Knowledgeable, supportive tutors are a consistent strength, with attendees praising clear explanations, real-world examples and helpful guidance throughout their learning. They find the training informative, well structured and often practical, with site visits and face-to-face sessions helping connect theory to workplace responsibilities. Flexible online study suits people in full-time roles, while responsive staff provide strong assessment and technical support. Some feel the online material is text-heavy and would benefit from more interactive content, but learners broadly apply the knowledge confidently at work.

Completing the Level 3 Certificate in Safety, Health and Environmental Knowledge has been a genuinely valuable experience for me. I would like to say a big thank you for all the help, guidance and support I received throughout the course. From start to finish, I felt well supported and encouraged, which made the whole learning process much smoother and more enjoyable. I have learned a great deal during this course, and it has significantly expanded my knowledge of health, safety and environmental management. It really opened my eyes to many small but very important details that play a huge role in day-to-day work. As a Quarry Foreman, I now have a much better understanding of how attention to detail, risk awareness and proper procedures directly impact safety and efficiency on site. Special thanks go to Tom Felix, who was my assessor. He was excellent throughout the course — very knowledgeable, supportive and always available when I needed help or clarification. His approach made the learning process clear, practical and confidence-building. I am confident that this qualification will have a positive impact on my career and help me grow further in my role. I truly believe that every yard manager or supervisor should complete a course like this, as the knowledge gained is not only relevant but essential in real working environments. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their safety knowledge, develop professionally and take a more responsible and proactive approach to health and safety at work. Thank you.

I recently completed the Quarry Operation Supervision course from IQ, and it was an excellent learning experience. The course provided deep insights into quarry operations, safety compliance, and best practices for optimizing productivity. The practical approach and structured modules have significantly enhanced my technical and leadership skills, which I am already applying in my role. I highly recommend this program to professionals looking to strengthen their expertise in quarry management.

For the venue and location, I am unable to comment much since I am doing the course online. But from the presentation of the 1st tutorial the place looked quite good.

Excellent course which would benefit quarry operators and managers, not just explosives users. Topics covered are relevant to the whole mineral extraction process, not just D&B. Very informative regarding subjects such as ethics, sustainability, legal compliance and downstream benefits.

I had some issues submitting assessments. But Kerry Froggett was an absolute legend with all her IT support and converting my work to PHF. She has been a great help to me and always friendly and available to help with anything.
