Will Taylor looking panicked with HATE and Will Taylor having fun with LOVE

We have a LOVE/HATE relationship with health and safety online courses.

Sometimes, it’s a lot easier to talk about what you don’t like instead of what you do like.
So here’s a quick rundown of what we do NOT want or want our courses to be. Hover your mouse over the boxes to see what we love to be and love to see.

What we HATE and what we LOVE…

We HATE...

Will Taylor Looking Bored at a Desk

Boring

Health and Safety is a dry enough subject without making it even drier. Please can someone inject some personality and humour into online health and safety courses?

We LOVE...

Will Taylor having fun at work

Fun

We want people studying our health and safety online courses to have fun. If you have fun, you tend to remember the experience and course content.

We HATE...

Pointlessness

Online training is often done for box-ticking compliance purposes. We hate that. It feels pointless. Click, click, click, pass the test, get the ticket, job done, back to bloody work! Forget everything you learned.

We LOVE...

Real world improvements

Our online health and safety courses generate real change and make the world a better place. We inspire, we persuade, we influence. The people we train save lives and prevent ill health.

We HATE...

Will Taylor looking frustrated with a broken laptop and the words Making Things Harder

Things that are harder than they need to be

It’s like some psycho web designer or eLearning designer has deliberately designed the site to be difficult to use and hard to find things. These courses are hard enough without making things impossible to find.

We LOVE...

Things to be slick and easy

We like things to be easy and we like to make them easy. We have the user in mind at all times. And we’re constantly trying to create ways to make things work well first time.

We HATE...

Laziness

We’re embarassed by the lack of effort in parts of the “compliance” eLearning industry. Out of date courses, or courses copied and pasted from books. Computer generated voiceovers. Cheap animations…

We LOVE...

Passion and care

We’re the underdogs. The start-up. We’re small. So we have to try harder! The only way we can succeed is by making the world’s best online health and safety courses which generate real results.

We HATE...

Anonymous tutoring

Great.. My tutor is tutor@tutorsupport.com. When I email them, I get an automated response saying they will reply within 5 working days. And even then, they take 7 days.

We LOVE...

Will Taylor eating a corn on the cob with the words a personal touch

A personal touch

We’re all human at Compassa and we recognise our learners as humans. We’re friendly, personable, professional, and bloody helpful. We like to make personal connections with our learners.

We HATE...

Rip-off charges and small print

Some online health and safety courses have “expiry” dates. Meaning if you do not finish the course, the access expires and you have to pay extra fees to extend your access.

We LOVE...

Playing fair and nice

We treat people the way we would like to be treated. We provide clear, simple, upfront terms and conditions and pricing We give the benefit of any doubt to the learner. We take responsibility for issues.

What Gets Us Out of Bed in the Morning?

We’re setting a higher standard in the health and safety eLearning industry. We want to build and deliver online courses that are FUN (because if it’s fun, you will remember and be impacted by the content), EFFECTIVE (as in, it actually makes a real difference to people’s live), and INTERACTIVE (you’re active and participating in the course, building new skills, and not just clicking “Next” repeatedly like a mindless zombie).

Our mission statement is very simple and highly ambitious:

“We make online health and safety courses that are better than their classroom alternatives.”

“Impossible!” I hear you say. Not so fast. Here’s a quick blog post and video explaining what can go wrong with classroom training.

“It’s like a classroom environment BUT you can do it when you have the time!“

Pete Kenningham described our NEBOSH Incident Investigation online course as “like a classroom environment BUT you can do it when you have the time and that’s a big benefit.”
Exactly!
Show me the course!

“This eLearning course has delivered at a greater impact than a classroom course.”
