Macy is brilliant and very patient. I did not want to do the NEBOSH general certificate but with her support I have decided to try again. The booking process was really easy

NEBOSH National General Certificate

I have been studying the NEBOSH qualification for the past 2 years, The Information given by Brits council is very good. The study pack is also excellent if you know what you are doing.
I did my first exam back last year and I failed it, because I did not fully understand how to answer the questions. I was very upset and when I contacted British Safety Council, they put me through to Maria who spoke to me and calm me down. Maria started to tutor me once every week.
I was very impressed with the way she immediately went through the different techniques of answering the exam questions.
Maria was very patient, she made sure that I understood and applied myself well. she was always supportive and no one was left behind.

Thank you Maria for your relentless help. you have been an anchor throughout my Journey and the world needs more teachers like you. I passed this exam because I was able to understand exactly what I needed to pass my exam.

NEBOSH General OBE success

I have been studying for the NEBOSH General with the British Safety Council and had been struggling with the correct technique to answer the mock tests for the NG1 OBE correctly.

Huge thanks to Maria Lopez who was able to encourage me to use my knowledge and experience in conjunction with the mock scenarios to ensure full and justified answers.

These sessions were pivotal in helping me to me pass my NG1 with a great score in February 2025 and having also completed the NG2 I now hold the NEBOSH National General Certificate, something I am extremely proud of.

Thanks again Maria for all your help, I am hugely grateful for the support and encouragement you shown me to help me believe in myself to pass.

Life-changing support from Maria Lopez - finally Passed my NEBOSH NG1

After failing my NEBOSH NG1 National Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety exam three times (with score of 35 and 40), I was starting to lose hope. I had the knowledge and experience, but I just couldn't crack the way NEBOSH expects you to structure your answers.

Maria Lopez at the British Safety Council provided high-level, tailored support that made all the difference. She didn't just explain the content, she trained me on how to think and write in the NEBOSH way. Her guidance was clear, practical, and incredibly effective.

I ended up scoring 61 out of 82 marks in my recent exam - and that's without even completing two tasks worth a total of 18 marks! That's how strong my answers were, thanks to her coaching.

Exceptional result from a 1 hour conversation

I have been completing my NEBOSH Dip by distance learning, using the printed materials and completing the work in my own time without an online course or a tutor. I passed 1 of the 3 units and struggled to pass the other 2. I was however, very close to the pass mark.

I contacted British Safety Council and had an hour conversation with Maria Lopez in the study support team, reviewed my previous submittals and took me through a template to assist in structuring my answers and I have jumped to passing my next submittal by 15%.

I am exceptionally pleased with this result and hope to replicate it with my third and final coursework submittal.

IEMA Foundation Certificate

Really eye opening course equipping you with the knowledge and skills needed to begin your journey towards improved environmental performance. Our course trainer was Keith who was one of the most engaging trainers I have met and immediately had us putting our newfound knowledge into practice, giving you the confidence to apply it as well. I couldn't recommend this strongly enough.

I really enjoyed the live online Lessons

I really enjoyed the live online, I was still able to interact with fellow learners and have separate group sessions.
The tutor was very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of breaks, which helped with concentration.
