Be the best that you can be with the NVQ5 Diploma
route to Chartered Membership of IOSH
Long-gone are the days when a ‘good old boy’ became the Safety Officer, or was made redundant. Today’s Chartered Safety and Health Practitioner is more credible, more qualified, and better paid than ever before.
In 2003, the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) gained its Royal Charter, signifying it’s pre-eminence. Two years later, suitably qualified individual members of www.iosh.co.uk became eligible to be personally Chartered, and to add the designatory letters CMIOSH to their names. This puts them on a similar professional footing to other Chartered professions such as Accountants, Engineers, and Solicitors. Chartered Safety and Health Practitioners are eligible to join the "OSHCR" register of health and safety consultants.
IOSH - the World’s largest membership body for safety and health practitioners - recognises three routes to Chartered membership. At CRS, we believe that our mentored NVQ5 Diploma programme provides the best route to Chartered status for practical people, as the competencies you will demonstrate in order to qualify are wholly work-based.
The benefits of professional qualifications:
- CREDIBILITY - in the workplace
- SECURITY - with millions of employers, and just 15000 Chartered members of IOSH, you’ll probably have one of the securest jobs around
- EMPLOYABILITY - naturally the best jobs go to the best candidates, and the best candidates attract the best salaries
Our NVQ Programme
The team at CRS probably provides the best programme of its type in the World. Our team includes a former External Verifier from the awarding body (City & Guilds); we have more international candidates than any other centre; and we are the third largest provider of this qualification in the UK. Our experience and excellent reputation has led over 750 candidates - over 240 currently - to pass through our hands. Our candidates have virtually all progressed to CMIOSH, and considerably enhanced their salaries and career prospects with organisations such as:
- Force India Formula One
- Goodyear Dunlop
- Kerr-McGee China Petroleum Limited (Andarko Petroleum)
- Intercontinental Hotels Group plc
- Ministry of Defense
- National Health Service
How does the programme work?
Your development and learning is demonstrated by progressively assembling a portfolio of evidence which confirms your competence to do the essential work of a Safety and Health Practitioner. You will have a personal mentor throughout your study to help and support you to meet the required standards. This mentor support is one-to-one, with planned, regular meetings, as well as contact by telephone and e-mail. Our approach works extremely well for distance learning too - we have recently worked with candidates from China, the Netherlands, Qatar and Romania.
The evidence necessary to show your competence is normally generated in your work. Your reflective reports will describe the evidence, and explain your approach to each of the ten (10) units.
With an average level of effort, you will complete the programme within a year, though the speed will largely be determined by your own requirements - you can progress more quickly, or more slowly. This is for you to decide! Either way, after completion, IOSH will accept your qualification for Graduate membership. After completing a programme of IPD, you will be welcomed to CMIOSH status. For further information please visit IOSH IPD.
