Summary
Our blended online and on-campus CPD course in Occupational Hygiene offers an innovative approach to learning that meets the professional development and training needs of occupational hygiene and health professionals in the areas of occupational exposure assessment and control.
The course concentrates on hazardous substances but the underlying principles are also applicable to other agents that are harmful to health in the workplace.
Professionals working in occupational safety and health and occupational hygiene will benefit from technical training and education that is accredited by the British Occupational Hygiene Society.
As a CPD student on our programme, your course is delivered under the framework of The University of Manchester Postgraduate Taught Programmes and upon successful completion you will attain 30 credits at masters’ education level (180 credits is required for MSc qualification). This also means for the duration of your CPD course you are a student of The University of Manchester entitling you to use the library resources and access the University student support services.
If you are interested in further study after completing the CPD course, you can enrol onto our BOHS accredited MSc in Occupational Hygiene or enrol onto our MPH programme in Occupational Health. You can use your 30 credits from the CPD towards these qualifications.
Our CPD course is mapped to the curriculum set out in BOHS OHTA Modules W501 Measurement of Hazardous Substances and W505 Control of Hazardous Substances. Successful completion of our CPD course exempts you from the W501 and W505 modules on the Certificate of Operational Competence in Occupational Hygiene, in accordance with our BOHS accreditation and BOHS endorsement as a training provider.
In addition, our CPD course contains topics not included in the BOHS modules – Exposure Modelling, Dermal exposure, Human Behaviours, and Occupational Infections.
