NVQ Level 6 in Occupational Health and Safety
From start to finish, students can expect to spend around 1064 hours completing the NVQ Level 6 in Occupational Health and Safety qualification. Around half of these will be carried out under the supervision of expert instructors.
Once the NVQ Level 6 in Occupational Health and Safety course is complete, students will be assessed internally. They’ll be awarded either a pass or a fail. This qualification has been designed for candidates older than 19, but comes with no formal entry requirements.
