NVQ Level 5 – Health & Safety
ProQual & IOSH have now launched the Level 6 Health & Safety NVQ as of 01/04/2018. This is an updated version of the Level 5 NVQ.
The level 6 offers a much more balanced qualification and many employers prefer the Level 6 NVQ. We will now offer the level 6 in replace of the level 5.
The Level 6 is equivalent to the Nebosh National Diploma, however, you will not need to complete any exams during the NVQ.
The Level 6 in Health & Safety also allows you to apply for GRADIOSH status.
Please see full details of the NVQ Level 6 in Health & Safety below.
We are working in partnership with IOSH to develop an updated qualification which will be available during 2018; the current Level 5 will be accepted during the transitional period until 2019.
