IOSH online course
Once you get into the course the modules aren't to bad. I liked the option you had plenty of time to complete the course.

Mixed thoughts
This is a tough review as the original lecturer was brilliant, well organised and conveyed the learnings very well. He was experienced and engaging. Unfortunately due to personal reasons he had to leave midway. This is where BSC broke down and their organisation fell apart in what should have been an easy transition. We had two replacements which provided contradictory messages between each other and the original. Bookings for exams got missed out for several of us on the course. BSC support was poor and you felt like they got your money and ran.

IOSH Managing Safety training
Reasonably good training material and overall package, delivered remotely. Easy to access and use with a good practical application of the knowledge in the final assessment. Uploading and marking of the final assessment ran very smoothly.

Managing Safely
Overall - very good. 2 issues: a) the interactive 'walk around and spot the hazards' did not work properly, so I had to keep cancelling it and coming out and going back in. Cancelling was labelled as "starting again", but it just went back to the same point with the same error. A reboot fixed it. b) Our browsers are locked down by the company and it wasn't clear the impact of not being able to allow pop-ups on the final test, therefore I could only make one attempt.

Good
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

Sorry to hear you feel you have had a poor experience with us and left us a one-star review. However, we do not mark the assessments. Looking back at your record, there appeared to be some inconsistencies in the marking and we felt that the grading and feedback were not appropriate. We flagged this to NEBOSH, and this resulted in a free resubmission which you passed.
Apologies that this has affected your experience with us. We do hope you will contact us when you are ready for your next course and can leave us a five-star review as others have done.

Online IOSH Managing Safely course
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.

Level 3 NVQ Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety
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.
