18. Wise Global Training complaint procedure – a guide for students
We are committed to providing excellent education and high-quality services to our students from enrolment to awarding of the certificate. We value complaints and use information learnt from them to help us improve the student experience. If something goes wrong or you are dissatisfied with what we are providing, please tell us – you should feel free to raise matters of concern without risk of disadvantage. This leaflet describes our complaint procedure and how to make a complaint.
What is a complaint?
We regard a complaint as any expression of dissatisfaction about our action or lack of action, or about the standard of service provided by us or on our behalf.
What can I complain about?
You can complain about things like:
the quality and standard of any service we provide
failure to provide a service
the quality of our facilities or learning resources
unfair treatment or inappropriate behaviour by a student or staff member.
the failure of Wise Global Training to follow an appropriate administrative process
dissatisfaction with Wise Global Trainings’ policies
Your complaint may involve more than one aspect of the above, more than one department, or be about someone working on our behalf.
What can’t I complain about?
There are some things we can’t deal with through our complaint handling procedure. These include:
a routine, first-time request for a service
a request under Freedom of Information or Data Protection legislation
a request for information or an explanation of policy or practice
an appeal about an academic decision on assessment or admission
an issue which is being, or has been, considered by a court or tribunal
a request for compensation only
an attempt to have a complaint reconsidered where we have already given our final decision following an investigation.
We will not normally treat information received through routine feedback mechanisms – such as responses to questionnaires – as complaints.
If other procedures or rights of appeal may help you resolve your concerns, we will give information and advice to help you.
Who can complain?
Anyone who receives, requests or is directly affected by the services of Wise Global Training can make a complaint to us. We encourage anyone with a complaint to approach us directly, but can accept a complaint made on your behalf (e.g. through a representative, a friend or a family member) provided you give us your clear written authority to liaise with your representative, and provided you also give them clear authority to act on your behalf.
How do I complain?
You can complain in person, by phone, in writing, or by email. It is easier for us to resolve complaints if you raise them as soon as you become aware of the issue, and directly to the service concerned. Please talk to a member of staff within the department you are complaining about so that they can try to resolve any problems on the spot.
When complaining, tell us:
your full name and address
as much as you can about the complaint
what has gone wrong
how you would like us to resolve the matter.
Is there a time limit for making a complaint?
Normally, you must make your complaint within six months of:
the issue arising, or
finding out that you have a reason to complain.
In exceptional circumstances, we may be able to accept a complaint after the time limit. If you feel that the time limit should not apply to your complaint, please tell us why.
What will happen if I complain?
Our complaint procedure has two stages:
Stage 1 – Front-line Resolution
We aim to resolve complaints quickly and close to where we provided the service. This could mean an on-the-spot apology and explanation if something has clearly gone wrong, and immediate action to resolve the problem. Where possible, you should raise your concerns with the relevant staff member. This can be done face-to-face, by phone, in writing or by email.
We will give you our decision at Stage 1 within five working days unless there are exceptional circumstances.
If you are not satisfied with the response we give at this stage, we will tell you what you can do next. If you choose to, you can take your complaint to Stage 2 of the complaint procedure. You may choose to do this immediately or shortly after you get our initial decision.
Stage 2 – Complaint Investigation
Stage 2 deals with two types of complaints: those that have not been resolved at Stage 1 and those that are complex and require detailed investigation. These should be put in writing although we will also accept complaints that are made in person or on the phone, we encourage you to complete the complaint in writing in the interests of clarity and in order to best assist the investigation process. The complaint and any supporting documents will be seen by the person investigating your complaint, by anyone named in the complaint and by relevant staff in the department(s) being complained about.
When using Stage 2 we will:
acknowledge receipt of your complaint within three working days and tell you who is dealing with your complaint
discuss your complaint with you to understand why you remain dissatisfied and what outcome you are looking for
give you a full response to the complaint as soon as possible and within 20 working days.
If our investigation will take longer than 20 working days, we will tell you. We will agree on revised time limits with you and keep you updated on progress.
NEBOSH Specific Complaints
At the conclusion of our internal complaints procedure, if you are still not satisfied with the outcome, you may escalate your complaint directly to NEBOSH. The complaints procedure is located on the NEBOSH website.
At the conclusion of the NEBOSH complaints process, if the NEBOSH qualification is accredited by SQA Accreditation and the assessment to place within the UK, you may also seek regulatory advice from SQA Accreditation. Further information on the NEBOSH website.
Pass Guarantee

If you take your exam within the first year and you do not pass, we will continue to support you until you do. You will have access to the course and tutor support for as long as it takes you to pass the course.
Price Match Guarantee
If you find it cheaper, we will match or beat the price. All you have to do is give us a link to the website that has the cheaper price or provide a written quote from the other course provider. We reserve the right to further investigate upon submission of your request.
