When it was founded in 1991, BSS had the express intention of taking on the established ‘old boys club’ of existing consultancy and training organisations. As such, unlike all of our competitors at the time, we were again first in publishing our examination results as we are happy and proud to be judged by our results, not with vague statements BUT WITH FACTS!

In 2013, BSS held 25 NEBOSH Certificate Level courses worldwide with a total of 275 delegates. Of these 83% gained their NEBOSH qualification. 75% of students who sat their NEBOSH courses with BSS gained either a Credit or Distinction. Additionally, of all the students who passed these NEBOSH Certificate level courses with BSS 84% achieved either a Credit or Distinction.

When comparing our service with others, ask them to put their results in writing, then compare our prices and results with theirs. We look forward to seeing you soon!

BSS is proud of their exciting development of services in the provision of Health, Safety, and Environmental, (HSE), training and consultancy. With 9 regional offices, UK, Qatar, Dubai, Yemen and China, with our two most recent offices now open in Algeria and Libya. BSS also has representative offices in Kuwait and Pakistan, BSS is active in a total of 35 countries, with 3 more International health and safety projects in the pipeline for 2014.
