IOSH Membership

The basic units no longer offer automatic GradIOSH membership:

Level 5 Diploma candidates must additionally complete the “elective” unit 611 for GradIOSH membership
Existing candidates already enrolled on the old standard (3654-05) – the NVQ Level 5 Diploma are not affected.

Note: So not to disadvantage candidates on the old standard, successful candidates will continue to be accepted for GradIOSH, until their qualification period ends (maximum of 3 years – Aug 2019).

Bridging Course

The Level 5 Diploma qualification does not lend itself to a bridging course because the units significantly differ!

We recommend candidates who have completed a previous version of this Diploma qualification do not undertake the newer version.

The route we recommend for candidates wishing to prove their advancement from the older version is IOSH Membership and completion of their CPD cycles which proves in a more robust manner a candidate’s continual professional development and knowledge development.
