IOSH Academy champions the quality and rigour of the learning experience. Our tutors are highly qualified in training and teaching – but more than this, they are all IOSH members. This means that you will benefit from their years of technical expertise and professional know-how, as well as from the course content itself.

Their valuable experience as occupational safety and health professionals means that they have first-hand involvement in the kinds of situations that our qualifications cover.

Most of all, you have the assurance of excellence when studying with IOSH Academy because of its association with the worldwide authority, credibility and respect that IOSH commands in occupational safety and health.

What qualifications can you study for?

We offer two qualifications in occupational safety and health:

  • IOSH Certificate, for new and aspiring professionals
  • IOSH Diploma, for professionals seeking to consolidate or move towards senior leadership positions.

As well as the quality assurance and international recognition that come from their association with IOSH, these both have the added advantage of providing a route into IOSH membership.

IOSH Certificate

The IOSH Level 3 Certificate in Occupational Safety and Health Principles and Practice provides the basis for a successful career in the profession. You study online, at your own pace.

You'll gain the skills and knowledge employers are looking for. This qualification is for new and aspiring occupational safety and health professionals in a variety of sectors. It’s also suitable if you already have a role with some responsibility for safety and health and want to build your knowledge. You may be working as a supervisor, manager, team leader or preparing to work at this level.

Most people will complete the Certificate in between one and seven months. It depends on how much time you dedicate to it each week.

You can complete the IOSH Certificate at IOSH Academy for £549 plus VAT.

IOSH Diploma

The IOSH Level 6 Diploma in Occupational Safety and Health Leadership and Management is a degree-level professional qualification that provides the perfect platform for ambitious professionals seeking career advancement.

The three units of the Diploma combine to give a balanced professional qualification that prepares you to play an effective role in your organisation.

You will gain advanced understanding of OSH legal frameworks and management principles, including approaches to OSH risk management and incident management.

You will learn how to appraise OSH performance and to take responsibility for improving organisational OSH practices and culture. And you’ll develop leadership skills that will enable you to have greater influence to achieve results. You will be able to identify areas for your own continuing professional development.

You can complete the IOSH Diploma at IOSH Academy for £2,195 plus VAT.

With IOSH Academy you will profit from the accumulated knowledge and experience of occupational safety and health professionals around the world. That’s one of the major advantages of learning with the Chartered body for the profession.

    We use online learning systems to deliver our qualifications. Online learning is a smart and inexpensive way to study, meaning you are not tied to a single location.

    When you graduate from IOSH Academy, you will have demonstrated your commitment to improving your occupational safety and health skills. Employers recognise and value professional qualifications from IOSH, so you will be in a strong position to advance your career and boost your earnings potential.

    Studying with IOSH Academy introduces you to many of the advantages of IOSH membership, from access to a vast library of resources to networking opportunities with fellow professionals.

    Once you graduate from IOSH Academy, you will have completed the academic requirements to move into either:

    • IOSH Technical membership (Certificate graduates)
    • IOSH Certified membership (Diploma graduates).

    You can then add the relevant post-nominals to your name (TechIOSH or CertIOSH).

    You’ll be able to access even more support, guidance and resources to continue developing your professional qualities.

    IOSH Academy is different to other study centres, because it is interested in more than just teaching qualifications. Everything IOSH Academy does supports IOSH’s vision of a safe and healthy world of work.

    When you study with IOSH Academy, you’re buying into this longer-term vision. Our values are all about developing the skills and knowledge that the profession needs to make workplaces safer and healthier for all.
