It was a good learning tool some things were not clear and could use extra explanation when asking questions. Also some jarring spelling mistakes which made parts hard to read. Overall a good experience.
Good and intuitive online course.
Easy to follow
Well if that's the case refund my money that I paid to do the course, it was supposed to be a lifetime award, not 2027, yer an absolute joke, scam artists, your whole company should be disbanded and closed down, disgusting and all those people ye screwed over, ye should refund the money or pay for another course gangsters and common theives
I have just completed the Level 5 Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety practice. I found the course very challenging, with course content and COVID. However, I found that it has helped me grow as an individual, gain confidence in myself and grow my skills during the course of completing the units. The tutors and programme manager have been extremely helpful with all aspects of my journey and when I wanted to give up, they were very encouraging and kept me on my path to success. I would definitely recommend them for future courses for myself and any of my team.
I have just completed the Level 5 Diploma with British Safety Council and though I found it a challenge to complete at the same time as working full time it was both informative and rewarding. I want to thank my Tutor Derek Wilkinson for his excellent support throughout the whole process, who would always respond quickly to provide extra guidance where needed. Overall this was a very positive experience for me and I would recommend the British Safety Council to anyone wishing to complete the Diploma.
I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience with Britsafe, who have helped me achieve my NVQ level 3 in Occupational Health and Safety. The journey from start to finish was nothing short of a breeze, thanks to their professional and efficient team who provided unwavering support and guidance throughout. Despite encountering a setback during my training due to redundancy, Britsafe enabled me to effortlessly transition to a new company and continue with my NVQ. Their adaptability and flexibility impressed me greatly, making my learning journey seamless and stress-free. Overall, I cannot recommend Britsafe enough as a training provider. Their commitment to excellence is unparalleled, and I am excited to pursue further training with them in the future.
Tutor and course curriculum were great, broke the subject matter down well so that you had chance to absorb the information.
Great experience with the British Safety Council, Upkaar and my assessor Derek were brilliant throughout, would recommend to anyone wanting to do their level 3
For the final Risk Assessment exam i felt it was not clearly explained what was expected of you, the format has changed from when colleagues have completed the course so i felt a little unprepared. A note at the start stating this was an actual assessment and would form part of the assessment would be good to ensure you are in a quiet place and have put 2 hours aside, luckily i was at the point i got to this but others might find themselves in a loud office and hit start at 4.30pm not realising it is a marked assessment and not a practise.
Very intense but informative. I really enjoyed it, thank you.
Great course and teacher. Terrible organisation and booking system. I had to email at least 5 times and call your office at least 10 to be able to book the course.
The online course was really engaging and easy to following
I had a good trainer who was very knowledgeable about the subject he was giving training on. he did not have a voice that droned on and was inclusive and interacted with every member of the group. ay two was quite intense learning about the laws and legalities, but all in all I enjoyed my training sessions even though some of it was a refresher rather than new information.
Helpful when emailed with queries, bit of trouble with the online assessment at end, with loading etc and ticking answers
Very easy to learn and take on the information that was provided.
was on a 3 day IOSH course very good presation and content
Tutor was great. I had to have a time extension and they were very accommodating. System/learning materials were simple and easy to use
The tutor managed the learning very well, set at a pace all could handle. Explained well and answered any questions.
