For organisations that work in safety-critical industries we offer specialist training courses, as well as the online Safety English Test (SET). These services help our clients ensure all staff have the language competence needed to communicate safely in English in the workplace.
Customised tests and courses
Examples of courses developed:
- Golden Rules of English - for a major Oil & Gas IOC
- Offshore Maritime Assessment - for an international service company
- English for NEBOSH - supporting a technical training organisation
The Safety English Test (SET) is an online English Language competency test, designed specifically to assess English language skills where the health and safety of workers is critical.
The SET can be used to screen applicants during recruitment processes, as an end goal for training programmes, and also to verify skills of existing staff (language audits).
Many of our customers now mandate the use of SET in staffing their safety-critical projects, ranging from oil and gas installations in the Middle East to recycling plants across the UK.
