IOSH Course Fees Explained
IOSH courses are the first choice for many organisations when providing health and safety training for their teams. They cover the health and safety training requirements for those at every level of an organisation and are designed by IOSH (The Institution of Occupational Health and Safety). IOSH base their courses on international best practices and standards, promoting high quality safety practices across the globe. As a result, their courses are used in organisations in almost every industry to provide effective health and safety training.
When looking to invest in training such as IOSH courses, many organisations are keen to understand the costs involved. In this post we’ll break down the cost of our IOSH courses and the learning styles available to study them through.
IOSH Courses
IOSH courses are widely used because they cover the health and safety needs of employees at all levels of an organisation, teaching to an international standard. Phoenix offers the three core IOSH courses, as well as a refresher course.
IOSH Working Safely
Designed for workers at an operational level within an organisation, IOSH Working Safely is an entry level health and safety course which covers the core knowledge any worker needs to stay safe at work. The course is jargon-free and accessible for all workers; by the end of it delegates will:

Be able to Identify common hazards and risks
Know how to make a difference to the health, safety and wellbeing of themselves and others
