Rank: New forum user		Hello. I recently got evaluation of my degree from UK NARIC where my Occupational safety degree is considered comparable to UK Masters degree standard. As I'm currently working in England I would like to know (before I pay and join IOSH) will my degree be recognized and what level of membership will I get (tech - grad IOSH?) Thank you in advance for your help. Cheers!

Rank: Super forum user		In theory you should be eligible for Graduate Membership if its evaluation is done as per UK standards, but for IOSH they keep looking for specific elements and module of the course and thats the reason not all Degrees are approved by IOSH... IOSH normally assess the applicants qualification for a nominal fee before and when you join this fee will be reduced from membership fee, This is what happening before.. Dont know if policy is changed... regards, Prad

Rank: New forum user		Maybe this question is a bit off topic for this subject but I was wondering what type of NEBOSH certification do I need to get to prove that I am familiar with British standards and legislation? I have degree in Occupational safety but I want to be elegible to work under British regulations.

Rank: Super forum user		At basic stage, NEBOSH National General Certificate will give you some basic familiarization regarding legislation but not British standards SHV
