ProQual Level 3 NVQ in Occupational Health & Safety
Level 3 NVQ Health & Safety introduction
The Level 3 NVQ Health & Safety is aimed at candidates who are responsible for developing and applying health and safety procedures day to day in their organisation. As such, they may be a staff member, supervisor or manager looking to improve their knowledge and skills.
Why an NVQ? Because, our online web-based NVQ is a safe alternative to traditional classroom based learning.
We know that learning in a classroom and having your competence tested via formal exams is not for everyone. Whereas with NVQs, they assess your practical skills and the application of knowledge in the workplace instead.
