Description
The Level 6 NVQ Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety Practice is a high-level, work-based qualification for experienced health and safety professionals. It’s designed for those managing health and safety across projects, sites, or entire organisations, and looking to gain a nationally recognised qualification without stepping away from their role.
This NVQ is completed entirely through evidence of your day-to-day responsibilities. You’ll demonstrate how you lead on policy development, manage risk, investigate incidents, engage stakeholders, and ensure legal compliance. Assessment is carried out via a combination of professional discussions, document review, and reflective accounts — all based on real work.
The qualification is widely recognised and is a direct route to Chartered IOSH (CMIOSH) status, subject to IOSH’s membership process. With no exams or classroom delivery, this flexible NVQ fits around your workload and supports your career progression in health and safety leadership.
