New Level 5 NVQ Diploma

From£1999.00 + VAT per delegate

Aims and Objectives

We firmly believe the new 'Level 5 NVQ Diploma in OH&SP’ that has replaced the Occupational Health and Safety NVQ Level 4 course, is the best route to Chartered membership of IOSH (CMIOSH) for experienced health and safety managers / officers / advisers. It is work-based and practical, and relies on evidence from your job.

A National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) is a qualification that allows candidates to learn, develop and practise the skills required for employment and/or career progression within the health and safety sector. Unlike traditional qualifications that rely on teaching and examinations, NVQs use performance on the job as a basis for assessment.

These NVQ Occupational Health and Safety Practice qualifications are for people who are actively involved in the practice or management of health and safety as part of their job or role. The Institution of Occupational Safety & Health (IOSH) accepts these qualifications for membership at Graduate level (GradIOSH) and upon completion of their Initial Professional Development (IPD) programme, candidates can achieve Chartered level membership (CMIOSH). The International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM) accept this qualification for full Member status (MIIRSM).

This is a highly practical programme, and one of our tutors will assist you to build a portfolio which meets the requirements of City and Guilds for their Level 5 NVQ Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety Practice. Our approach is flexible and personal, and we structure our programme of mentoring and assistance to suit your needs as a busy practitioner.
