Empowering Safer Workplaces in Exeter & Beyond

Welcome to INSTRUCKT Training Services.

My name is Chris Pooley, and I’m passionate about delivering practical, high-quality training that makes a real difference in people’s lives. Since founding INSTRUCKT, my mission has been to empower individuals and teams with the skills they need to work safely and confidently. From First Aid to Forklift Operation and Health & Safety Compliance, I’m here to help you build a safer, more efficient workplace.

Our Story: From Military Precision to Community Impact

INSTRUCKT began with a vision to bring the precision and high standards I learned in the British Army to the world of workplace training. My journey started with ten years in the Army, where I specialised in logistics and training, ensuring teams were prepared and ready for any challenge. After leaving the military, I worked as an HGV/LGV trainer during the national driver shortage, which reinforced my commitment to creating training that meets the real needs of today’s workforce.

Today, INSTRUCKT is based in Exeter and serves businesses and individuals throughout the South West. Every course I create is shaped by my experiences and is designed to be interactive, engaging, and relevant – because I believe learning should be enjoyable and practical.

Our Values: Integrity, Excellence, & Empowerment

At INSTRUCKT, my values are at the heart of everything I do. These guiding principles drive the work I deliver and reflect what I believe in:

  • Integrity:

    I’m committed to honesty and quality in every aspect of my training, from compliance to customer service.

  • Excellence:

    With a military background, I bring a level of rigour and professionalism that ensures the highest standards in training.

  • Empowerment:

    My goal is to make essential safety skills accessible and meaningful, so every participant leaves feeling confident and capable.

Whether you’re here for First Aid, Forklift Training, or Health & Safety Compliance, my promise is to provide training that not only ticks boxes but truly prepares you for real-world situations.

Success Stories: Real People, Real Impact

The results my clients see are a testament to the practical value of INSTRUCKT training. Here’s what some of them have to say:

“Really well run course, Chris is very friendly and personable and takes things at everyone's pace, going through things as many times as needed to build confidence. Very enjoyable course to take part in, will be looking to get more training for our staff with Chris.”

– Matt Yates

“Chris delivered a three-day First Aid at Work training to a group of staff at our work. I have attended many first aid training courses and this was by far the best, I cannot recommend him highly enough. The pace, delivery of information and content were enough to keep us engaged (and entertained) throughout!! The assessment at the end was informative to know that I had retained what was taught. Excellent trainer, company and service.”

– Zoe Ellis

Each success story motivates me to keep raising the bar. I’m proud of the impact we’ve made, and I look forward to helping many more teams achieve their safety and training goals.
