I had a great experience with the service I have received with BSC. They have an outstanding team with a deep understanding of their craft and The team has been there for supporting us through our project and communicating with me through the process from day 1.
The guidelines of the topic were very good and straight forward. It helped me how to act in such situations.
The course is extremely helpful and gives practical advice, ideas and suggestions on how to manage a conversation regarding Mental Health. Certain tips were really an eye opener.
nice course. better to use animated or real life videos to give more impact. Can I use material to release stress of others? Regards ashok
Did a three day IOSH H&S course with British Standard council. The trainer was Gavin Taylor who was excellent and made the course very interesting! Very knowledgeable and patient with everyone on the course and made the subject H&S very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this course that gives you a certificate and lots of information. Thanks to Gavin Taylor for being such a great trainer for the three days!!
Level 5 Diploma in Occupational H&S. Very good course from start to finish with good support from David and Upkaar. Very challenging and rewarding.
Excellent from start to Finish. I felt really comfortable that i had my Tutor Paul and Upkaar to support me through my course. Would have no hesitation in completing another course with them soon.
Short precise and clear . I can start looking some of problems of management , staff and workers to work safely. It will help my favourite subject: behaviour transformation Thanks Shantanu dutta India
We approached the British Safety Council for one to one training for a senior executive who had just taken over as the Chair of our Health and Safety Committee. The session was productive and has led us to make some important changes. A special thank you to Phil Pinnington.
The IOSH Managing Safely Course was very interesting and informative. Gavin Taylor is very professional and created a good and friendly atmosphere during the course that encouraged me to ask questions and get engaged.
Had the fantastic opportunity to do my Level 5 with BSC and have Paul S as my tutor. Really engaging and helped me when i needed it. I have to say, i found the online portfolio management tool daunting at first, but what a fantastic and flawless tool it soon became. Top marks for making uploading evidence so easy!
Thank you Gavin for an engaging and useful course on Managing Safely. Your early support to ensure the captions were working for me is much appreciated and ensured I got as much out of the course as possible. The course has highlighted several areas for improvement for me to work on and escalate in our organisation.
Adrian delivered an excellent course throughout the three days. Witty, amusing and very knowledgeable, he made the course very easy to engage with and although the amount of content is substantial, you never felt weighed down or overwhelmed at any point. Adrian was brilliant at knowing when everyone needed a little break and was frank and honest about the topic. It was refreshing to have an instructor who wasn't worried about being himself. He gave you the information you needed to know but he was truthful and authentic. Too often on training courses nowadays instructors are seemingly too worried about straying off the 'official script' if you like and it becomes a bit monotonous. Adrian was authentic, generous with his time and knowledge and made this course an extremely worthwhile experience. I would recommend the course to anyone
It was great and the structure was good. The course leader was enthusiastic, using humour and feedback from the class to keep us engaged with the subject matter.
A superb 3 day training course. Adrian delivered the course in a way to make it engaging, interesting and easy to understand. Very approachable and professional manor. Would definitely recommend this course.
Excellent IOSH course delivered by Adrian. Adrian made it really easy for us to understand and learn about H&S Management System. Very helpful course for my day to day tasks. Thank you Adrian
Really enjoyed the training and definitely feel more empowered to conduct my role with more knowledge and confidence. Kudos to our facilitator, Adrian van Loon, really enjoyed the interaction and keeping the sessions relevant, engaging and up beat.
The training Helpful
