Eric was asked to come on site to deliver a JOIFF Accredited Confined Spaces, Train the Trainer course.

The course was run over three days.

The course content was excellent and the presentation of the course syllabus was very relaxed whilst being very informative. Eric’s approach to the training was very professional and he used a great deal of visual aids, Power Points, films and pictures to demonstrate the relevant points of the course technical input. As part of this course there was also a practical session, again Eric gave very clear, guidance and instruction as to what was expected from the practical session and what he expected to see and what the learning outcomes should be for the personnel attending the course.

Eric explained in great detail the workings of the Drager escape sets which were brought onto the site for the training course. How to don the equipment and the need to pre-check the equipment before use and how this should be carried out. The three day training session culminated in a practical confined spaces entry exercise into one of the onsite vessels, made available for the training days and a written exam.

In conclusion Eric’s training was excellent in every way, his presentation skills got the point over in a clear and concise manner interlaced with a sharp wit and great sense of humour which all on the course enjoyed and made the course very enjoyable for all; this was born out in conversations I had with employees whom had been on the course. I would Recommend ARC Fire Training Services Ltd and the skills of Eric Dempsey, to anyone wishing to have training conducted for them.
