Forty members of staff at trampoline park operator Oxygen Freejumping have become the first in the UK to gain the new Level 2 Trampoline Park Court Monitor qualification.

The first formal qualification of its kind, the training programme has been developed by health and safety experts Right Directions.

The three-day training course includes practical scenarios and workshops and an Emergency First Aid at Work qualification.

Valid for three years, the Level 2 qualification will require court monitors to complete continuous professional development as part of the retention of the certification, which will be completed in-house as ongoing training.

Staff will be required to attend a one-day refresher course every three years and renew their Emergency First Aid certificate.

The first cohort of graduates work at Oxygen Freejumping’s Derby site and staff at the other eight Oxygen sites have now embarked on the training.

Oxygen currently has nine sites, each with between 30 and 60 frontline staff.
