A good interesting course.

Rachael was very helpful in assisting with setting up the online course. Some of us had never been on an online course before so this was much appreciated. Our course trainer "Ray" was great from start to finish. He had considerable knowledge from within the construction industry and was able to deliver a interesting course. Because of this it was easy to keep us motivated over the two-day SSST course.

Course was good and Dan did a great job at keeping us engaged throughout a long week. The course should be a lot shorter as there is not much more to it than the SSSTS. Also, shout out to Rachael, any tech issues were fixed without any delay.

Dan B was the instructor for the SMSTS thro GTE, spot on great guy delivered the course and enabled my 100% score, easy to get on with and any tech issues that arose were dealt with efficiently thro Rachel H.
Thanks.
The only critique, 5 days for this course could well be achieved in 3 days, thankfully Dan was able to keep us all interested with his tunnelling experiences.

Can't recommend enough - 10/10

Dan was a pleasure to have taking the Health & Safety Awareness course today! Thanks to the pacing, comfortable tone, and clear explanations I was able to achieve full marks on the final examination. The material was important, and engaging without being too overwhelming with a good mix of scenarios, photos and videos throughout. Thank you also to Rachael for her up-beat tone and making everyone feel immediately at ease upon entering the call, as well as clear guidance and praise given when it was examination time. Can not recommend GTE enough!

We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Health & Safety Awareness course and that Dan’s pacing, delivery, and explanations helped you feel confident going into the exam — achieving full marks is a fantastic result, well done!

Making everyone feel welcome and supported from the outset is something we place a lot of importance on.

Thank you again — we really appreciate your support and hope to work with you again in the future.
