The content of these qualifications covers mostly the same material.<\/p>\n<p><strong>United Kingdom (UK)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Level 5 National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety Practice is a vocational qualification designed specifically for safety professionals who want to attain a chartered status of Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) Chartered Member of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (CMIOSH) through a practical, evidence-based route as opposed to an academic course.<\/p>\n<p>It is a qualification for those who wish to forge a career in health and safety as advisors, managers or consultants. There are no entry requirements, but candidates must be aged 19 or over. Learners who are carrying out the activities stated in the unit standards will be requested to produce evidence to show their competence in these areas.<\/p>\n<p>The qualification meets the academic requirements for Graduate Membership of IOSH. With additional experience and further professional development, those who obtain get the Diploma can also attain Chartered Safety Practitioner status.<\/p>\n<p>The duration of this course is 15 to 18 months and the content covers all the aspects that are covered in the South African Occupational Certificate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Australia:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A similar situation to those found in the UK and Canada exists in Australia, where the Vocational Certificate IV in Occupational Health and Safety can be earned within a period of 15 to 18 months.
