CRS held a prestigious presentation on Friday when they presented the NVQ Student of the Year Award at Silverstone. The award was presented by Bev White, Business Manager for City & Guilds to our winner Kathy Harrison. Kathy a Health & Safety specialist currently employed by CooperVison Manufacturing UK in Hampshire said “The course took longer than I was expecting mainly down to the fact that my laptop failed and I lost all of my course work, which I did not back-up, (a big learning experience).” Kathy then went on to say “I spoke to Richard my assessor who encouraged me to carry on as he said I was more than capable of completing the course.” Kathy used the ‘Learning Assistant’ web based portal to submit her work to her assessor. She says “I had almost finished my course work when the new web-based portal system – Learning Assistant was introduced – I decided to opt into this system. I found it very user friendly and it was much easier storing all my supporting evidence in this way, no more large heavy folders. The system made it much easier to be in contact with my assessor too. I sent an email direct via the portal system and he responded usually the same day”. Finally Kathy said “my overall experience has been a positive one and I am pleased for the support and encouragement given by CRS to help me further my career development”.
Every year CRS like to reward the candidate who has achieved the best results for the year, and nominations are made by CRS Assessors. This year saw eight nominations with very high standards of work being assessed; our judges found it difficult to decide on the winner, but eventually Kathy was chosen
The event held at Sahara Force India was also an opportunity for other students who may be considering furthering their career by taking the NVQ Level 5 Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety considered one of the best routes to Chartered Membership of IOSH, as it is delivered by distance learning and now uses the ‘Learning Assistant’ web base portal.
Jackie Holder a Senior CRS NVQ Assessor and mentor gave an engaging presentation to an audience of delegates from organisations across the Midlands and beyond about how the Diploma can help further your knowledge, develop and progress your career in Health & Safety.
