Some kind words from our clients
“Like many busy working professionals time is short and I wanted to complete my PIEMA Environmental Certificate in my own time, on the job. Doing so via a distance learning course was a great option for me as it meant I didn’t have to take time away from work to travel.
“I had a great experience during the course. I’m glad I had Charburn in my corner for support when required. This is the second distance learning course I’ve studied - the other was with an alternative provider - and this has been by far the better experience. A really good learning programme throughout.”
“The course has been really enjoyable and I’d recommend it to others. Although I initially chose this route to avoid exams, I think that the need to continually reflect on my experiences and outputs within my current role has helped me develop in a way that a more traditional route would not have done. Demonstrating my knowledge alongside my experiences was really useful as everything was applied rather than theory led.”
“I would definitely recommend this course to others. The main benefit to me was the flexibility the course offered. It would not have been possible for me to complete the course in a classroom due to the time commitment required and the time away from work. My experience with Charburn has been very positive, the assessors were excellent; they reviewed my submissions quickly and provided very helpful feedback and encouragement.”
“Over the last 10 years I have worked with Charburn in various roles. In this time they have provided valuable expertise and support in identifying resource efficiency measures, training staff, helping us to meet our obligations under the Packaging Waste Regulations and to remain legal compliant. Charburn is now helping us to implement ISO 14001:2015 and gain Gold Standard M&S supplier status. They are professional and personable and I would not hesitate in recommending them.”
“I confidently recommend Charburn for their knowledge and expertise in quality, environmental and health and safety management systems. Charburn have worked with our team, facilitating discussions and projects that has led to them providing us with not only an Integrated Management System but has assisted in the successful completion of our transition to the new ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 standards, and implementing ISO 45001. Without a doubt I recommend Charburn for their expertise, their professionalism, timekeeping and quality of work. Charburn has been a pleasure to work with and is continuing to provide us with support, providing guidance to some newly appointed ‘quality’ and ‘health and safety’ professionals in delivering internal audits.”
