Calculating the need for some excellent training
METT is a member of the Armed Forces Covenant and actively
looks to employ ex-Forces personnel. Around 70% of the training METT off ers is fi rst aid training, another
Quality matters to the team at METT Training, because fi rst aid and health and safety compliance aren’t just about box-ticking, they’re about ensuring everyone can rest assured they’re safe and protected in the workplace. T e training company was founded by Mike
Neary, who discovered a talent for training during his 22 years’ service with the RAF Regiment. Having found that courses and their delivery varied massively in the civilian world, he took matters into his own hands and set up Managing Excellence T rough Training (METT) in 2008. Since then, Mike and his team have built a
customer base that covers the length and breadth of the UK, and a reputation for bespoke training that meets exacting standards, and that tailors courses to clients’ businesses. Mike delivers courses himself, and his wife Ann-
Marie takes care of all administration and quality assurance, and between them they oversee a team of highly experienced professionals who cover everything from fi rst aid and fi re safety through to confl ict resolution and fi rst aid for mental health. “Over the years, I had seen too many courses
that weren’t being delivered very well, or trainers that simply weren’t up to the standard I expected, and so I decided to go out on my own and set up a training company that delivered excellence,” explained Mike. “In the forces, I’d learned about leadership and
I’d learned about fi rst aid in extreme circumstances and that was the level of experience I wanted to bring to METT. I didn’t want trainers who’d learned in a classroom, I wanted people who had done CPR for real, who’d treated people fi rst hand, and knew what they were doing and what they were talking about. “All but one of our trainers have experience in
the armed forces and they’ve all dealt with real-life situations that make them excellently qualifi ed to teach others.”
12 ALL THINGS BUSINESS

businesses to assess their own needs, giving them a full report on the legal requirements for their workplace, and which can be completed without METT receiving any details. “T e idea is, of course, that people will ask us to deliver any training they need,” said Ann-Marie, “but if they want to use the calculator and
