“I would definitely take this course again.” Why participants are so enthusiastic about the NBN courses.

How good are NBN's training courses really? We could tell you ourselves, but we'd rather let the participants do the talking. They followed a training course on ISO 9001 , ISO 14001 , ISO 45001 , ISO/IEC 27001 or ISO/IEC 17025 - from exploratory e-learning to in-depth master tracks - and gave us their honest opinion afterwards. The conclusion? Professionals from all kinds of sectors are remarkably satisfied. And we're not just saying that: they give high scores en masse and leave remarkably positive comments.

More than satisfied

Let's start with the numbers. NBN's courses receive an average score of 8.5 to even 9.4 out of 10. Especially the master tracks - now replaced by the implementor and internal auditor trajectories – stand out. For example, the ISO 14001 Mastertrack (environmental management) scored an impressive 9.4 on general satisfaction, and the mastertrack around ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety) also received a high score.

But grades are only part of the story. Above all, it is the personal feedback that shows what participants really think of the courses.

"Learned a lot in a short time"

Participants praise the courses because they can be applied immediately in practice. “This course taught me a lot,” writes someone about the ISO 9001 Mastertrack . Another says: “I found it an interesting and interactive course with many practical examples.”

The balance between theory and practice is also pleasing. "There was not too much repetition and I found the exercises very instructive," writes a participant in the Internal Audit course. Or again, "You are encouraged to think for yourself and be critical, which I found very strong."

Teachers make a difference

A frequent compliment goes to the instructors. Their experience and commitment really make a difference. "The trainer gave very clear explanations and created a nice atmosphere," it sounds. And, "The trainer is a crack at his job. He makes the material engaging and accessible."

The interaction during the sessions also receives praise: participants appreciate that there is room for questions, exchange and debate. “I liked that our cases were listened to and that we received answers that help us move forward in practice,” says a participant of the ISO 45001 Mastertrack .

An offer for every level

NBN offers training at three levels:

• Explore r : e-learnings that you follow at your own pace, ideal for those new to the world of standards.

• Implementor : master tracks in which you learn step by step how to apply a standard in your organisation .

• Internal Auditor : specialized training courses in which you learn how to perform internal audits in accordance with standard requirements.

That structure is resonating. Participants appreciate that they can get in at their own level, and grow to a deeper expertise. "Good structure, clear explanations and room for personal input," writes a satisfied course participant.

Would you recommend this course to colleagues?

A striking statistic: an overwhelming majority of participants answered a resounding "yes" to this question. The trainings are not only instructive, but also motivating. "I'm glad I took this training," writes one participant. "It was intensive, but I feel much more confident in my role now."

Or as someone summed it up nicely:

"I would take this course again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended for those who really want to understand what standards mean in practice."
