Completed the TG20 scaffolding inspection course, amazing tutor who made everyone feel at ease for the two days whilst delivering an intense course. Only female out of 18 and you would have never known, the company was fantastic, arrived feeling on the back foot but between Jason, the company and the others on the course I settled in quickly and was supported where ever needed. Highly recommend HCS and their team. Thank you for a lovely 2 days !

I have recently completed the NEBOSH Health and Safety course with HCS Safety and would like to take a moment to acknowledge the outstanding quality of the training provided.

The first week and a half of the course was led by Sara Q, whose engaging, friendly, and professional teaching style created an incredibly positive learning environment. Sara's ability to make complex topics accessible and interesting was greatly appreciated by all of us on the course. Sara took the time to review our mock exam answers and guide us to full marks.

The second half and third week were delivered by Rob, who continued in the same high standard of delivery. Rob was equally engaging, supportive, and knowledgeable, and he took the time to ensure everyone understood the material thoroughly, especially when it came to understanding how to write our risk assessments.

Both Sara and Rob consistently went above and beyond in supporting our learning. Their approachable manner and willingness to help with any questions made a significant difference to my confidence and understanding of the course material.

I would highly recommend both Sara and Rob to anyone undertaking health and safety training. They are not only excellent trainers but are also a real asset to HCS Safety. Their professionalism, enthusiasm, and dedication truly enhanced the overall course experience.

Cannot give enough praise to this firm. The staff, in particular - Simon, at the Southampton branch, go above and beyond for those attending courses. My son attended the day course and Simon was on hand at all times offering support and assistance. The other staff who answer the calls are equally as helpful and friendly. Thank you all 🙂

I use HCS Safety for a lot of my operative training and management site training. I have also undertaken various courses here myself including NEBOSH and IOSH. I cannot rate this company high enough, highly professional and brilliant course variety. Even when training throughout a pandemic I felt safe and well looked after throughout! I would highly recommend using HCS Safety Limited for your training needs.

“

Really enjoyed the course. Made better by two superb and patient tutors in Karen and Drew
Thanks to Olivia too, always there to greet and help following my daily commute from the Isle of Wight. Both Tutors were exceptional but a special word reserved for Karen Fanner. She has a unique style of delivery that commands your attention, no matter how intense and relentless the course material is. Drew also had an incredible level of knowledge about the industry and legislation. Great training company thanks!

My team have come to me absolutely buzzing about the training they received with Sara yesterday. They told me she was brilliant and so knowledgeable. Everyone really enjoyed the training, were fully engaged and even managed to have a few laughs along the way! They told me the equipment used was different to previous courses and was really good (they even took photos to share with me), they also said the course content was spot on for what we do and what we need. Overall they said the day flew by and would love to continue with first aid training with yourselves.

Thanks very much for facilitating such a great session for the team,

“

The following are responses to specific questions we asked of delegates after we ran this course for the first time.

The course did meet my expectations and I feel that I now have a better understanding of workplace stress and my responsibilities as an employer.
We had used the 6 HSE Management Standards as the basis of our stress risk assessment carried out last year so we will be completing this again within the next few months using what I learnt on the course.
I found the exercises that you added in very helpful, particularly the primary, secondary and tertiary intervention explanations.
