In-house Instructors play a key role in shaping safe, confident, and skilled people. Often, they are the first to set expectations, influence behaviours, and give learners the confidence they need to succeed in safety-critical roles.

Through consistent, high-quality training, they help build stronger teams and safer workplaces. They know their people and understand what’s at stake. Their work doesn’t just support compliance – it protects lives and supports long-term success.

This award celebrates an in-house Instructor who goes beyond the training room. They inspire trust, raise standards, and make a real difference to individuals and the company as a whole.

• How does the Instructor create a learning environment where everyone feels respected, supported and able to succeed?
• How do they make sure training is always high-quality and consistent, leading to strong pass rates or good learner outcomes?
• Tell us about a time they went above and beyond – what made their approach stand out?
• How do they inspire pride in the profession and promote a positive image of the industry?
• What impact have they made to safety – whether through a specific incident, reduced risks, or long-term change?
• Share any other unique contributions, innovations, or recognitions that make them stand out.

🎯 Tip: Use real stories, specific examples, or quotes from learners or managers to bring your nomination to life.

Strong internal training teams are the backbone of safe and successful operations. They understand the unique challenges and risks their colleagues face and provide the skills and knowledge needed to meet them with confidence.

Through their hard work and dedication, they help ensure that safety is not just taught – but truly lived across the company.
