Ensign welcomed me wholeheartedly and provided me the best coaching.
Today, looking back, I can say that, that decision of mine, to travel through the less chosen path made me different from others and have flying colors in my career.
Nothing would have been possible, if I had not went to Ensign and if I had not taken the course.

HSE Manager, Alturky, Oman

Without doubt, having completed the Lead Auditor course in ISO 45001 at Ensign has undeniably helped me to lead my organisation to higher level of certification. Having an internationally recognized certification as part of my portfolio, gave me the confidence and opportunity to oversee all the safety requirements for an arduous expedition to gain the ISO certification for my organisation. It also enhanced my skill to guide and lead free consultations to the needy professionals
I fully recommend not only to do a course with Ensign Safety Academy, but grabbing any opportunity that comes your way to widen your horizons. Best regards.
