The two OHS certificates lay the groundwork for careers in OHS, covering essential topics such as safety regulations, risk management, and human behaviour in emergency situations. As the program progresses, you will build on this foundation by focusing on mid-level technical tasks and advanced safety strategies. You'll dive into topics such as workplace hazard analysis, safety audits, and the creation of prevention strategies, positioning yourself to tackle complex safety challenges in diverse settings.
As a complement to the OHS training, you will also learn the various aspects of change management. This will provide the skills to lead people and organizations through transitions. The ability to guide teams through change while achieving organizational goals will make you a versatile leader in any workplace.
