Highly recommended for training / consultancy
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.

Top Marks to BSC!
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!

Engaging and thoroughly useful course
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.

Cheers Adrian! :)
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

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.
