Facilitator Testimonial:

"After months of hard work, it’s exciting to celebrate the attainment of their qualification with the health and safety advisors and coordinators on this course. They often keep in touch and share news of their progression into more challenging health and safety roles. These roles require tenacity and endurance to remain in this field and not get disillusioned. Focus on what makes the greatest difference – and be that unrelenting squeaky wheel". (Sheree Camilleri)
