About Wise Global Training
Wise Global Training was set up when its founders realised that whilst eLearning was a modern, efficient and cost-effective alternative to classroom-based health and safety training, the quality of what was on offer in the general marketplace left a lot to be desired.
We have invested heavily in developing suites of e-learning training courses, which have had to meet our self-imposed high-quality standards as well as those of NEBOSH and IOSH. We recognised from the very beginning that much of what was on offer from other providers was written by trainers with the trainers needs in mind. We have written our material from the perspective of what you need and how you can best engage with the subject and the course material used to cover that subject.
That resolution and determination are reflected in the courses we offer today, where we continue to view you as the most important part of the equation of transferring knowledge.
