Woodward SHE

Hi Tom,

I'll be straight — this is a cold approach. We build bespoke training management platforms for accredited training providers.

I came across Woodward SHE while looking at NEBOSH and IOSH training centres in the UK and put this page together to show what we actually noticed.

What we found — The business

You've built one of the UK's most respected NEBOSH and IOSH training centres over 25 years

Founded in 2000 and based in Workington, Cumbria — NEBOSH, IOSH, CITB, Highfield, City & Guilds and more. Training delivered both from your centre and on-site across the UK. Family-run, long-established, and clearly trusted: 25 years of repeat business is the proof.

The fact that you're described as one of the UK's largest NEBOSH and IOSH training centres means you've built something significant — and significant training operations tend to outgrow generic systems.

Something we noticed — Back office

Multiple accreditations, a training centre and UK-wide on-site delivery — what holds that together?

You're managing NEBOSH course schedules, IOSH bookings, CITB funded training, Highfield courses and City & Guilds programmes — each with their own delegate requirements, certification processes and compliance records. Add on-site delivery across the UK and that's a complex coordination challenge.

In training businesses at your scale, this typically runs across a mix of course booking software, spreadsheets and email — working well until demand spikes or a trainer calls in sick on a busy week.

A question — Certificate management

How are delegate records, certificates and CITB grant claims managed?

With CITB approval comes the administrative responsibility of tracking delegate eligibility, course completions and grant claim submissions. For a training centre running multiple programmes year-round, managing that across spreadsheets carries real compliance risk.

Positive — 25 years of trust

The reputation is there — it's the systems that usually lag behind in businesses like yours

The businesses we build training management platforms for are typically exactly at your stage: well-established, well-respected, running on manual processes that work but consume significant admin time. The platform doesn't change how you train — it takes the admin off your team's plate.

What we could help with

  • Course booking system — live availability, online booking and payment
  • Delegate management — registration, pre-course comms and attendance records
  • Certificate generation — automated on completion, for each accreditation type
  • CITB grant tracking — delegate eligibility and claim submission records
  • Trainer scheduling — workload across centre and on-site bookings
  • Renewal reminders — automated alerts for expiring qualifications
