Another happy Phoenix delegate!

Praise for Phoenix Health & Safety

Martin Wood recently studied for the NEBOSH Construction Certificate via distance learning and obtained fantastic results! Achieving an overall mark of 260 resulted in Martin being awarded a Distinction, the highest mark offered for a NEBOSH certificate course. Martin got 92 in NGC1, 85 in the NCC1 and 83 in the NCC2.

Here is what Martin had to say:

“ Two years ago I was asked by my company if I would be interested in playing a part  in our internal Health and Safety arrangements, this would involve being trained to attain an appropriate NEBOSH qualification, in my case the NEBOSH Construction Certificate.”

A tentative ‘yes’ was quickly followed by some apprehension and  uncertainty on what this would involve.

A Google search produced 2 or 3 Health and Safety training organisations that appeared to stand out from the rest.

For me distant learning was soon found to be the best option for my personal circumstances and from my shortlist of potential course providers  Phoenix Health & Safety ticked all the boxes.

A number of things attracted me:

One sentence really stood out which was ‘Guaranteed Pass’. Phoenix were so confident  in their product they would support their students to this extent. This was very reassuring, even before the course had started to know that if I followed the guidance given and was prepared to work hard I would pass. This element was priceless.

The expert qualifications and experience of the tutors was very impressive and it was clear many of them had taken a similar route through distance learning  themselves when they first started out on the H&S road and I knew they would be able to understand my own circumstances.

Pricing was very important and out of all the providers considered Phoenix were extremely competitive and proved to be the most cost effective.

On receiving the course materials and checking the contents the first thing I did was to contact my designated tutors to introduce myself and get some initial guidance. Both were immediately in touch with me and provided some reassuring words of encouragement and sound advice on how to cover and to get the best out of the materials.

Each element was very well explained. the revision sections with the question and answers gave a good indicator on how well you had understood  what had been covered.

Anytime I needed support concerning my studies my tutors were a simple phone call or email away and never let me down once over the 18 months to two years of the course.

In preparation for the actual exam days mock tests were provided to fully prepare me for the big day.

Looking back, the course materials, excellent tutor support  and my own hard work has enabled me to gain a Distinction in the NEBOSH Construction Certificate.

I am now seriously considering progressing onto the NEBOSH Diploma and if I do it will certainly be with Phoenix Health & Safety.”

We would like to congratulate Martin on his superb results and would like to thank him for his feedback.

If you would like to get results as good as Martin’s why not sign up today!
