Leeds City College Achieves NEBOSH Silver Learning Partner Status

Posted: December 17, 2024

Leeds City College is proud to announce its recent accreditation as a Silver Learning Partner by the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH). Following a rigorous inspection audit in November, this prestigious upgrade from Bronze status highlights the college’s dedication to exceeding NEBOSH’s principles of learning excellence.

Why Choose NEBOSH?

NEBOSH, a globally recognised accreditation body for health, safety, and environmental qualifications, developed the Learning Partner Programme to help learners find the right training provider. Silver status is awarded to providers who consistently go above and beyond to deliver best practices in education, ensuring exceptional learner experiences.

At Leeds City College, NEBOSH courses are delivered by experienced tutors and cover key areas such as the legal requirements for health and safety, identifying and managing workplace hazards, and applying this knowledge practically. In the most recent NEBOSH examinations, held in October 2024, 100% of the college’s learners successfully passed—a testament to the high quality of training provided.

What Our Leaders Say

The college’s Commercial Course Leader for Compliance and Professional Management, Rhonda Smith, highlighted the importance of this recognition. She emphasised the college’s focus on providing an excellent learning experience, helping students build strong foundations for career growth.  

“My hope for every learner that completes any of our NEBOSH courses with the college, is that they continue to find inspiration in their career path and always feed the hunger of learning.”

Partnership Director Joanne Patrickson reinforced the value of the qualifications in improving workplace health, safety, and environmental standards. 

“The recognition from NEBOSH confirms our status as a leading trainer in the North for quality tuition, innovative delivery, and excellent learner support. The upgrade to Silver status really highlights the success of the course at the college.”
