Report
I recently completed a NEBOSH Environmental course with CCAS. The course was both interesting and well attended from a wide range of different businesses. The level of instruction is exactly what is required to ensure students gain the right level of understanding. Barry and the team of instructors are highly experienced and are able to bring the subjects to life in an inclusive team building way which makes them all the more interesting. I can most highly recommend CCAS to anyone who wants to gain H&S qualifications noatter what area of business you are in. All in all a great learning experience
