What is Blended Learning:

Blended learning is a powerful training solution that combines e-learning with a classroom environment for a superior learning experience.

Why take one item from the menu when you can have the buffet?

Enter blended learning. If you know how to choose your servings wisely, you will come away from the table more satisfied, with improved results and a much higher return on your training investment. If you choose unwisely, there are consequences that may slow your progress or even stop it in its tracks.

Four stages of learning

• Stage 1: Initial knowledge and website orientation
• Stage 2: Increased knowledge via eLearning
• Stage 3: Revision workshop
• Stage 4: Examination

Blended learning represents an effective and proven learning model. It capitalizes on the strengths and benefits of technology-based training as well as the classic classroom environment.

Introduction
SHEilds was first established in 1995 by its founder Mike Shields. For the most part Mike concentrated on offering a quality local consultancy service and building a local client base. In the background Mike was developing the SHEilds websites for the future.

In December 2002 Mike incorporated the company and was joined by Mike Watson. Between them they have built a successful business that operates in several countries around the world.

In 2005, just 10 years after the foundation of SHEilds Ltd, they founded SHEilds (ME) Ltd with offices based in the heart of Dubai and where joined by a new Director for this venture, Professor Peter Barnet Schuster.

We offer a comprehensive range of safety, health, environmental and hygiene services and training packages. We aim to ensure that our clients maximize their business potential through reducing lost time accidents, ill health, legal costs and insurance costs.

We work on a consultancy basis with many organisations including, engineering, construction, rail, chemical, and care and retail sectors. We also support other health and safety consultancies, acting as their health, safety, environmental and hygiene specialists.

SHEilds have a capacity building programme that allows businesses to build health and safety competence from within their organisation. We work alongside managers and staff, supporting them at all levels and when required acting as our clients named competent specialist within pertinent legal documents.

Thank you for taking the time to read about SHEilds Ltd

The eLearning programme is designed to contain all the features of a standard classroom learning programme but is complemented by a series of interactive web activities, resources and assessments. The benefits of eLearning are that you can choose the time and days of the week to study, geographical location isn’t an issue, in fact we have many international candidates on our eLearning programmes, greater flexibility to further study areas, which may be unfamiliar to you and to view examples of real case studies for each subject, the full support of our tutor moderated NEBOSH support forum. Remember; although you are not in a classroom there is still plenty of interaction through our forums, group exercise and discussions, all of which enhances your success.

Inside your eLearning environment you will be provided with a course timetable advising you which topics should be studied each week. There is flexibility built into this timetable in terms of when and where you study, but it is designed to ensure you are fully prepared for the final NEBOSH examination and assessment.

Throughout your NEBOSH eLearning course you will be fully supported by our team of expert tutors, available when you need them.

Applicants will also be responsible for payment for food, accommodation, course books, material, travel and subsistence. Claimants are reminded that they should not part with any money until they have received their Claim Authorisations Note.
