We’ve had a fab day at the Emergency Services Show at the NEC today 🚒🚑🚓⚡️

It was an insightful day full of learning, networking, and discovering new innovations within the sector. We got to see some interesting talks and came away with valuable knowledge that will support our own CPD and help us keep moving forward.

All in all, a really productive and enjoyable day and we’ve gotten plenty of steps in 🙌

I must admit though, no idea of the relevence to the race car, but I’m here for it! 😂🏎️

5 Star Reviews - You can trust our reviews 100%

Its difficult to get candidates attending courses to physically complete reviews. We get fabulous feedback, with many comments, like, 'I have attended loads of first aid courses over the years, but this is by far the best ever.'

However after a long, 8 hour day, taking in lots of important information, a lot of practical elements to undertake, home is calling, family and life in general needs their attention. Stopping to complete a review online is not always a priority.
(We also never badger clients to give reviews either.)

But I have received this email this week -

Hi,

We can post new and high-quality 5-star reviews on your Facebook business page at an unbeatable rate and increase your reviews count and rating.
Beat your competitors, dominate the market, dominate the local search rankings.
All reviews will be posted by real reviewers and organically on your page.
We offer flexible options — choose from 25, 50, or 100 reviews to get started.

Obviously DELETED -

You can be sure any review we have on any of our social media sites, Trustpilot etc. are 100% from our clients, it does make you wonder however how many businesses use these methods, but you can be sure we would never entertain the idea.

Have a fabulous Friday.

We have a variety of training defibs which are the same as the real versions so you can see how different units work. In public access cabinets there is not a particular AED used. It depends on the charity, business, etc., as to what AED they prefer. Or the decision may even boil down to the purchase price. Why not come along to one of our open sessions and see how they work. Have a try and therefore be more confident if you ever need to use one.

With defib use significantly increasing the chance of cardiac arrest survival, we need more members of the public feeling confident to use them.

Whilst prior knowledge can help you feel more confident in an emergency, defibs do not require any training or skills to use them. Just turn it on and follow the instructions.

If you do want to familiarise yourself, let Defib Dani show you the steps: resus.org.uk/public-resources/defibrillation/defib-dani

We have free sessions for all last Sunday of the month. 10am - 1pm

Why not pop in and have a go.

CPR saves lives, yet many UK adults have never learnt this simple skill.

If you’re one of them, why not change it this weekend? Head to lifesaver.org.uk and learn the skills to help save a life through four interactive video scenarios. It only takes an hour!

World Su***de Prevention Day – Take a Minute, Save a Life 🕊

At MJ Training, we know the power of taking action in an emergency. But not all emergencies are visible.

Today is about shining a light on mental health and reminding ourselves that sometimes, saving a life starts with a simple conversation.

💡 Did you know? In 2023, there were 6,069 suicides registered in England and Wales: the highest number since 1999. That’s an average of 16 people every day whose lives were tragically cut short, leaving families, friends, and communities deeply affected.

👉 The theme Take a Minute, Save a Life is a reminder that small moments of kindness and connection can have a massive impact:

🔹 Take a minute to check in with a colleague, friend, or loved one

🔹 Take a minute to truly listen without judgment

🔹 Take a minute to encourage reaching out for professional support

We also deliver Mental Health First Aid training, equipping people with the confidence to spot the signs, start those tough conversations, and guide someone towards help. Just like physical first aid, these skills really can save lives.

💙 Remember: you don’t need all the answers. You just need to take a minute.

We’re proud to highlight one of the Public Access Automated Defibrillators (AED) that we monitor, located at Gunton Primary School in Lowestoft.

This life-saving device can be accessed from both the school and public.

It’s just one of the many ways we’re working to keep our local community safe💙⚡

If someone nearby ever needed it in an emergency, the access code can be given by the emergency services when you call 999 📞

🔥 Why Every Workplace Needs a Fire Marshal 🔥

When it comes to workplace safety, fire marshals play a vital but often underestimated role. They are the people responsible for:

✅ Carrying out fire safety checks and inspections
✅ Leading drills and educating staff
✅ Creating and maintaining evacuation plans
✅ Investigating fire incidents to prevent recurrence
✅ Making sure organisations stay compliant with fire safety law

Having a trained fire marshal isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s about protecting lives, reducing risks, and creating a safety-first culture in the workplace.

👉 Did you know? Businesses with more than 5 employees are usually expected to have at least one appointed fire marshal or fire warden.
That’s why training is so important. Fire marshals need the right knowledge, emergency management skills, and recognised qualifications to carry out their role effectively.

We’re running our Level 2 Fire Safety Course on 25th September – perfect for anyone who needs to step into the fire marshal role or refresh their skills.

This accredited course covers:
🔥 Fire prevention & risk assessments
🔥 Emergency evacuation procedures
🔥 Fire warden/marshal responsibilities
🔥 Practical fire safety knowledge to keep your workplace safe

📅 Date: Thursday, 25th September
🕐Time : 09:30 am to 4:30pm
📍 Location: Our Training Centre (1 Commercial Rd, Lowestoft NR32 2TD)
🎓 Recognised qualification upon completion

Don’t leave safety to chance, make sure your team is fully prepared.

Contact us on 01502 56099 / 07729 696061 or email us info@mjtrainme.co.uk for more information or to secure your place today.

Yesterday at Whitton Community Hub, On the Green (Whitton Estate), we held a demonstration at 10am to show local residents how to use the brand-new public access AED and Bleed Kit.⚡️🩸

This life-saving equipment has been made possible thanks to funding from the East Suffolk Enabling Funds, via Jenny Ceresa. 🙏

It was fantastic to see people popping along to learn how they can access and use this vital equipment – because knowing what to do in an emergency could truly help save a life. 💓
