Posted By Hazel Harvey Alain, This is not an IOSH accredited qualification. For overseas qualifications that are unknown to us we would firstly contact the UK NARIC who operate an international mapping service for qualifications. If the degree equated to a UK Bachelors or higher degree then we would check out the actual techncial content against our accreditation criteria which are based on the national occupational level 4 standards in OSH practice. However, having seen a number of American degrees, particularly those available over the internet then I would have to advise that it is unlikely that we will accept it. If you wish to practice in the States I would advise looking at the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) web-site. They do have lists of acceptable qualifications which will allow a person to sit their qualifying examinations.
