Hi all,
I've seen on 2 separate CV's (I no longer have access to), 1 year long courses on behavioral science, within the field of H&S management. I have looked into some BBS course but they are short courses and not what I'm referring to. Does anyone have any details of longer more substantial courses on the subject, not just BBS as I'm sure the qualification I saw (unfortunately can't remember the title) was of a wider scope. Any helps is appreciated.
Kind regards

Not sure if there is a bespoke H&S course on ths subject, some other users may advise on that.
I did a workplace psychology course followed by an advanced diploma in psychology to give me the key learning(s) to apply the principles to some aspects of H&S.
Works well.
regards
Jonty

Hi Adale,
University of Derby runs the following over a year: MSc in Behaviour Change (Occupational Health and Safety) Check out their website for more details.
Beware, the cost is £11,000-dreadful, eh?
Can do a PG Dip or Cert instead.
Great if your employer will pay, as if! perhaps
Regards
Mike

Mike,
thanks, can you tell me what the PG stands for (I'm hoping not psychology, or I'll be embarrassed ha ha). Then I'll look into it - Thanks

At the risk of jumping on the bandwagon I would also really like any details of such substantial courses and would really appreciate any information the forum members could give me. I will look into the Derby option but would have to be distance as I am in Oxford. (you would think I could find something locally but no such luck)

Hi Adale,
Sorry about that, I'm always bugged by abbreviations and here I am doing it myself.
Comes of working at University in the past.
PG means Post-graduate [Diploma and certificate for completeness.]
I know nothing of how good Derby's courses are.
Regards
Mike
Hi Marshi

Adele Both my courses were distance learning and less than £500 each! The advanced Diploma was done through CMIT link below, I cant remember who I did the Workplace psychology course through but again it was a reputable distance learning povider. http://www.cmit.ie/Hope that helps a bit. regards Jonty

In ,courses on 'psychology' and 'behaviour', it's advisable to establish what ways you will learn how to apply knowledge taught in practice. After all, it doesn't require much to fill a timetable with assorted fragments of cognitive, social, developmental and environmental psychology, pay a few people with time on their hands to turn up for suitable fee, and label the programme with anything a head of department in a university will sanction
The lowest-risk way to do that is to do a course externally validated by the British Psychological Society (or the Psychological Society of Ireland) or the Association of Business Psychology, or both. Follow that with relevant professional supervision.
