Is IOSH or NEBOSH better?
Both IOSH and NEBOSH courses will help develop your knowledge and skills to improve health and safety in a workplace; however, they are very different.
NEBOSH training courses take considerably longer and are a more in-depth level of study than IOSH; therefore you will achieve a higher qualification. NEBOSH diplomas are level six qualifications (Degree level) compared to IOSH courses that are a level-two qualification (GCSE level). IOSH is a great entry level health and safety course.
When will I receive my IOSH certificate?
It will usually take around 12 weeks, as IOSH needs to validate that you have completed the course, passed any online assessments or projects, depending on which IOSH course you studied.
International Workplace will then receive your IOSH certificate, whereupon we will check it and send it on to you or your employer, depending on the instructions we have been given.
Does my IOSH course expire?
If you complete an IOSH training course your certificate will not expire. However, IOSH do recommend that you take a refresher course every three years to renew your health and safety knowledge.
