What to Expect on IOSH Managing Safely

Most questions we get about the Managing Safely course are practical ones. Here is what to expect in Birmingham, so the three days hold no surprises.

The hours

The course runs from 9am to 5pm for three days, about 24 hours in total. You need to attend every day and take part throughout. If a day is missed, a certificate is not issued and you would need to enrol on a new course and attend all three days again, so pick dates you can keep clear.

Lunch and parking

Coffee and biscuits are provided, but lunch is not, so bring a packed lunch. Our Birmingham centre has free parking. Cars are registered at reception on each day of the course, and we can confirm the arrangement when you book.

What you take away

All the training material is provided and is yours to keep, including an IOSH Managing Safely workbook. At the end you sit a multiple choice exam and complete a project that shows how you would handle a risk assessment.

When the certificate arrives

Students who pass receive an official IOSH certificate, up to 4 to 8 weeks after the course. It has no expiry date, although a refresher every three years is advised to keep your knowledge up to date.
