“I’m supporting other delegates with NEBOSH”
David Moores’ NEBOSH National General Certificate Success
A spark of inspiration on site
When David Moores began work as a contracted loading shovel driver in 2022, he had no idea that the job would ignite a whole new passion. One that would transform his career trajectory.
“When I started working as a contracted Loading Shovel Driver for my current customer in May 2022, their approach to safety immediately resonated with me. I developed a passion for the subject and self-funded my NEBOSH National General Certificate as a result.”
Choosing to take the next step.
David wasn’t content just to follow procedures — he wanted to understand them. That drive led him to invest in his own learning and take the NEBOSH National General Certificate with Compassa.
A new role, a bigger impact
David’s dedication didn’t go unnoticed. With the qualification under his belt, he was entrusted with greater responsibility and became a trusted figure on site, helping others stay safe and stay compliant.
“Since achieving the General Certificate, our client has entrusted me with the significant responsibility of supporting with contractor management and active safety monitoring onsite.”
“I have contributed significantly to a 1,650 days (and counting) LTI-free period and am actively involved in coaching others through their safety journey — even supporting other delegates with their NEBOSH learning!”
Learning that fits around real life
For David, one of the biggest advantages of studying with Compassa was how accessible and engaging the course was, even from the cab of his machine.
“I found the presentation of the information to be highly engaging, even humorous at times, and being able to study anywhere (even in my machine) was a massive plus point.”
“I have contributed significantly to a 1,650 days (and counting) LTI-free period and am actively involved in coaching others through their safety journey.”
Putting knowledge into action, every day
With the knowledge and tools from the course, David now applies what he’s learned on a daily basis. And more importantly, he sees the results in the people around him.
“Most definitely, my confidence and skills have improved. I am in a position where I am implementing the skills acquired from my NEBOSH course on a daily basis and am seeing demonstrable results from my influence on others.”
David’s Recommendation
Here’s what David says to others considering the NEBOSH qualification with Compassa
David hasn’t stopped at one qualification. Inspired by the construction-specific elements of the course, he went on to complete the NEBOSH Construction Certificate too. His advice to others is simple:
“I would certainly recommend this course to anyone looking to develop their skills in health & safety. The course covers a wide range of topics from law to management systems and can be applied in most working environments.”
“Given the industry I work in, I was particularly interested in the construction and CDM elements, going on to further my learning by completing the NEBOSH Construction Certificate.”
