We are delighted to be working in partnership with Services for Tourism, who run the Tourism Awards across the South West.

After numerous conversations about key issues affecting the tourism sector, we decided to collaborate on developing a solution to support local businesses and their staff.

Through this partnership, we have developed the Skills for Tourism course focusing on key areas that are affecting the tourism sector, especially those businesses hosting or running events.

This course can be delivered via Teams or face-to-face, depending on your requirements. For group bookings, we can also customise the course content to best suit your organisation.

Quote from Robin Barker from Services 4 Tourism, who run the Tourism Awards across the South West.

“With constant changes to consumer behaviour, best practice and legal requirements, the skills needs of tourism businesses and event organisers have never been greater. For businesses hosting visitors, whether large scale events or smaller groups, great customer service remains essential, but increasingly this must be coupled with managing risks and threats, safeguarding and ensuring that enjoyment is for everyone and not just for some.

We are delighted to be working with Cornwall Training, who are not only helping our own team but also offer a new option for everyone in tourism.”

What does the course cover?

- Run Hide Tell
- Hot Protocols
- Customer Service
- Communication Skills
- Professionalism
- Challenge 25
- Ask Angela
- What3Words
- Roles & Responsibilities
- Security, Medical / working with other agencies

This course can be customised to meet your requirements.

New Service Alert… Life Jacket Servicing & Supply!

As many of our team volunteer their time supporting the Coastguard, RNLI and Search and Rescue teams, we understand the importance of a good life jacket.

We’re excited to announce that we can now supply a full range of life jackets and floatation equipment from the Spinlock Brand.

We offer a range of life jackets including dog floatation jackets, children’s lifejackets, Adult and commercial SOLAS lifejackets.

We are the only approved lifejackets dealer and service agent for Spinlock lifejackets in Cornwall and we choose to work with this amazing brand due to the quality of their kit. Spares also available.

Did you know that all lifejackets should be served annually by an approved agent and have pre-user checks?

All life jackets have a 10 year maximum life span and should be replaced at this time.

Proud to be supporting St Petrocs 💛

At the start of the year, we had a conversation with a man who had been supported by St Petrocs.

Having the opportunity to hear his story and how important St Petrocs was to him really stuck with us and made us want to find a way that we could support them.

Cornwall Training & Consultancy Ltd are now proud Business Club members, we will be planning fundraising events and we’ve also got a donation bin in the office where people can donate items to support people experiencing homelessness.

There is a full list of the items they need so please send us a message if you would like a copy! We’d love for other local businesses to support if you can.

What do St Petrocs do?

St Petrocs provides the support required for people to find a route out of homelessness.

Services include advice, support and medical services at community resource centres in Truro and Penzance and around the county with an outreach team; supported accommodation housing over 166 people across Cornwall; a skills, training and employment programme to ensure that people can return to independence; and Freshfield, an in-house counselling service and telephone helpline.

St Petrocs focus on the following four areas to achieve their mission:

• Preventing homelessness
• Making homelessness an exception
• Making the experience of homelessness short
• Supporting people out of homelessness for good

As an independent charity, St Petrocs relies on the support of businesses and individual donations to carry out it’s vital work.

For more information on how you can make a difference, please visit www.stpetrocs.org.uk or call 01872 264153.

One of the best things about training?

People who have never met each other coming into a room to learn something new, having fun and meeting new people.

We all know how nerve wracking it can be walking in on the first day! New environment, new people, unsure of how the course will be…

This lovely group are heading into day 3 of their training with us after completing Phonics Awareness, Learning Styles & Basic Teaching Skills and now on their last day of Level 3 Paediatric First Aid.

They’ve laughed, been really engaged and shared so much within the sessions.

They’ve been a pleasure to teach and we’re excited to see what they do next as they head into careers within education and childcare.
