  • "I found the NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Health and Safety Leadership Excellence to be a very valuable and practical course. It helped me understand how effective leadership can influence safety culture, employee engagement, and overall health and safety performance. I particularly appreciated the focus on leadership behaviours, communication, influencing people, and creating a positive safety culture rather than simply focusing on rules and compliance. The course also helped me reflect on my own leadership approach and identify areas where I can improve. Overall, the course was well structured, engaging, and highly relevant to my role and professional development. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to strengthen their health and safety leadership skills and make a positive impact in the workplace."

  • "The course was very well presented , the learning portal very intuitive and material thorough and relevant to the syllabus. As I studied self led via distance learning this was important to me. The progress tools enabled me to stay on track with my target assessment dates and booking of the module assessments themselves was very straightforward and efficient. As such I'd recommend Astutis to others having completed both general certificate and diploma with them. Thanks Astutis!"

I'm old scholl and previously opnly attended classroom courses, however I found the structure of the online portal was easy to seperate into "bite-size" chunks to achieve the balance between working and learning simultaeneously."

  • "The NEBOSH general certificate is a difficult course and the hours have to be put in to pass. There is no short cut. The course materials from Astutis are really good and as well as that there are videos available that help you to prepare, my advice, listen to the course and watch the videos over and over until it is engrained into you."
