Astutis Reviews

I feel the course tried to cram too much into 3 days - i have done this course a few times before and it has been reduced from 5 days to 4 days and now 3 days. Hence why i have given it a 3. Chris Proud the tutor was fantastic - very knowledgeable, warm and approachable.

The course was far too long to be doing 8 hours on a teams call. Myself I prefer to do face to face courses. The content should be directed more at what we do as a business

The tutor was very good at sharing his knowledge and experience, in the construction industry. The tutor was engaging throughout the learning sessions and very good at answering our questions. I'm a very disappointed that the course materials, i.e., the three volumes of course notes and delegate workbook didn't arrive, before the course started and I had to chase the Course Admin team, to request hard copies of the course materials. Thankfully, the course tutor had electronic copies of the course materials and Open Book Exam examples, for us, my colleagues and I, to work from, which was very useful and handy to follow the course tutor through the course material. Though I've covered the course material, during my NEBOSH General Certificate, Fire & Risk Management and Diploma courses, it was good to be refreshed on what subject matter we should expect to know and could be asked questions on, during the NEBOSH Health & Safety Management in Construction Open Book Exam.

Overall the course has been extremely disappointing, this has been explained in detail in my feedback for weeks 1 and 2. I also believe that the content from IEMA is massively out of date, examples provided were from 10 years ago and no longer relevant. What has saved things for Astutis is that our week 3 tutor Mike has been exceptional. I really enjoyed the final week due to the way he delivered the course. Clearly he is very experienced and this came across, and he was able to hold the attention of the group and ensured we had adequate breaks and breakout activities. I am still unhappy overall but really glad you found Mike for us for our final week.

Gary was brilliant. Clear communication, very enthusiastic about the topic, stayed calm when members of the group were confused on had got anxious and diffused the situation very well. However the course materials were late arriving to my house (arrived 2 days into the course) despite the fact I had completed the form as requested - the member of the team that asked me to re-confirm my address for the delivery of materials stated the forms were not working properly. But when I asked for an updated ETA the response I got was because I was delayed in providing my details - which was not factually correct - I completed the form as soon as it was sent to me. This felt unprofessional and added stress to the course. When the materials arrived the book had coloured pages and non coloured pages which is disorientating and again appeared disorientating. The powerpoint presentation used by Gary was a copy and paste 95% of the time from the text book which isn't particularly engaging. Because my hardcopy course materials did not arrive on time I used the online materials provided in the link to the teams meeting which contained the old materials that were no longer applicable and had to wait for the up to date materials to be sent. Gary arranged this as I was not the only one without the course materials but again it was another unprofessional demonstration on Astutis' behalf.

Content was dated and would benefit from some up to date relevant examples
