Your standard industrial series of videos. The really good points: test at the end of each module tests throughout the video extra reading material Poor points: RA at the end is poorly structured Reading material sometimes does not include crucial information covered in the training videos
Ok for online tutoring...had done the course before so the update was useful
Very helpful training material and personnel.It assist me a lot to take my Nebosh IGC certification.
Great support during the learning process, always available to answer questions
Team is very much supportive
Open tutors with enormous knowledge helped me to understand to curriculum and I was well prepared for exam. After course communication was between BSC and myself was very good and all people I was communicating were helpful and friendly, Thank you. ***** from me.
Very poor would not use them again. Incorrectly marked risk assessment for nebosh exam 4 times and would not help we had to make a complaint and had a meeting with them and a resit free of charge. No explanation on how or why it was incorrectly marked either
Gavin provided us with an excellent and erudite training session, and I would gladly learn from him again!
I genuinely found my online training fascinating and really beneficial, potentially even life saving. Of all the online training courses I've done, I thought Gavin was probably the most knowledgeable, engaging and professional tutor I've encountered.
Fantastic company to use and really helpful in the process. I would highly recommend British Safety Council for courses.
I recently completed the Level 3 NVQ Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety, and both my assessor, Derek and the Programme Manager, Upkaar were extremely supportive throughout the course. Derek’s guidance and encouragement enabled me to complete the course within the timeframe I had personally set for myself, and I am grateful to him for providing such an outstanding level of advice in an efficient manner. Similarly, Upkaar was very helpful and communicative, providing timely responses to my queries. I would highly recommend the British Safety Council as a training provider, as my experience was positive from start to finish.
Harry my mentor was always at the end of the phone ready to give a steer when required. Upkaar was also supportive durring my final optional module. All in all a positive experience
Both Upkaar and Jamie were very supporting during the process of completing the course, providing guidance when needed and enabling the desired result upon completion.
Both Upkaar and Ian my assessor have been absolutely outstanding with their support, guidance and enthusiasm throughout the course of my Diploma. I would highly recommend the British Safety Council to anyone who wishes to study for their health and safety qualification.
Successfully completed the Level 5 Diploma which Jamie and Upkaar were very helpful and understanding throughout the course especially during the difficulties COVID added to balancing work and the course completion. I am also thankful they, especially Jamie pushed and encouraged me to completing Unit 611 as I was not going to do it.
I recently completed the Level 5 Diploma with British Safety Council and had great support from Upkaar on the admin side and great guidance and support form my assessor Harry through the whole process. It took me longer than it should due to Covid and WFH but I still received great support through the process, even when I needed to extend. The web portal for uploading evidence and monitoring progress was easy to read and worked well. I would recommend British Safety Council as a training provider for this qualification.
Fantastic trainer in Gavin who was very knowledgeable and had a great teaching style. Course contents were detailed and thorough.
I wanted to share my experience on completing the NVQ level 5 Diploma in Occupational Health & Safety with the BSC. The online course was well structured & the layout was easy to follow. The support form the assessors were clear, precise & swift. I must comment on the support from Upkaar, all questions raised with Upkaar was met with clear direction. Upkaar's communication levels were second to none with all issues raised swiftly & competently. I would recommend the course to anyone wishing to complete the Safety Diploma, once again thank you for the level of service issued.
Our tutor Dr Keith Whitehead was great. He ensured that the course was engaging and tailored to our industry which made it even more worthwhile. I would recommend for anyone to complete the course, even if your role isn't directly involved in environmental management, it can easily be transferred into any role to ensure your company is acting in a responsible and sustainable way. Many thanks Keith.
