Having chosen to train our team with Blue Guard ME since they first opened their doors, we have never looked back! Blue Guard ME have a unique understanding of the lifeguard industry and; as such, their training programmes have formed and intricate and essential part of multiple contract mobilisations we have completed across the UAE.
They have trained close to 200 lifeguards on our behalf, the majority of which were fresher’s to the industry and have now developed into competent and confident lifesavers.
Blue Guard ME are also our chosen partner to accompany us on our recruitment drives and have managed multiple technical assessments on our behalf. To date, they have travelled with our recruitment teams to India, Nepal , Uganda and Sri Lanka and ensured the technical capabilities of all selected candidates meet the demands of both our clients expectations as well as industry regulatory requirements.
Recruitment and training individuals from multiple regions and different nationalities presents its own communication challenges. Blue Guard has a diverse team with multiple language capabilities, which has undoubtedly assisted us with this challenge. Their ability to provide assessments and training to a diverse audience has paid dividends in ensuring we have built an excellent multicultural and focussed team.
Moreover, working with Luke and his team, we have established refresher training programmes across our lifeguards. This ensures the teams remain current, have the knowledge and skill set to complete their roles effectively and that we meet and exceed our client KPIs/SLAs. This programme has also afforded us the opportunity to allow us to identify our ‘shining stars’ who can be considered for progression within our organisation.
Thank you Blue Guard! Your dedication, flexibility and service delivery is excellent and greatly appreciated. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you being on-board as our training partner!
“Blueguard have been doing our Basic Life Support Training for the past 3 years and in 2020, I happened to attend for the first time. The sessions are interactive and engaging. The instructor is clear and precise. Dan gave us the latest information with regards to The COVID 19 pandemic. We are now better equipped with the knowledge and skills to handle first aid administration. Thank you Blue Guard!”
“Working with Blue Guard has always been a pleasure. They train all our lifeguards and we are very happy with their services – our staff always enjoy their sessions!
We definitely recommend getting in touch with them!”
“It has been 2 years since we started our Pool & Beach Lifeguard training with Blue Guard Middle East.They are very professional and informative. The methods and contents taught are extremely in-line with UK standards set by Highfield International.
The whole team is excellent; Mr. Luke Cunningham & Kim Beasley are fantastic!! Mr. Dan Dexter Pamplona is kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone was having fun while learning how to be the best lifeguard possible.
The Blue Guard Academy has filled a niche in the market and can be proud of all their company has achieved. Thanks for the amazing experience!
I will recommend Blue Guard ME to anyone looking to take their life-saving/teaching skills to the next level!”
“Keith and Blue Guard team recently provided Basic Life Support Training for some of our staff. The training was not only invaluable but to a high and professional standard. We will definitely be working together again for First Aid Training. I feel confident in recommending Blue Guard training services. The team is not only thorough but also easy to work with and always willing to take the time to discuss any concerns and respond to questions quickly. We highly recommend the team.”
