Level 6 Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety Practice

SHE Knows delivery methods for this qualification – we are different, not just your average training provider.

At SHE Knows we aim to concentrate on assessing work-based evidence without duplication of submission. This way your time on your NVQ is spent demonstrating your competence and not on interpreting the NVQ standards.

Our cost for the ProQual Level 6 diploma covers all your assessment, registration and certification costs so that you concentrate on providing work-based evidence.  You have 2 years to complete your NVQ.

Your Assessors will support you from our office, with you submitting your work electronically; this can be via email, Googledrive, WeTransfer or Dropbox – we have even assess evidence submitted via WhatsApp.

If you do want to be supported with two site visits, then an assessor will visit you at work (we’ll plan the site and times with you) and they can then observe you and assist with portfolio building as you require.  This cost is £2,400.00

Time scales for completion – this does vary.  Some practitioners with several years of experience in H&S, who have a wealth of documentation to draw on, have completed the NVQ in 4 to 6 months.  Others, newer to the field, have to take to time develop certain systems or job roles, so then this could take up to 2 years to compete the qualification. We have to ensure that you are not submitting out of date evidence due to any changes in legislation, best practice or old documents that have since been reviewed, this is why we mention the 2 years goalpost.

You can start at any time; once registration has been completed a work pack will be issued. On your initial contact/induction with your assessor they will explain evidence gathering and how to understand our workbook and filing systems.

SHE Knows would like to remind you that our ProQual approved Assessors are human assessors, not a computer platform or team of admin staff. The SHE Knows team will support you if you call or email with a query or question.
