While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

IOSH Management Safety course - Jeremy Mitchell (Instructor)
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have taken the IOSH Management Safety course with Jeremy Mitchell as my instructor. His expertise and passion for the subject matter were truly inspiring, and I found myself fully engaged in the learning experience. Thanks to the course's well-structured material, I was able to gain invaluable insights that have helped me both personally and professionally. The online exams were a breeze, and I experienced no technical hiccups. This experience has inspired me to continue learning and growing as a safety professional, and I cannot wait to apply my newfound knowledge to make a difference.

Level 3 NVQ Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety
I have completed the Level 3 NVQ Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety recently. I was happy with the service provided, the support I had from Mark and how promptly he replied to my messages or marked my work.
I have undertaken previous courses with the British Safety Council, I would recommend this provider.

Very good and informative course

Great in person, but the online portal needs a little help
The course was set in a nice hotel with a good lunch offering, and content was delivered very clearly and set us up for completing the tests online.
In terms of completing the tests online, there were issues with the online system, and the support team weren't very responsive via email. Both my colleague and i had to open the web pages on different devices for the tests to load (you need to mark as done and it wouldn't work). It took me a couple of days, and him over a week to be able to do the final tests due to the system issues. That's why i haven't marked as 5 stars. Don't leave the test to later, try to log on asap, otherwise you would miss the deadline.

It was a poor course- if I had not come across Health and safety or risk assessments before I would struggle. At the start the course went straight into an interactive task with no explanation.
When completing the tests, my internet dropped out (at work ) and the course counted it as an attempt. I hadn't even started the test at that point

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.
