Joanne Blackburn, Health and Safety Assistant at Graham and Brown completed IOSH Managing Safely course before progressing onto the NEBOSH General Certificate:
"I have benefited hugely from the course. Being new to Health and Safety the Nebosh General Certificate has given me a greater understanding and a lot more confidence, which I can apply in my workplace. The staff at Business solutions were always very welcoming and helpful and made me feel at ease. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bury College Business Solutions as a training provider to anyone. I've had a busy year, and now need to take a deep breath and put all I have learnt into practise, but when the studying bug raises it head again, I will definitely be reaching for the Business Solutions prospectus!"

"Here at LGC Standards PT, we thoroughly enjoyed the Effective Communication training provided by Lisa Grundy from Bury College Business Solutions. The training was very useful and the Customer Services team have already implemented many of the techniques learnt; for example, their telephone manner improved practically overnight! We found Lisa to be enthusiastic and she made learning fun. She also tuned in to which activities worked best for us and ensured that we got the best out of the training provided."
