Train in the HSE’s proven approach to health and safety risk management

Course Overview

Develop straightforward, practical health and safety risk management skills so you can go beyond risk assessment, to effectively control the health and safety risks caused by hazards in your workplace.

“Assessment is not the end product of risk management, and businesses should understand that the elimination or control of the assessed risks is the more important part of the overall process. This new qualification focuses on how organisations can effectively and sustainably manage risks in a proportionate manner.”

Ron Macbeth
Risk Assessment Technical Lead Health and Safety Executive

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.
