Helping you to feel safer & confident in your place of work.

‘Very interactive session, with lots of helpful information throughout. The trainer was excellent — very clear in explanations, patient, and engaging. They created a great learning environment where questions were encouraged, and practical examples really helped to understand the topics better. Overall, a great trainer who made the course both informative and enjoyable. I left the session feeling much more confident in applying what I learned.’

‘I recently attended the Breakaway Disengagement Training with IKON as part of the Affiliate Trainer course, and it was such a positive experience. The trainers, James and Trevor, were absolutely brilliant — they covered every detail of the course so clearly, while creating space for group discussions and the sharing of real-life experiences. It really refreshed my knowledge and gave me a big confidence boost to continue training our amazing team at Lexrae Support. I’d highly recommend this training to anyone in a similar role.’

I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their ability to prevent and respond to aggression in a professional setting.’

‘A great course that’s helped my confidence. Thank you, a wonderfully engaging course. Will be sending my engineers soon with confidence that they will learn a lot from it.’

‘Feedback following the recent de-escalation: We had a couple of unpleasant incidents take place in Oxford Street over the weekend and the way the team dealt with it at the moment was honestly faultless! There was no confusion or lack of confidence, a supervisor approached the challenging individuals and calmly asked them to leave the store, afterwards the whole team checked in with each other and it didn’t impact the day whatsoever.’

‘Merseyrail have been working for IKON for over ten years. IKON have developed programmes around conflict resolution and Travelsafe. Their delivery methods, adaptability, professionalism and knowledge in this area has allowed us to achieve our lowest passenger accident rate ever.’

‘The trainer was excellent. I have had training many times over years, but I’ve never had a training session that not only was informative but also the trainer kept the whole group including myself engaged throughout the whole three hours.

‘Hands down the most informative, fun and exciting training I’ve done. Tim was full of energy. A fantastic trainer.’

‘I normally dread this course as it can be a long draining day, however trainer Tim made this course enjoyable, did not rush and was happy to explain things further. he made this interactive and fun for everyone, he made a conscious effect to know our names and include everyone. He was professional and personal and is a huge asset to the IKON training company, he represents IKON to an outstanding level.’

‘I really enjoyed this training, it was a lot different compared to other training I’ve had in the past, Tim made sure everyone was involved and made the session enjoyable. I suffer with anxiety and any type of training I worry a lot about and there have been times I’ve not attended due to this, I was very apprehensive and nervous about attending this training, but no sooner Tim introduced himself and began I instantly felt at ease and enjoyed the course’

‘Great day of de-escalation and breakaway training from Tim at IKON Training yesterday. Tim was very knowledgeable in mental health and, along with giving us the physical skills we hope to never need, provided thought provoking conversation and insight, personal experience and of course, laughter. Tim is one of life’s good guys and I hope to cross paths again in the future.’

Sam our trainer was brilliant! answered every question we had and kept us all entertained! the time flew by! All round good session, thanks!’

‘Sam was an excellent communicator, very engaging and made the training feel relaxed and fun.
