If you're working in health and safety and aiming to become a Chartered Member of IOSH (CMIOSH), the Level 6 NVQ in Occupational Health and Safety offers a flexible, exam-free route designed around your real-world experience. At Target Zero Training, we help professionals like you gain the qualifications needed to reach the top of the profession without disrupting your work or lifestyle.
Why Choose the Level 6 NVQ Occupational Health and Safety?
Unlike academic routes that require formal exams and classroom attendance, the Level 6 NVQ focuses on practical, work-based evidence. You demonstrate your competence through your day-to-day activities in a live working environment — making it ideal for experienced professionals seeking recognition for the work they already do.
Key Benefits:
- No exams – assessment is entirely evidence-based
- 100% online portfolio and assessor support
- Meets the academic requirements for CMIOSH
- Enrol anytime – progress at your own pace
- Fully flexible around your job and responsibilities
Who Should Enrol?
This course is perfect for:
- Health and Safety Managers or Advisors
- Site Managers with H&S responsibilities
- Those with at least two years’ experience in a relevant role
- Anyone looking to gain chartered status with IOSH
If you already hold the SMSTS, NEBOSH, or similar qualifications and are looking to move up the ladder, this NVQ is the next logical step.
Pathway to CMIOSH and Beyond
Upon completion of the Level 6 NVQ Occupational Health and Safety, you'll meet the academic requirements for Graduate Membership of IOSH (GradIOSH). From there, you can begin your Initial Professional Development (IPD), leading to CMIOSH status — the gold standard in the health and safety profession.
You can also gain access to other professional bodies such as:
- IIRSM (International Institute of Risk and Safety Management)
- OSHCR (Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register)
What Does the NVQ Cover?
Some of the core units include:
- Promoting a positive health and safety culture
- Risk assessment and control
- Managing contractors and incidents
- Developing and implementing policies
- Ensuring compliance with legal requirements
You’ll build a portfolio of real evidence, guided by a dedicated assessor who supports you throughout your journey.
How Long Does It Take?
Because the NVQ is flexible, the time to complete depends on how quickly you can gather your evidence. Most candidates complete the qualification in 8 – 12 weeks, though some experienced professionals finish faster.
