Morning All

I have recently been asked to find a NVQ 4 course for myself which will be fully funded by my employer. This is not a course our training Officer has previously booked so i am asking fellow professionals for any good/bad course providers they may have come across.
Any help would be appreciated as i completed Neebosh General in January and I'm now looking to start the NVQ course around December, Thanks Tommo

The NVQ4 is work based and if you are with a small or mid size organisation you can create/gather evidence for your SVQ4.

if you are with a larger organisation it is likely they have a full H&S management system and you may find it will take you longer to gather the evidence for the SVQ4

So ask your company to let you away on day release for a BSc in occupational safety & health although this may take 2 years


Hope this helps

Hi Peter

The point I was making is it is harder to get the evidence whilst working for a larger organisation.

As you stated in order to complete the SVQ4 which I recently have.

You must have sufficient diversity,

but also be able to create & implement new policy's/procedures and incorporate them into the organisations existing management system.

This was the reason I chose a organization where the role of H&S advisor was new,

as they had previously used a H&S consultancy
