RISK deliver remote online health & safety courses for CITB & NEBOSH

As a training provider our work was largely based upon providing face-to-face training in key locations across the UK. Typically our strategy was to focus on locations where the construction sector was particularly active. Then came the pandemic, the UK lockdown in March 2020 saw all venues closed and people ordered to stay home. Our business was put on hold and nobody knew for how long. By April 2020 RISK was the first company to adapt and deliver CITB SMSTS & SSSTS courses for remote online training. Working with CITB to feedback what was working well and what needed changing to suit the format, CITB adapted the course requirements.

 

CITB Training Courses from Site Safety Plus Scheme

Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) five day remote learning course and the Site Management Safety Training Scheme Refresher (SMSTS-R) two day remote learning course together with the Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) two day remote course, and the Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme Refresher (SSSTS-R) one day course.

Both are assessed by a digital 'Theory Test' – which is number of multiple choice and written questions, currently undertaken in Microsoft Forms to maintain the integrity/confidentiality of the exam process. Delegates must score 80% to pass.

 

NEBOSH Certificate courses remote/online with OBE

Working with NEBOSH, Mike and the team at RISK were able to advise on the take up of remote online learning and the benefits of delivering remote courses. By July 2020 NEBOSH announced their flagship NG1 module could be delivered  remotely and would be tested via a pioneering online, open book exam in October.  Again RISK were first to deliver the NG1 courses remotely and had over 40 delegates taking the inaugural open book exam.

RISK delivers all the NEBOSH Certificate courses remotely online, with tutor led video conference creating a virtual classroom experience. NEBOSH relaunched its NEBOSH General Certificate, Construction Certificate, Fire Certificate and Environmental Certificate qualifications in 2020/21. All are now only available as a remote online Open Book Exam. Find out more about the NEW NEBOSH Certificate Open Book Exam Courses!

 

Our support before during and after the courses is second to none - here's an over view of the RISK difference.

This is easy to set-up and simply requires your business details, one of our support team will take you through the process over the phone. Finally if you have a significant volume of delegates you need trained, we can open you an account. This means you'll receive and invoice which needs to be paid prior to the course commencing.
