Where You Learn. Certify. Lead.
Compare professional safety training, job-focused HSE courses and regulated UK qualifications in one clear place.

There is no single course for every learner. New entrants often compare IOSH Managing Safely, the OTHM Level 3 Technical Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety and OSHA 30-Hour training; experienced practitioners may progress to OTHM Level 6 or Level 7, or ProQual NVQ pathways; auditors and management-system professionals may add ISO 45001 Lead Auditor training; and construction, oil & gas or shutdown roles often require practical skills such as WPR, AGT, H2S, LOTO, confined space, work at height, scaffolding and lifting. Employer requirements should always be checked before enrolment.
Not every short safety course is an Ofqual-regulated qualification, and IOSH accreditation does not automatically apply to every programme from an awarding body. The cards below highlight only the specific OTHM and ProQual qualifications verified for these claims.
OTHM and ProQual are UK awarding organisations with regulated qualifications. The specific qualifications highlighted below are presented as regulated pathways.
The OTHM and ProQual occupational health and safety qualifications marked “IOSH Accredited” are listed in IOSH’s qualification directory. Membership eligibility remains subject to IOSH’s current criteria.
