Yes the questions are changing and no they will not be available. The questions as they stand used to be available on the IOSH website legitimately, but they were removed as candidates were entering the interview with the completed forms, so it was being abused. They made the decision to remove them and they should no longer be made available. It's a bit dangerous getting off people from the internet you don't know they are the legitimate questions and it could be leading you up the wrong path. You would be wise to speak to your branch EDA, or if you want to e-mail me I will be happy to help with any questions you may have regarding the process, being an EDA myself. The new questions sets will be next year. You could always get a wriggle on and try for an interview this year. Ang.

I found Peer Review tough. Last year I knew the questions in advance, and still failed! Seven years of HS management knowledge and experience didn't get me through. While I planned my answers in depth, I misunderstood what the panel wanted to hear in some instances. But I didn't give up and applied again, networked a bit to gain more understanding of certain terminology and how to put across what I knew and had done, and was made up to CMIOSH last week.

Hi Guys and Gals I am very interested in starting my IPD, I understand i need to complete an open assesesment and peer interview, how long do you get to complete your IPD, assesesments and if you fail these how soon can you retake/do? Thanks

Hi Angeles I can assure you they do get a copy of your SDP, they had a copy of mine at my interview which they could tell me what evidence I had produced. Merry Christmas Safetyman1

Hi The questions which will replace the current ones are still only to find out what you have done and what your understanding of the various requirements are. As a panel member I know that we are all there to support you to hopefully the next step of your progression and not, to make it awkward for you. I do find from experience that where candidates have the answers pre-planned it puts them off answering the question asked as it may have been asked in a slightly different way as a subsidiary question so I think it will benefit candidates by not knowing them pre-interview. We do not get to know anything before interviewing candidates other than the presentation and cv so we base everything on the experience you tell us about as part of the answers but taking in to account that it is nerve wracking so support and guide where we can. Good luck to all with the interviews and for the future aspirations.
