About this course

The Level 5 NVQ Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety Practice is the UK’s premier vocational qualification designed specifically for safety professionals who want to attain chartered status of IOSH (CMIOSH) through a practical, evidence-based route as opposed to an academic course.

It is intended for those who wish to forge a career in health and safety as advisors, managers or consultants.

There are no entry requirements, but candidates must be aged 19 or over and will need to demonstrate they can produce evidence across the standard by completing our initial assessment prior to being accepted on to the programme.

The qualification meets the academic requirements for Graduate Membership of IOSH. With additional experience and initial professional development, those who get the diploma can also attain Chartered Safety Practitioner status.

Note that candidates who wish to obtain CMIOSH status via exams should consider taking the NEBOSH National Diploma.

Course programme

Initial Assessment and Induction

Before starting these programmes, we require delegates to complete a Self Assessment and Personal Action Plan to identify:

  • Specific training needs
  • Support and guidance requirements
  • Units that have already been completed or existing credits that have been accumulated

This form will help you to establish whether you require any additional training in order to complete the units. If necessary, you will need to develop a plan with your manager to gain competence in the relevant areas before attempting the units.

Course Duration

The time it takes you to complete the course is entirely up to you. On average, it takes delegates between 15 and 18 months. However, some candidates manage to complete within a year, while others take longer than 18 months. Additional support can be purchased should you require more time to complete your qualification.

Programme

There are 11 individual units that you must complete if you wish to achieve the full diploma. Should you wish to reach Graduate Membership and follow the Chartered Membership route through IOSH, you will need to complete an additional unit which IOSH require (unit 611 - Professional development and ethics in health and safety management).

The 11 Mandatory units are as follows:

  • 402 Develop and implement effective communication systems for health and safety information.
  • 510 Promote a positive health and safety culture.
  • 511 Develop and maintain individual and organisational competence in health and safety matters.
  • 512 Control health and safety risks.
  • 513 Develop and implement proactive monitoring systems for health and safety.
  • 514 Develop and implement reactive monitoring systems for health and safety.
  • 515 Develop and implement health and safety emergency response systems and procedures.
  • 516 Develop and implement health and safety review systems.
  • 517 Develop and implement a health and safety audit.
  • 518 Behavioural safety in the workplace.
  • 610 Develop and implement the health and safety policy.

The mandatory unit for Graduate Membership recognition and Chartered Membership route:

  • 611 IOSH Mandatory Unit - Professional development and ethics in health and safety management.
Certification

Once you have completed these units, you will be awarded a certificate to demonstrate competence to the national standard. Your City and Guilds Level 5 NVQ Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety Practice certificate will detail all the individual units you have completed as part of your overall programme.

Additional information

Location As the qualification is work based, the NVQ Level 5 Diploma can be undertaken anywhere in the UK.

The dates will be communicated to you and are offered at the following centres around the UK three times per annum: Bristol London Manchester Walsall
