What Transafe Training does

Transafe Training is a 5-employee UK-based vocational training provider operating as a brand within the TEC Partnership, one of England's largest further and higher education groups. The company delivers accredited first aid and fire marshal training courses primarily to employers and contractors in the Humber industrial region, with strategic alignment to the CONCOM (Humber Bank Contractor Competency Forum) and its member clients including Cargill, Mitsubishi Chemicals, Greenergy, Lenzing Fibre, EP SHB, and APT. Under the executive directorship of Jamie Green (appointed October 2024), Transafe Training shares leadership and operational synergies with sister brand National Employer Training (NET), which delivers sector-specific training, pre-employment programmes, and recruitment support across Grimsby, Doncaster, and Nottingham offices plus satellite sites in Nottinghamshire.

The underlying delivery model relies on face-to-face, classroom-based, and distance learning formats with no proprietary technology platform; the TEC Partnership uses a standard Content Management System for website delivery. The product portfolio is narrow (first aid and fire marshal training) and is supplemented by NET's broader offering spanning commercial courses (food safety, HACCP, manual handling, SIA Door Supervisor, CSCS), traineeships, apprenticeships, and Skills Bootcamps. Distribution is driven by referral relationships with Jobcentre Plus, YPSS, Grimsby Institute, Franklin Sixth Form College, YMCA Humber, and Horizon Youth Zone, supplemented by employer partnerships (Vision for Education, MNX Security, Magpie Security, Leicester King Power Football Stadium, Nottingham Motorpoint Arena).

Revenue mechanics are bifurcated: government-funded training (ESF co-financing and DWP skills initiatives) covers most learner delivery at no cost to eligible individuals and SMEs under 250 employees in Greater Lincolnshire and Humber LEP areas, while commercial courses are sold at £40-£135 per qualification directly to learners or employers. NET reports a 99% qualification achievement rate, 12,000+ qualifications gained per year, and engagement with over 200 employers across Lincolnshire, South Yorkshire, East Midlands, East Riding of Yorkshire, and North Yorkshire.

Courses up to Level 2 are fully funded, free of charge for eligible learners (those aged 19+, employed by SMEs, or in receipt of benefits). Funding is accessed through ESF (European Social Fund) co-financing and government skills initiatives.
2. Commercial Training Courses: NET offers paid commercial training courses at price points ranging from £40 to £135 per course, including Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in food safety, first aid, HACCP, manual handling, health and safety, and personal licence. These are sold directly to learners or funded through employer arrangements.
3. Distance Learning: NET provides fully accredited distance learning qualifications free of charge for eligible adults (19+, meeting residency and prior qualification criteria). Revenue is generated through funding arrangements rather than direct learner payment.
