Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Health and Safety Leadership and Management is the authorised vocational qualification designed for those who are responsible for developing and applying health and safety procedures day-to-day in any organisation. Gaining this qualification will provide you with the opportunity to demonstrate your skills, knowledge, and competence in a convenient way as you are not required to attend any classes or workshops instead an experienced assessor will be allocated to you and visit you on your site.

This qualification is specifically intended for experienced and working health and safety leaders. It is essential to hold relevant experience in order to achieve this qualification. All candidates will need to complete an initial assessment before enrolment in which they must demonstrate the ability to meet the requirements of the qualification.

In order to achieve this qualification all candidates will be assessed via OSAT (On Site Assessment and Training) which will take place at our learners’ workplaces. This is an advantage as candidates will not be required to attend any classes, workshops or take time off work. The number of site visits made by the assessor will depend on the experience, interest, and availability of the candidates.

The candidates will be allocated an expert assessor who will support them during the course and carry out all the necessary assessment procedures required to successfully gain the qualification. The complete process will consist of a range of communication methods and evidence collection processes tailored around the individual learner needs. Our assessors will support candidates in the process of gathering all the required evidence to assemble the essential Portfolio of evidence.

The duration of the course will heavily depend on the candidates’ interest, motivation, and availability. For NVQ Level 7 the minimum length of the assessments from the candidate’s registration to the actual achievement of the NVQ is within 3-12 months.
