What is IOSH IPD?
IPD is a one-off assessment process IOSH Certified Members must go through to become Chartered.
Certified Members will take one of the three current routes, depending on the qualification they achieved to reach their current grade.
All registered members are supported throughout the process and given two years to complete the assessment stage of IPD.
