IOSH Working Safely Course highly recommended

Well what can I say?! I thought I knew about Health & Safety but my knowledge improved by the time I took the assessments. A fantastic and easy on the eye course . whilst navigating the course: it’s very straight forward with clear instructions. Immediate access once you’ve paid for the course, with options to replay a video or go back to the previous page if you want to check information. Then you go straight into doing the assessments… great timing even though you feel under pressure to answer the questions as quickly as possible. A fantastic start to anyone’s Health & Safety Course journey along with being Accredited and CPD
