NVQ Level 6 Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety
This ‘on-the-job’ training course means you can study for your NVQ Level 6 Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety while carrying out your everyday work. Over the course of your diploma, you’ll gather evidence of your competency for your NVQ portfolio, under the remote guidance of your personal mentor.

Recognised by the Institution of Occupational Health (IOSH), this qualification will help you along your way to membership. You can start at any time and study around your other commitments to gain your NVQ.
