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

NVQ Level 5 in Occupational Health and Safety Practice
I have just completed the NVQ and the support I had been given from my assessor Harry and the Programme Manager Upkaar was exemplary. The qualification appeared to be a bit repetitive in part but with their guidance, I was able to complete the qualification without major issue. There was obvious issues with COVID-19 and not being able to gather evidence but this was met with understanding in that I could take that little bit longer to complete. This has given me the impetus to complete the level 6 qualification and given a new focus on continual study and development.

I received excellent tutor support from Jamie who was always on hand when I needed help, he was quick to respond and made the whole process achievable for me. The management support was also very reliable, Upkaar was prompt to come back to me with any queries I had and kept me updated through the duration. Thanks to you all for the excellent support.

Level 5 Diploma in OHS Practice
I cannot recommend BSC enough based on my experience of completing my Level 5 diploma in Occupational Health and Safety Practice. The level of support, in terms of both assessment and administration was excellent: I had a number of setbacks during my course (injury, lockdown and serious IT issues) all of which were addressed quickly, with good grace: this makes a big difference when you're fitting your diploma in around home & work. It is always good to have ones choice of course provider vindicated by good customer service as well as a good product. It has been a pleasure studying with BSC: thank you.
