Assessments
Every participant who has completed the course should take the end-of-course assessment. This consists of a personal commitment (action plan) relating to the learning on the course, in which the participant writes up to three actions that they commit to taking.
Commitments should be appropriate for the level of responsibility the participant has in their organisation.
The assessment must be the participant’s own work but can be supported by trainer coaching.
Candidates who successfully complete the IOSH Safety for Executives and Directors course will receive an IOSH accredited certificate.
