Testimonial – Humberside Fire & Rescue Service

Dave Collingwood, Humberside FRS

Dave Collingwood – Head of Training for Fire – Humberside Fire & Rescue Service


We started out using pdrPro almost two decades ago, and added learnPro a few years ago now. With the creation of the LearnPro group, it brought new impetus and direction to where we are going with all three products – pdrPro, learnPro and XVR Simulation. We have a better understanding for how we can use them going forward. The support teams are also very visible, we know exactly who to go to if we have an issue or questions.

Using pdrPro is definitely compatible with the national operational guidance and national operational training framework that we are all looking to meet. We had realised we needed a competence recording system that meets all the national standards, and we did that with the help of pdrPro. We made that happen, and we like to think we’re a bit of a forerunner in that respect. The software is now really embedded in our service, and all our firefighters know how to use it. It’s really easy to apply, so it’s an important part of our training systems. It’s also agile enough that we can bend it in the direction we need it to. As we have been redesigning how we use these products, pdrPro in particular, we have received a tremendous amount of support from you. Whenever we had an issue, we have either found a way around it together or you have developed the product to suit our needs. The service has really been excellent.

We added XVR Simulation to our training systems about 5 years ago. We started out using it for incident command trainings only, but we quickly realised it can do so much more. Ever since the pandemic, we use it for remote training and assessment of particularly our on-call fire stations in rural areas. It means these people and fire appliances are more available, and we reduce our carbon footprint by not having everyone come into the training centre.

We know it’s important for fire services to meet the national operational guidance and national operational training framework, and we have been able to do that with the way we are implementing these products.

Renewed and expanded ISO 27001: 2013 certification

In June 2022 the LearnPro EFire Service Ltd (LPEFS), part of the LearnPro Group, was issued a renewed and expanded ISO 27001: 2013 certificate. From this date, our competency management recording software (pdrPro) and our e-learning software as a service (learnPro), are not only certified for the fire services, but also for the health and social care services.

The certification is a confirmation that our way of working guarantees reduced risk of security breaches, while potential breakthroughs are identified easier and quicker. The response therefore can be faster and more efficient, thus mitigating any potential damages.

For our customers, this means that we not only handle their information with the highest level of integrity and security, but also in the unlikely case that something unwanted is happening we are equipped, prepared and capable to mitigate the potential damage.

ISO 27001: 2013 states requirements for an Information Security Management System (ISMS) on protecting crucial information assets. Complying with this ISO standard is the first step to showing that you want to deal with Information Security professionally. The next step is certification, a step that LPEFS was willing to take. After a thorough audit by independent Information Security experts from QMS Ltd, LPEFS was issued the official ISO 27001: 2013 certificate.

This certificate shows that we have implemented and are maintaining a thorough Information Security Management System to protect our and the customers’ data, based on risk assessments, policies and processes, pre-planned responses and continuous improvements towards information security.

Part of the certification is an annual audit from an independent certification body to guarantee a structural high quality of Information Security.
