"I'm very happy and satisfied. The materials on the website were very clear and straight forward.

It also helped me in my job role as it included the risk assessment processes plus identifying hazards and risks, but the most important part was prioritising the risks and their corrective actions which I learned in (CG3), and the importance of the organization's policy.
Thank you again for the great materials that your website provided and the online tutoring with
question examples"
