How long did you take to complete the qualification?      8 mths
Was the support you received suitable with regard to your work requirements?

Yes and more.

What were the benefits to you of choosing this route/qualification?

It was more relevant to me because it was all based around the work I do rather than sitting in a classroom and then sitting exams.

Have you changed your grade of IOSH membership since completion of the qualification?
(please give details)
No
Did you gain support in other areas beyond the assessment of your work for the NVQ?
If so what?

Yes additional support and advice from Sylvia

Would you recommend the NVQ route to others and why?

Yes.  It’s a much easier way of learning especially if its based around the job they are doing.

Do you plan further professional development? i.e. progression to higher qualifications/IOSH membership.

Yes – NVQ Level 4 Occupational Health & Safety

Please tell us anything else about your learning experience that you think will interest others.

At first I hid my work away because I couldn’t understand the terminology.  Sylvia then explained it to me and it became easier to me as I progressed through the units.
