The National Safety Passport Gains University Accreditation

Industrial sites and employers accepting individuals who have qualified from the National Safety Passport computer based training program have now benefited from another reassurances that their staff have the wisdom and expertise to work without endangering safety in a hazard laden environment.

The National Safety Passport computer based training program from Cognition Media has received endorsement from Teesside University. Candidates have qualified from the National Safety Passport will now not only be bestowed with 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 another university qualification.

This new development shows the National Safety Passport’s standing as an academic as well as a professional qualification further quanifying the high quality instruction in industrial health and safety that is delivered.

The program is totally transportable allowing candidates to fit it in around their other duties. No more need for days away from the job, travelling or overnight costs; a definate plus in the present 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 the low cost 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 emulate employer’s mandatory requirements for the provision of safety, health and environment (SHE) training with cost savings over those associated with more traditional classroom delivered schemes.

The course has been validated to hold the attention of the candidate and improve knowledge retention while making the learning a more enjoyable experience. Reviews from both trainees and management has been overwhelmingly positive.
