Building local capacity

Safety skills for small businesses

In partnership with EACOP and Schneider Electric, SCL is proud to equip selected SMEs with the Highfield Level 2 International Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace.

Giving back to the community · NEBOSH GIC

From the Albertine Graben to careers in safety

As part of our commitment to giving back to the communities we work in, SCL trained 10 members of the local community in the Albertine Graben, at the heart of Uganda’s oil and gas region, in the NEBOSH International General Certificate (GIC).

Our partner SLB helped us identify deserving beneficiaries from the local community, and SCL delivered the training. The delegates gained an internationally recognised safety qualification on their doorstep. Since qualifying, they have gone on to grow their careers in occupational safety and health, taking on bigger roles and responsibilities. That is the lasting, local impact we want our work to leave behind.

Learner stories

What our learners say

Smart Compliance has been an outstanding partner for NEBOSH IGC 1 and 2. Their learner-focused approach simplifies complex concepts, making them easier to grasp, especially for adult learners. With my NEBOSH certification, I am now confident in promoting safer, more compliant workplaces.
Rockfell Opolot OpedunUMEME Limited, Uganda
The NEBOSH International General Certificate was transformative. Real-life examples from our instructor kept sessions engaging and focused on risk management and regulatory compliance. The hands-on risk assessment was especially valuable, applying theory to real-world scenarios.
Afonso Daniel MachecaLecturer and Researcher, Eduardo Mondlane University, Maputo
My special thanks go to CS_OGET (Mozambique) and Smart Compliance (Uganda) for the rich and valuable learning experience. After hard work I feel happy, but I also know that there is much to be done, as the time has come to implement what I have learned.
