After the training a simple course review questionnaire will be emailed to you – usually when the certificates are issued. We find that we get the best insights once delegates have had time to reflect on the experience. We read all feedback and act on it to improve our training offering.

You can read reviews for all our courses on the website.  Here you will find comments such as:

• ‘Rather than coming away from a training course feeling like I simply “ticked the box”, I came away enthused to continue training in this area and with a foundation mindset to use in conjunction with the course materials.’
• ‘I could apply what I learnt straight away the next day at work, and it proved to be very beneficial.’
• ‘Thanks to you and the tutors for all your help and guidance in getting me through the ISO9001 Lead Auditors course/exam. I cannot thank Bywater enough, as the help and guidance received has been second to none, and I will certainly be promoting you guys in any way that I can.’

This provides the delegate with overnight accommodation for each intervening night of the training course and includes breakfast and lunch. All rooms include an en-suite. Many of our venues have added comforts such as onsite gyms and swimming pools.

There is also the option to book an extra night the day before or after the course starts at an additional cost. Should you require an additional night please contact the Training Team on 0333 123 9001.

The course does cover how organisations can meet the requirements of the UK government’s Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS).

However, the main focus is on the requirements of ISO 50001:2018 and the implementation of an energy management system in any organisation in any sector, regardless of location.

Certificates are included within the course fee and are provided to all delegates who complete the training.
