Choosing a course

Choosing the right IOSH course

The right IOSH course depends on the person's role and what they need to do about health and safety.

01

Which IOSH course do I need?

It follows the role. Working Safely suits all employees. Managing Safely and the Managing Safely Refresher are for managers and supervisors. Leading Safely and Safety for Executives and Directors are for senior leaders and the board.

02

Who are IOSH courses for?

Anyone with a part to play in workplace health and safety, from new starters to directors. Employers also use them to bring a whole team or site up to the same standard of safety knowledge.

03

How can I study?

Three ways: a public course on a set date at one of our UK training centres, an in-company course at your premises, or a live virtual class you join online. Most IOSH courses can run in any of the three.

The awarding body

About IOSH

IOSH, the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health, is the world's largest professional body for people who work in health and safety. It was founded in 1945 and now has more than 48,000 members across over 130 countries.

IOSH sets standards for the profession, supports its members' professional development, and offers a recognised path from student membership through to Chartered status. Its courses give people at every level a solid, recognised grounding in health and safety, which is why they are taken so widely across UK industry.

KeyOstas is an IOSH-approved training provider and has delivered IOSH courses for many years. Every course we run follows the IOSH syllabus and leads to a recognised IOSH certificate.

Frequently asked

IOSH course questions

Which IOSH course should I take?

It depends on the role. For all employees, IOSH Working Safely gives a one-day grounding in safe working. For managers and supervisors, IOSH Managing Safely is the main three-day course, with a one-day Refresher to keep it current. For directors and senior leaders, Leading Safely and Safety for Executives and Directors cover health and safety at board level.

How long do IOSH courses take?

It varies by course. IOSH Working Safely and most one-level courses run for one day. IOSH Managing Safely is a three-day course. IOSH Leading Safely is a short half-day session aimed at senior leaders.

How is IOSH Managing Safely assessed?

With a 45-minute multiple-choice test taken at the end of the course, and a practical risk assessment based on your own workplace, which is submitted shortly afterwards.

How is IOSH Working Safely assessed?

With a short multiple-choice test and a hazard-spotting exercise, so learners show they can apply what the course covers.

Do IOSH certificates expire?

An IOSH certificate does not carry a hard expiry date, but IOSH recommends that managers refresh their knowledge roughly every three years. The IOSH Managing Safely Refresher is built for exactly that.

Can I do an IOSH course online?

Yes. Most IOSH courses can be delivered as a live virtual class, led by a real tutor, that you join from anywhere. You can also train in a classroom on a public date, or in-company at your premises.

What is the difference between Working Safely and Managing Safely?

IOSH Working Safely is a one-day course for all employees and covers safe working for the individual. IOSH Managing Safely is a three-day course for managers and supervisors who are responsible for the health and safety of others.

How much do IOSH courses cost?

Public course places start from £208 per person. In-company courses are quoted per course rather than per person, which is usually more cost-effective once you are training several people. Tell us the course and the numbers and we will put a quote together.
