Mr Iain Turner
A great service provider absolutely recommended
"What a superb training provider SHEC are from my enquiry to successfully passing my diploma they're continued support and advice was second to non even with a change in tutor early in the course, Nigel stepped and was great, the support and communication was always there and nothing was an issue. He even kept me on track as I progressed with forecasts and plans. Even though I'm finished with my diploma the support and advice is still forthcoming. A pleasure to deal with and would certainly recommend. Thanks for everything."

Questions before you choose
Do I need a relevant job to enrol?
That depends on the qualification. Knowledge qualifications and CPD have different requirements from workplace competence qualifications. An NVQ requires access to suitable work and authentic evidence. Check the course requirements or ask us for a suitability review.
What is the difference between Fire Risk Assessment Level 3 and Level 4?
The Level 3 Award assesses foundation knowledge. The Level 4 Certificate assesses knowledge and practical competence and requires a suitability review. Compare Level 3 and Level 4 before choosing.
Can I study alongside work?
Our online routes allow you to plan study around your commitments. Required study time, assessment opportunities and access periods vary. Check the specific course page and agree a realistic plan during induction.
Can I use ELCAS or CITB funding?
Funding depends on the course and your or your employer’s eligibility. Provider approval does not mean every course is funded. Read the ELCAS guidance or CITB guidance before committing.
Does a qualification automatically give me professional membership?
No. Professional bodies and card schemes apply their own qualification, experience and other requirements. Use the relevant course and pathway guidance, and check the organisation’s current criteria.
