Delivery of Training for Microsoft Office and Health and Safety Courses

Following recent staff reviews and a decision to move to MS Office 2016 it has been identified that there is a particular need to provide training to improve IT skills and Health and Safety awareness.

To this end this tender has been produced, and consists of two lots: 1.

Microsoft Office Training 2.

Health & Safety Training The Requirement LOT 1 - MS Office Training Over the coming months the Royal Berkshire Fire Authority is upgrading the version of Microsoft Office it uses from 2007 to 2016.

To ensure that staff are able to use the latest version effectively and efficiently the Authority will offer a 1 day transition course.

In addition a number of staff have identified, as part of their Continuing Professional Development (CPD), the requirement to undertake further training in specific aspects of MS Office.

As a result of these requirements the Authority is seeking to acquire a training provider to deliver a range of MS Office 2016 training courses.

LOT 2 - Health & Safety Training The Authority takes seriously its commitment to health and safety.

Given the nature of the work undertaken by fire fighters and the important role of its support staff in engendering a culture and ethos that supports this commitment good training is seen as being key to our success in delivering a world class service.

To this end the Royal Berkshire Fire Authority is seeking to acquire a training provider to deliver a range of Health & Safety training courses that supports its aims and objectives.
