Our Level 6 Occupational Health and Safety NVQ assessment process is designed to be straightforward and flexible, with no written assignments or written work for candidates to complete.

Your knowledge and understanding are captured through recorded professional discussions with your assessor. Rather than completing lengthy written questions, assignments or reports, you discuss your knowledge and experience with your assessor, who will guide you through the process and ensure the required knowledge and understanding are fully evidenced.

We also do not provide candidates with an e-portfolio or online platform to manage themselves. Instead, your assessor oversees the portfolio-building process, selecting and organising the evidence required for your qualification and guiding you throughout the NVQ.

Evidence can be gathered from your existing work and professional responsibilities, including documents, e-systems, reports, programmes and other relevant workplace evidence. Where appropriate, your assessor may also visit you in the workplace to carry out face-to-face assessment activities. However, the qualification can be completed remotely where suitable evidence can be obtained.

Third-party references and witness testimonies may also be used to support and confirm your competence and areas of responsibility.

This approach allows you to demonstrate your existing knowledge, skills and experience without completing written assignments or managing an online portfolio yourself.
