The National Safety Passport Gains University Accreditation
Thursday, January 14th, 2010Industrial installations and employing organisations who take candidates who have completed the National Safety Passport computer based training program have now received another reassurances that their employees have the wisdom and expertise to work safely in a hazard laden environment.
The National Safety Passport CBT course from Cognition Media has been betowed with accreditation from Teesside University. Employees have completed the National Safety Passport will now not only be awarded their nationally recognised EMSS (Essential Minimum Safety Standard) Safety Passport card but will in addition be eligible for University points allowing a University Certificate in Professional Development (UCPD) or further university qualification.
This new development shows the National Safety Passport’s position as an academic as well as a professional qualification further showing the high quality instruction in industrial health and safety that is delivered.
The program is totally transportable allowing candidates to do it as and when around their other duties. No more need for days away from the job, travelling or overnight costs; a no brainer in the current economic climate.
The huge cost savings to the industry make the National Safety Passport a popular alternative to more traditional classroom based passport schemes and recognition from both EMSS and now Teesside University further prove the high quality of training that accompanies the cost savings.
At a price of £69.99 (ex VAT) the computer based training program includes the nationally recognised EMSS Safety Passport card which can be validated online for authenticity. This will surpass employer’s compulsory need to provide safety, health and environment (SHE) training with cost savings over those associated with currently established classroom based schemes.
The course has been demonstrated to hold the attention of the candidate and improve knowledge retention while making the learning a more enjoyable experience. Comments from both candidates and management has been completely positive.
