Hi Shane,
Straight up — this is outreach. I came across Safe Haven Training while looking at first aid and health & safety providers operating at real scale across the UK, and what you've built stood out.
I put this page together so you can see what we actually looked at, rather than just asking you to take my word for it.
That's a serious operation. HSE-accredited first aid and health & safety training delivered at scale across the whole of the UK, with a network of venues that means you can reach delegates pretty much anywhere. Most training providers top out at a handful of locations. You've built something quite different.
The complexity underneath that — course scheduling across 80+ sites, trainer allocation, delegate management, certificate tracking, compliance records — is substantial. The question is how much of that's running on purpose-built infrastructure versus manual processes and spreadsheets.
From looking at your setup publicly, there's no evident unified booking system, delegate portal or automated certificate workflow. At 40,000+ delegates a year across that many venues, the admin load behind the scenes must be significant.
In similar operations, what we typically see is: bookings coming in through multiple channels and being manually reconciled, delegate records spread across spreadsheets or basic CRM tools, certificates issued by hand and chased when lost, trainer availability managed informally, and no clean way to report on attendance, pass rates or revenue by venue.
That's manageable at small scale. At yours, it's probably a full-time job just keeping it together — and the friction only grows as you add venues or courses.
Getting to 40,000+ delegates a year is the hard part. The routes to market, the accreditation, the trainer network — you've figured all of that out. A purpose-built training management platform would let you serve that volume without the admin overhead scaling proportionally with it. More delegates, same back-office effort.
HSE-accredited training carries compliance obligations. At 40,000+ delegates, knowing who holds a valid certificate, when it expires and whether renewal reminders have gone out is a real operational challenge if it's being tracked manually. One audit or one delegate who can't prove their certification is current can create disproportionate problems.
We're Identify Digital — a web development agency based in Wakefield. We build bespoke training management platforms for providers who've outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools. We've built systems for multi-location training businesses handling delegate booking, trainer scheduling, certificate generation and Xero integration. We don't do templates — we build to fit how your business actually operates.
If any of this resonates, the easiest next step is a half-day Training Systems Audit — we come to you, understand how the operation currently runs, and produce a clear picture of what a purpose-built platform would look like. £1,500+VAT, credited in full if you go ahead with a build.
