IOSH Training - Superb!!

The course was brilliant. All the training material, content and examples shown were spot on and facilitated in the learning process. Our trainer Gavin Taylor was brilliant and kept everyone engaged despite training on MS Teams. I have learnt a lot from this training. I am more aware now than i was before the training. Totally worth it.

IOSH Managing Safely Online Training

I attended a 3 day online live classroom IOSH Managing Safely Training course through British Safety Council with trainer Brian Prout.

The online access to the course was very straight forward and despite a minor issue with getting access to the online portal/learning materials this was rectified quickly and efficiently by Gemma Quealy ahead of the first day of the course.

Brian led the course in a very appropriate manner balancing information, training, delegate input and banter excellently and tailoring examples to the individuals/individual sectors on the course making it all the more relevant.

Regular breaks were given during each day as the majority of people were working from home giving the ability to get a top of water/tea/coffee etc and Brian was on hand throughout to answer any questions or point people in the right direction of what to look for.

Brian was also fantastic at managing technical gremlins for individuals on the course never letting any issues become a sticking point during the training and used Zoom very effectively using breakout rooms and polls which were very cool features.

The online knowledge check modules were very useful and the online test was challenging but tested the information given during the training very well.

I have just to complete the Work Based Project aspect of the course which has 2 weeks after the final training day submission date and good guidance/information is also provided with this.

Highly recommend British Safety Council as a provider and Brian as a trainer!

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide such lovely feedback and five-star ratings. Brian and Gemma were thrilled to read your comments and we have shared with our senior team. Brian particularly fed back that you were first class in the group, you provided lots of positive input throughout. Brian is an excellent trainer, who always makes the sessions engaging and interactive, but it is always so much enjoyable when we know how much everyone gains from the sessions.

Just finished the IOSH Managing Safety course and managed a pass so very happy, but would not have been able to achieve this without the expert tutoring I received from Adrian Van Loom. Excellent course and would recommend to all as an insight into Health and Safety.

IOSH Managing Safely - Adrian Van Loon

I've just completed the IOSH Managing Safely course with Adrian Van Loon. I was dreading this course, due to it being 'Health & Safety' but Adrian was really engaging and made it fun. He allowed people to speak and also allowed people to use the chat which personally, i found very helpful as it suited all the participants personalities whether they were confident interacting. I have learnt a lot in the last 3 days and thankful for his time. :)

IEMA Foundation in Environmental Management

I attended an online 'virtual' course. The course was interactive and engaging. (This was something I had worried might not be as achievable with it not being classroom based/face to face) However you were always kept engaged with a lot of group work and discussions. I found the course very insightful and not only made me think about the environmental impacts in the workplace but also in my personal life!!

I am so pleased to read your feedback about virtual classrooms and the level of interaction. I, along with a few of my colleagues from the BSC team, dropped into the sessions to watch the sustainability presentations delivered by you and your peers. We were extremely impressed with the knowledge and practical application of what you had learnt during the session. The IEMA Foundation is such an insightful course and really helps us all to think about our everyday interactions. Thank you again Amy for sharing with our community.

IEMA Foundation Certificate in Environmental Management

I recently completed the IEMA Foundation Certificate in Environmental Management via the online classroom platform. Attending a full course via Zoom was a totally new experience and the tutor Keith used the available technology to full advantage and it was a great mix of learning and interaction. It was such an interesting course but highlighted how vast the subject area is. Definitely made me want to progress further and will be looking to undertake more training in this area.

Online Zoom NG1 Revision Session

I attended the online Zoom NG1 training course led by Gavin. I thought it was a very positive and engaging session, going through content that I was a little unsure of. Being an online candidate, some topics were a struggle to go through alone, but Gavin made the topics straightforward and easy to follow. It was exactly as I had hoped the revision session would be. Many thanks.
