Get your course IOSH approved

And benefit from our brand recognition

If you are a training provider, you can apply to get your course approved by IOSH. As well as helping you improve your existing course, we bring the reputational boost of our brand. IOSH is recognised worldwide for excellence, high standards and thought leadership in safety and health.

How it works

We will work closely with you and provide step-by-step guidance to get IOSH approval for your materials. We can help whether you're exploring an initial idea or want approval for a course you're already delivering. 

Benefits

Our Learning Development Officers will ensure your courses:

  • include the most up-to-date, relevant health and safety information
  • are pitched at the appropriate level for your delegates
  • provide professional training materials 
  • meet the highest standards for trainer competence and course quality
  • provide unrivalled opportunities for your organisation’s growth and development.
