| Entry Qualifications |
|
There are no mandatory pre-entry qualifications required for the Diploma
but candidates are advised to obtain the NEBOSH General Certificate before starting a
Diploma programme. All candidates should have a good standard of written English.
|
|
| Course Content |
|
The syllabus comprises four core units:
|
|
| - Unit A: |
Managing health and safety |
| - Unit B: |
Hazardous agents in the workplace |
| - Unit C: |
Workplace and work equipment safety |
| - Unit D: |
Application of health and safety theory and practice |
|
|
| Examinations |
|
Units A - C are separately assessed by written examination. The examinations are held twice a year in January and
July. ATM Safety & Environment hold examinations in Coventry
but if required it is often possible to sit examinations elsewhere in the UK. Overseas students can take examinations at any local British Council
Office and at other venues by special arrangement.
|
|
| Workplace Based Assignment (Unit D) |
| Unit D is a workplace based assignment. It consists of an audit of a health and safety management system and two risk assessments,
one covering hazardous agents and the other workplace or work equipment hazards. The
assignment can be submitted to NEBOSH in either March or September.
|
|
| Distance Learning Materials |
| Students are provided with notes, coursework and some key text books. UK students are sent the course materials for the first unit,
the other two units are given out at the tutorials. Overseas students are sent all three units.
Students are encouraged to complete the coursework and submit this to ATM Safety & Environment
for marking by post or email by the submission dates. The
coursework does not count towards the award.
|
|
| Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Reference Material |
| HSE publications are free and available from the HSE website and are an extremely useful source of reference for the course
and for completing the Unit D assignment. Priced publications were previously available through membership of
HSE Direct but this closed at the end of 2009 following the HSE Board’s decision to make the previously priced
publications available free of charge from the HSE website.
|
|
| Course Programme |
|
ATM Safety & Environment run a standard distance learning course and a
fast track programme. The standard programme runs over three terms
and students can join the course at the start of any one of these
