Bentley Motors: Steering towards success
Discover how our relationship with Bentley Motors embraced innovative ways to train and improve throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Course
Background
Bentley Motors Limited (Bentley) is a British manufacturer and marketer of luxury cars and SUVs, and a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group since 1998.
Headquartered in Crewe, England, the company was founded as Bentley Motors Limited by W. O. Bentley in 1919 in Cricklewood, North London, and became widely known after winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1924, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930.
Challenges
Astutis are very proud to have supported Bentley with health, safety, and environment (HSE) training services since 2016. As a prestige motor vehicle manufacturer renowned for the quality of their product, the Bentley reputation aligns well to Astutis’ own pursuit of excellence within our training services operations.
As the global leader of accredited HSE training and an approved supplier to Bentley, Astutis have supported the facilitation of accredited IOSH, NEBOSH and IEMA training. This support has included NEBOSH General Certificate and National Diploma, IEMA Foundation and Certificate in Environmental Management, IOSH Safety for Executives and Directors and Managing Safely training courses.
Well before the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic and given Bentley’s willingness to embrace innovative learning techniques, Bentley elected to run a trial of our online (e-learning) IOSH Managing Safely training course, with the objective of trial success being a wider roll out of the training across the Production Maintenance function. The initial trial was very successful, with excellent course pass marks and delegate feedback received, which led to the wider training roll out continuing as planned.
Results
Our IOSH Managing Safely training has since been rolled out to an extensive number of Bentley colleagues, and the Astutis e-learning course has allowed learners to study on any device 24/7 365. This flexibility of learning has helped to minimise operational disruption, whilst still ensuring that learners have had an excellent and successful learning experience.

"excellent trainer easy to follow and good mixture of team discussions."

"covered a lot of my day to day tasks, easy to follow on the second week, found the first week it difficult to see what was required and understand."
Keith03.04.2025 -
"Very impressed with the training content, it was delivered in a user friendly way and made easy to understand, communication and resources was excellent throughout"
Mark02.04.2025 -
"Lots of detail but delivered in such a way to make it easy to understand, the resources and advice given throughout the course was first class."
Mark02.04.2025 -
"The tutor was excellent, and the course was designed so that the information was easy to digest and understand through real-life scenarios. The problem-based learning approach and active participation in classroom discussions and homework exercises helped me pass the exam on my first attempt."
01.04.2025 -
"The two weeks of comprehensive in-class training, coupled with the gaps between the exams, provided ample time for preparation and reflection on what I learned in the classroom. NG2 was very interesting, and the classroom exercises helped me grasp the theme of assessment, specifically how (RMs) were assessed."

"The online learning portal was easy and straight forward to use, it was well laid out and had fantastic online resource sections which were great for printing out to have to hand - especially handy for highlighting important points. I had purchased the NEBOSH Managing Health and Safety book to help with my study, but in all honesty, the information in the portal covered all the relevant material anyway. I only needed to phone for assistance on a couple of occasions, but found the guidance helpful and quick."

"Having a secondary role at work as a Health and Safety coordinator means passing the NEBOSH General Certificate is a great indication of the knowledge and understanding I have achieved so far. This is a staple qualification in this field and I now have the confidence to venture into Health and Safety in a more primary role and as a progression of career."
