What to Do After the NEBOSH Diploma to Progress Your Career?
Have you just completed the NEBOSH Level 6 Diploma? It’s time to progress your career growth by making an informed decision to become a qualified health and safety professional. Although individual career growth goals may differ, there are certain common milestones, such as Chartered IOSH membership.
Remember, successfully completing the NEBOSH diploma is just a step in your career progression. Let’s explore the next steps to an elevated profession.
Progress to Chartered Membership for IOSH
After completing the NEBOSH diploma, the learners can progress their growth by applying for their Graduate membership in IOSH. This ensures your commencement of the journey to Chartered status. This necessitates completing CPD. After CPD completion, the learners have to enrol in the IOSH Initial Professional Development (IPD) scheme.
What’s this IPD?
It’s an assessment process that validates the skills of learners for chartered membership. Being a NEBOSH Diploma holder, the individual should develop his/her skills portfolio. To do this, the learner has to log in IOSH membership and create his/her Skills Development Portfolio (SDP) online. Learners have to meet a range of criteria under this portfolio and submit the necessary information to IOSH. Upon reviewing it, if it is required, learners may be recommended for amendments to close it as passed.
Even though there is no timeline to achieve the Chartered status, it is still expected to validate your experience with the IPD scheme within 12 to 18 months. This is regarded as a reasonable timeframe to finish this particular segment of the journey.
CPD – Continuing Professional Development in Health & Safety
CPD indicates the record of the journey of learners in the professional arena. Since it showcases the acquisition of skills that you have learned in the diploma, it is of high importance. CPD represents that the learners have reached milestones and are eligible to climb up the membership ladder.
Moreover, the IOSH membership serves as proof of your globally recognized professional level to peers and potential employers.
Benefits of the Chartered Status of IOSH
To put it simply, the Chartered status of IOSH stands for your benchmark in skills. Other benefits include:
