“I have attended both the NEBOSH general certificate and then the diploma courses. I found that it was a really great learning experience especially as a mature student. The hands on subject knowledge of all the lectures was fantastic as they were able to expand on the subject and make it more interesting and relevant with actual examples. The emphasis was always on ensuring that we understood each module and the tutors were always happy to go over any questions and spend additional time on any problem area. I found the whole learning experience at Northumbria was excellent and enjoyable with fantastic facilities with tutors and staff who put the student first. The fact that I have these accredited Qualifications has really benefited my employer, as now I am able to ensure that safety in the workplace is paramount in the day to day running of the operation. I would definitely recommend Northumbria for anyone wishing to study for their NEBOSH certificate or diploma“
