HEALTH & SAFETY QUALIFICATIONS

SHEilds offer corporate discounts for bulk purchases, please speak to a SHEilds course advisor to learn more.

Courses can be paid in instalments, however, at present this must be done via telephone whilst speaking to one of our course advisors. If you would like to pay monthly, please contact your local SHEilds office.

You will receive your results by post, for NEBOSH courses this can take up to 3 months as the process upon exam completion is thorough. It can then take a further 10 days for the results to be printed and posted.

You will receive your IOSH exam results immediately however you must then submit a practical test which can take up to 1 week for our tutors to mark.

NVQ courses are an ongoing evaluation and can be completed in just a few months, however, this depends on the students time dedication to the course.

For a health and safety officer, we would recommend starting with either the International or National certificate in occupational health and safety depending on where you would like to work. This is a qualification that is ideal for anyone looking to enter a career in health and safety. The qualification focuses on various standards and management systems.

Yes, the certificates being different is a common myth around e-learning, where many students are worried their qualification will not be valued as highly should they have studied in a classroom. The certificate you will receive at the end of the course is the exact same and you cannot tell the method of study.

One of our most commonly asked questions is whether or not our students can view past exams. We have a collection of past exam papers for our courses. These are available as resources when you become a SHEilds student, we recommend revising these often after you have studied your course and use them to test yourself up until the date of your exam.

Of course, SHEilds pride themselves on successful students, for this you will receive a personal tutor who will be available year-round to answer any questions you may have. If you have any worries about structuring any written work or what resources you should use, your tutor will offer guidance in this area.

NEBOSH jobs are available globally, in the UK we recommend studying the National courses however outside of the UK the International courses offer work globally (excluding the UK.) The average earnings in the UK for construction and civil engineering can offer salaries of £50,000. Utilities can expect to earn £46,000 with consulting following with £43,000. The lowest average salaries can be found in manufacturing at £38,000 and the public sector at £33,000. For the position of ‘Global Head of Health and Safety’ in the banking and finance sector, a salary of £125,000 was offered. For this, both a NEBOSH Diploma and CMIOSH was required.

For anyone looking to manage a team of staff, an IOSH Managing Safely course should be considered. This course will get managers up-to-speed on challenges in health and safety that they will face in the workplace. SHEilds make the course flexible so a student can study around a busy schedule in their own time.
