I had a very good learning experience with I Competent and successfully completed nine HSE-related courses through their platform. The courses were informative, well-structured and relevant to real-world Health, Safety and Environmental practices. The content helped me improve my knowledge of workplace safety, risk assessment, hazard identification, incident investigation and legal responsibilities.
