed the First Aid course with Bee Safe Training, and I couldn't be more impressed. The entire course was incredibly informative, but what really stood out was how easy it was to understand. The instructor did a fantastic job breaking down complex information into clear, practical steps that made sense even if you don't have a medical background. What we appreciated most was how everything was put into real-world terms. Instead of just memorizing procedures, we learned how to actually apply them in real-life situations—whether it's helping a coworker, family member, or even a stranger. It really boosted my whole team's confidence and made us feel prepared to act in an emergency. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to gain essential first aid knowledge in a supportive and engaging environment!

Chris was lovely and friendly and helped put everyone at ease. He was approachable and very knowledgeable in First Aid. We would highly recommend Bee-Safe to other provisions in our sector.

We had a fantastic time at our First Aid training, the course was done with humour which really helped with our understanding and knowledge. Chris was professional, thorough, and engaging and was able to adapt the learning to all levels and experiences. This has been the best first aid training we've ever had and we look forward to our refresher training already!

Wakefield college would like to extend it's appreciation to Chris and the Bee safe team. This is the third year that Bee safe have been invited back to help our Public Service students of all levels. Chris delivered a thoroughly educational, engaging and inclusive session demonstrating a range of restraint and self defence techniques, and methods to manage and diffuse conflict scenarios. Students further learned laws relating to use of force, and methods of making controlled decisions in higher stressful environments. Student feedback captured after these sessions ranged from " this is really going to help with my first Conflict Management assignment" to "the best speaker you have ever invited", and finally, "this made me feel a little bit more confident and safer". We at Wakefield College would thoroughly recommend Chris and the team and will undoubtably be inviting them in the next academic year.

This is the first time we have used bee safe training and we loved it, it was the best CPR training we have ever had. Chris was amazing, he made learning so much fun and we had a great day, he made everyone feel at ease. We have some staff members that have never carried out CPR training before and he answered all questions they had. I would definitely recommend, 5 Stars!!!! We have already booked for 2025!

Chris, Bee Safe Training provided exceptional training for us at Michael Jones & Brand Vaughan. The training was clear and well communicated and was enjoyable for the group

Chris was with us for 3 days back to back doing fire marshal and first aid training. The sessions were great. There is nothing worse than having a boring trainer thinking you're going to fall asleep, but not with Chris. He was lovely, very informative, funny and hands on. Looking forward to 3 years' time when he comes back to refresh us! Highly recommended. Thank you Chris, great feedback from everyone, you were fantastic! 5 stars!

Bee Safe delivered several sessions of Practical Fire Marshal Training (including extinguisher). The training was very well executed and engaging, with valuable information shared. I received very positive feedback from all candidates and was pleasantly surprised to see the weekly inspections improve, spotting fire hazards which had previously gone unnoticed, and actions taken. I will definitely use Bee Safe again and recommend it to others.

Chris’s safety training company, Bee-Safe, offered us a 1-day Fire Marshal training course.

He made the training interactive and very relevant to our site. Chris was professional and the quality of the training delivered was excellent.

We would recommend his company’s services and will be re-running the course for other colleagues as well as looking into other courses that Chris provides

One of the best training sessions I have attended. Chris created a relaxed environment that ensured everyone engaged right from the start. The activities were insightful, building knowledge of the legal framework and policy and increasing confidence and skills in carrying out practical searches. Chris is highly skilled at explaining complex content in simple language and using relevant and fascinating stories to emphasise key points. Everyone who attended thoroughly enjoyed the day which was filled with lots of learning, much laughter and some great team building.

Are you tired of dull, lifeless CPR training sessions that leave you fighting to keep your eyes open? Look no further.

From the moment I stepped into the class, I knew this wasn’t going to be your typical snooze-fest. Our instructor, Chris, had us in stitches before we even touched the mannequins. His energy was contagious, and his jokes were as sharp as his life-saving skills.

But don’t be fooled by the laughter – this training was as informative as it was entertaining. Chris seamlessly weaved essential CPR techniques with his comedic genius, making sure every lesson stuck like glue.

By the end of the training, my team felt confident in their ability to perform CPR. If you’re looking for CPR training that’s engaging, informative, look no further.

What an absolute privilege it was, to have Chris Reavley from Bee Safe Training for our Level 3 slightly Christmas themed Uniformed Protective Services learners today! A highly engaging and informative theory lesson with interactive discussions and practical lesson on correct restraints and safety procedures which promotes the knowledge, skills and behaviour’s needed in future industry roles.  We cant wait to book you back in for our level 2 learners and staff CPD

Thank you so much

Sat in on a fantastic session delivered by Chris Reavley from Bee Safe Training to our second year Uniformed Protective Services students.

The session covered the decision making process used by protective services in high risk situations, which the students applied to various situations, and underpinning legislation.  Followed by practical use of handcuffs as well as control and restraint techniques. The perfect introduction for when I deliver Custodial Care in the new year.

In the last week of term it was the most enthusiastic and engaged I’ve seen the students in a number of weeks and a great way to sign off for 2023.

Thank you Chris, You were outstanding

Myself and my colleagues took part in an Emergency First Aid at Work course, run by Bee Safe Training. The course was run by Chris, who was so informative, he made each subject very easy to understand. We also had practical training with first aid mannequins. We were able to talk through all aspects of emergency first aid and hear others experiences, which also put things into perspective. The course wasn’t rushed, which gave us all enough time to grasp each first aid treatment. I would highly recommend Chris and Bee Safe Training First Aid courses for any company. It’s always comforting, and essential, to know that there is someone in the office who could help and make a positive difference in an emergency

I really enjoyed a Physical Intervention course what was lead by lecturer Chris. He teaches the course in easy to understand language, fun and lively. At the same time making sure that everyone has understood what was told and shown during the training.

I definitely learned a lot of comprehensive information that is necessary for my professional activity, and of course I feel much more confident after learning about various security-related techniques. Thanks again to Chris and his team!

The conflict management masterclass Bee Safe Training provided was outstanding. The knowledge, experience and skill level that Chris provided really made the learners experience a truly memorable one. Chris was happy to adapt the session to meet each learners needs, as well as each learning outcome we required from an assessment context. I couldn’t recommend Chris and Bee Safe Training any higher. 5 stars, would 100% use for any future events/training. Every one of our learners also rated this event 5 star.

After speaking with learners, they found it helpful and exciting. They specifically enjoyed the handcuffing and how you engaged them in real-life scenarios. It was perfect to see how you pushed/stretched the learners; it was clear you had a lot of industry experience and reflected that in your delivery to the learners. This was a fantastic taster session for the learners, and we will look at collaborating again later. Overall a well-planned, delivered and enjoyable sesstion. Thank you

The training we received from Chris at Bee Safe Training was excellent. His classroom session with our Criminology and Uniformed Services/Policing students in the morning was engaging and interesting. He used great examples to help students understand the various pieces of legislation. The practical session in the afternoon was great too. Students said they really felt as though they were working within the criminal justice industry when they had chance to practice using the handcuffs and conflict management techniques in order to deal with their “members of the public” in their scenarios. We look forward to welcoming Chris and Bee Safe Training back to the College each year now as part of our Conflict Management module for our students.

Chris from Bee safe training delivered an excellent experience for our Level 2 and Level 3 Uniformed Service learners at Tyne Met college. The learners received insightful knowledge, skills and behaviours regarding dealing and managing conflict. Chris was an outstanding instructor that was professional and engaged with all learners, which ultimately had an enjoyable experience. I will be looking to involve Bee safe training in the curriculum and wider college experiences

The medical emergency training within our dental practice was delivered by Chris in a way that was easy to understand and to take in the information given.  It was fun, informative and well led.  We will definitely use Bee-Safe again for our medical emergency training and have already booked our first aid course with them.

Chris was an absolute pleasure to have in college.  The students were initially quiet but soon came alive as Chris put them though their paces.  Great to see how this group of students grew in confidence over the session and how much they enjoyed it.  They asked if we could include this in their regular timetable which means a huge success all round.  Chris was able to take control of the group, came prepared and took charge of the group, there really wasn’t much left for me to do. So happy that we have re booked him for several future events

The session was very well structured which began with a background to the decision-making process that officers have to make on a regular basis. You involved the students by providing scenarios and good questioning techniques. The practical element of the course was excellent which looked at defensive and de-escalation tactics and then control and restraint techniques including hand cuffing. The students thoroughly enjoyed the session, they commented on how friendly and approachable your style of delivery was and they were fully engaged throughout the whole of the programme. The content linked really well with the unit that the students are currently studying namely ‘custodial care’.  Overall, an excellent session and we would love to have you back again during the next academic year

For the Year 12s that was the first enrichment experience they have had this year and loved it.

The presentation was engaging with real examples used and thinking points allowing students to discuss ideas and answers with each other.

For the Year 13s the fact that you changed your whole presentation and approach was great to accommodate for them already having a session last year. The tasks using teams of 4 was engaging and the demonstrations before supported students.

The students were absolutely raving about the experience It was such a good opportunity for them.

I really enjoyed the pace of the presentation – it was really engaging. The real-life scenario before and involving the students into this was useful and really got them thinking.

The activities afterwards were also excellent – really engaging and beneficial. The experience depicted real life and that is what they enjoyed.

Chris has delivered Physical Intervention training for the past 6 months at SECO. Our company offer bespoke packages of care for vulnerable people and Chris has never failed to provide a 5-star service every time he has delivered. Chris is a very organised trainer who is very thorough when it comes to research to enhance his training. He always takes the time to understand the needs of the people we support to ensure he adapts the course content to suit.

Chris’ natural delivery and calm approach encourages group interaction and participation throughout the training days. Our support workers speak highly of the training offered and always leave the 2 days feeling confident and prepared to start their new roles. Chris’ knowledge is outstanding and as a new trainer myself it has been amazing to work alongside him to enhance my own learning and develop my skills. As a result of the training that Chris has delivered, we have seen a huge decrease in incidents within our services due to the de-escalation techniques he teaches. He is making amazing, positive changes to the lives of children and young people we support.  As a company and professional team, we cannot recommend his bespoke training packages enough. We have been that impressed with Chris that we have booked him in for the duration of the year and are excited to continue to work with him.

We had Chris at Bee safe recommended to us for our First Aid Training, and it proved a great recommendation.

Chris delivered a concise First Aid Training course which covered all areas.  He made everyone feel at ease, and never once pressurised people or made them feel uncomfortable.

On top of this, the course was very reasonably priced, compared against some of the quotes we received.

I can honestly say if you’re looking for a company to provide first aid training, you won’t go wrong with Bee Safe.

The training received by Bee Safe Training was above and beyond all expectations.
The instructors were well organised and oozed experience. They were able to communicate effectively and engaged with everyone on the course (some 40+ learners).

The team are encouraging and create an environment where all feel able and willing to participate, seeing some of the most introvert of students coming out for their shells and growing in confidence.
The session was delivered in a safe and controlled manner and learners were able to develop and progress their knowledge and skills incrementally.

The theory session was made relevant for the audience and delivered with humour which then flowed into the practical session. All the practical activities were anchored to the theory which gave the learners a deeper understanding of why the various legal frameworks exist and the limitations and expectations of our public services who are expected to use the techniques taught.

Overall, we had a well prepared and professionally delivered day of training with Bee Safe where our learners were able to practice some of the control & restraint techniques used by our public services and understand the legal framework which exists for their use.

I would recommend without reservation or hesitation Chris and his team at Bee Safe as they added a dimension to my programme that would not have the same effect if delivered internally.
