Katherina Thomas was looking to refresh and continue her NEBOSH education to help her better perform in her role as Health, Safety and Maintenance Officer. Here is Katherina’s story in her own words:
My IOSH mentor Brod Paul and I decided that the [NEBOSH] Fire Certificate would be a great starting point to bring my NEBOSH education up to date. I chose RRC because they offered me an excellent package that was affordable, allowing me to self-fund my education and study online in my own time whilst holding down a full time job.
I decided to do the new NEBOSH Fire Certificate which has been a challenge but rewarding at the same time. The NEBOSH Fire Safety has reconnected me with my Science background and updated my knowledge and ability. The course is well structured split into Fire risk assessment practical and written exam and it captures all the necessary skills to assess why Fire Safety is so important for competence.
I failed my exam on my first go, but had incredible support from Eva Ainscough who is my course tutor (RRC) and Jonathan Backhouse who has also supported me with so much encouragement to ensure I had a better understanding of the way the questions were structured and backing up my answers with legislation, knowledge, research and skills from my experience and course content.
I have Successfully passed my NEBOSH Fire Certificate and am proud of myself for not giving up. I am grateful to the RRC team for all your support, material, exam preparation, excellent course tutors who have gone over and above for me and other students on the course. I am now looking forward to furthering my education with RRC for my NEBOSH Diploma level 6 in Health and Safety.
