• Providing accurate course materials and continually updating and improving them
• Ensuring tutors are qualified, knowledgeable, competent and engaging
• Giving learners feedback on their progress and providing appropriate support
• Reviewing course delivery and learner feedback and actioning as necessary.

“We are really pleased to have been designated Gold NEBOSH Learning Partner status,” says Paul Kift, Gower College Swansea’s Director of Skills and Business Development. “This is testament not only to the professionalism and high standards of our teaching staff but also the entire GCS Training team who help and support our many customers through their learning experience.”

Some recent customer feedback:

“Using Gower College Swansea for my NEBOSH Fire and Risk assessment was an easy and enjoyable experience. From the offset, I was supplied with all the details…throughout the course I was trained with a group and knew I had 1-2-1 support as I needed it…my tutor had an enjoyable teaching style, working though the syllabus and bringing it to life through his own personal experiences and stories…the course very enjoyable and worth the four hour drive from Barnstaple…each week”
Dennis Hassan, Operations Manager (PH Jones – part of British Gas)    

“Having completed the NEBOSH General, Environmental and Fire Certificates with Gower College Swansea, I would like to comment on how informative the courses were. My tutors made the courses interesting, with a lot of real life examples gained from their experience in the EHS area.”
