FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How will I learn?

National Safety Academy courses are designed to take you on a learning journey supported with real-life examples, case studies, videos, e-learnings and more. Our learning materials use everyday language that just makes sense - the first time you read it.

You can navigate through the course content in your learning portal online or, if you'd prefer, request a study book so you can work through a physical copy.

It's your learning journey, so do it your way.

Can I start at any time?

Our courses are self-directed which means you can enrol and get started on any day, at any time. 

How will I be assessed?

All National Safety Academy assessments are based on real-life tasks that you might have to undertake in a relevant job role. There's no need to hit 'buzz words' or figure out how to answer exam-style questions, just answer in the same way you would at work.

The number and type of assessments you are required to complete will vary by course.

Can I book on a face-to-face course?

National Safety Academy courses have been developed specifically with self-directed, distance learning in mind. At this time, we don't have any classroom-based learning partners.

How is my assessment graded?

Your assessment will receive either a 'Pass' or 'Refer' grade from the assessor.

We don't use an averaged points or percentage based system. You'll need to demonstrate you can competently complete every task you are given to a sufficient standard that would not give rise to risk of serious injury, death, or enforcement action.

What tutor support does NSA have?

You didn't think we'd make you go at it alone, did you? Our dedicated tutor support is available five days per week via the forums. Each course also has a weekly Q&A webinar led by your tutor, so you can ask questions (or post them anonymously!) to be discussed as a group.

Plus, with our awesome community forums you can ask and answer questions amongst your peers at any time.

What is the NSA community?

We are a united group of professionals passionate about driving up standards to keep our colleagues and communities safe. 

Within the community, we share real-life experiences, safety concerns, and tips for best practice. Our community is a place for shared learning and support whether that's from peers, subject-matter experts, or through one of our courses.

Do I need to be an NSA student to join?

Absolutely not! Our community is free and open to all - whether you're a seasoned professional or simply have a safety-related problem at work you need guidance on, you're welcome here.
