The ProQual Level 3 NVQ in Occupational Health & Safety Practice is a practical, work-based qualification for individuals who already support health and safety in their role. Instead of written exams, you complete a portfolio of real workplace evidence, proving competence through the work you already carry out.
This Level 3 NVQ is a strong alternative to the NEBOSH General Certificate and is ideal for supervisors, team leaders, coordinators, and those who play a supporting role in managing day-to-day safety within their organisation.
Learners develop practical competence in areas such as hazard identification, inspections, audits, incident reporting, and implementing safety improvements, all under real working conditions.
You will complete a series of units that demonstrate your competence across core areas of health & safety. Evidence is gathered through your normal duties and assessed by your dedicated NVQ assessor.
