This is followed by a closing interview to confirm that the submitted assessment is all the learners own work.

Unit IG2 is a three-hour practical examination carried out by the learner in their own workplace.

The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and approachable and quite obviously very experienced in their field. The course tutor explained everything and was open to questions even the more difficult ones. Overall I would definitely recommend Woodward SHE to anyone looking to undertake courses in Health & Safety.read more

I attended one of Woodward's NEBOSH packages that encompassed the National General Certificate, Construction... certificate, Fire Certificate and Environmental Certificate. The package was very competitively priced and spaced out over a suitable period of weeks which allowed time for consolidation and coursework prior to the next module starting.The standard of instruction was excellent with all of the lecturers being highly qualified, experienced and knowledgeable. They were enthusiastic and used a range of different learning techniques which were appropriate to the subject being taught. They encouraged candidates to think around the subject and to examine Health and Safety issues critically and objectively.The modules were very thorough in covering the syllabus and providing candidates with the necessary knowledge. They also encouraged candidates to carry out research and further study in their own time in order to achieve a higher standard of pass. The lecturers provided guidance on what to revise/research and signposted candidates to numerous websites and journals which proved to be very useful.Woodward were very efficient and helpful with the application process and with providing admin support throughout the course and afterwards. The catering was very good with a wide selection of sandwiches and baked potatoes on offer as well as cookies, biscuits, muffins and more at break times along with tea, coffee and cordials.An added benefit is Woodward's associate scheme which provides an excellent opportunity for successful candidates who wish to deliver training to use Woodward's accreditation.read more

I undertook a NEBOSH package through Woodward as part of my resettlement courses which included completing five... certificates. All the staff at Woodward were very professional throughout, and offered great value for money.
