You don't just sign up for a qualification. You get a dedicated assessor who has worked in industry, knows what good practice looks like on site and in the office, and supports you one-to-one from your first unit to your certificate.

Guidance for your job

No generic templates or box-ticking. We help you gather evidence from your actual workplace, so your assessment reflects what you really do.

Assessors who've done the job

Your assessor has managed risk, led teams and delivered safety improvements in industry. Practical advice, not just theory.

Support that builds your career

We coach as well as assess, helping you apply what you learn and work towards TechIOSH, CertIOSH or CMIOSH.

NVQ FAQs

Mentoring, feedback, written work and IOSH membership. If your question isn't here, book a call or get in touch.

How does the 1-to-1 mentoring work?

Each learner is paired with a dedicated assessor who provides personalised support throughout the qualification. You’ll receive guidance based on your actual job role, helping you gather relevant evidence and apply knowledge in practice.

How often can I speak to my mentor?

You can contact your assessor whenever you need support. Sessions are flexible and can be arranged around your working hours. We don’t limit communication - if you need help, we’re here.

Will I receive feedback on my portfolio?

Yes. Your assessor reviews your evidence as you go and tells you clearly what meets the standard and what still needs work, so you always know where you stand and nothing is left to the end.

Do I need to write long essays or reports?

No. NVQs are competence-based. While there may be some short knowledge tasks or reflective accounts, most evidence comes directly from your day-to-day role. We’ll help you present this clearly through documents, discussions, witness testimony, observations, or records you already use at work.

Can you support me if I’m working towards IOSH membership?

Absolutely. We help learners understand what IOSH looks for at TechIOSH, CertIOSH, and CMIOSH levels. Your mentor can support you in building competence that benefits both your qualification and your membership progression.
