Training & Development

At EEF, we think experience counts. So our team of tutors includes Principal Examiners from NEBOSH and IOSH as well as the people who write the exams that you sit. They combine real-life, practical experience with expert knowledge to bring our training sessions alive.

It’s why our pass rates are consistently higher than the national average.

Rest assured, when you choose EEF you will benefit from a great learning environment at our 12 fully-equipped training centres located across the country. And if you choose to study at one of our residential centres, you can even stay overnight.

We hope you’ll agree that great courses, great trainers and great results equals great value. But if you’re still not sure, just read what one of our delegates had to say...

“EEF tutors bring training sessions alive with expert industry knowledge and practical examples. Together with the fantastic learning environment I got the results I wanted”

Tailored learning & development programmes

If you need to train a group of employees, are looking for a staff-wide development programme or have a one-off skills requirement - we can create what you’re looking for.

Many of our open courses can be delivered on site at your premises. We can also build bespoke training programmes that focus on your unique business needs. We can build your own documents, case studies and philosophies into the course, and everyone in a team can be trained together.

And because of the breadth of our training knowledge, we can blend elements of employment law, health, safety and environment, leadership and people development training and consultancy to create unique programmes that help tackle your business pains.

In-company. Invaluable.

We can also make the most of your location by carrying out practical training exercises – the completion of an inspection or risk assessment for example – where your people actually work.

You might want to implement a new sickness absence policy for example – we can create a complete training course around it, and use it to train your line managers and change the work culture in your organisation.

In-company learning gives your people the real life experience they need and ensures that their learning is firmly embedded in your business.
