They have both been excellent courses with very good instructors, and the communication with the organisers are second to none. A special thanks to Melody who kept me up to date and informed on my upcoming training!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently Booked an IOSH Health and Safety Course through Samson.  Samson did not directly provide the training but I found them easy and reliable to deal through they found a course provider to best suit my requirements. I really enjoyed the course and the course instructor through her own experience was able to provide real life examples of Health and Safety Issues. There was interaction with Q & A’s between different sections of the course which kept the course interesting.
