Does IOSH Managing Safely Expire?

February 2024

How long does the IOSH Managing Safely course last? Does it expire?

If you are thinking about doing the IOSH Managing Safely  training course or have already completed it and are wondering if there is an expiration date on the qualification: the simple answer to this question is, no. The IOSH Managing Safely Certificate does not have an expiry date!

However, IOSH do recommend that you take the IOSH Managing Safely Refresher course every three years to keep your knowledge up to date.

Why keep your IOSH Managing Safely knowledge up-to-date?

In the fast changing world of work, legislation, management systems, good practice is constantly being updated to reflect and improve on how we work safely and effectively today.

Similar to any safety course, the syllabus of the IOSH Managing Safely certificate will be updated every few years but fundamentally, everybody needs to refresh their knowledge of how to work safely. IOSH Managing Safely will provide you with the necessary skills such as completing a risk assessment, investigating incidents and measuring performance correctly. These are critical mechanisms to sustain a successful and effective health and safety system.

Staff equipped with this knowledge will enable companies to protect their staff, operate to a high performance without disruption caused by accidents and illness.

How do I refresh my knowledge of IOSH Managing Safely?

It is highly recommended by IOSH that you take a short one-day/6 hours IOSH Managing Safely Refresher course ideally around three years after taking your full IOSH Managing Safely certificate but it is not mandatory. Ultimately it is always good practice to stay up-to-date with new regulations and systems.

Companies have the peace of mind in their staff, knowing they have been upskilled and reminded of fundamental HSE practice.

  • "I recently undertook my Nebosh National Diploma for Occupational Health and Safety Management Professionals. The training and support I received from Astutis was absolutely first class and to a very high standard. I undertook classroom based tutorship in a group of 4 and this worked very well for me. My tutors were Andrew Ashford and Mark Jones. Their knowledge of the course material and Health and Safety requirements in both a legal and application sense was amazing. They delivered the material to a very high standard in a way that was totally understandable and relatable. I work in the nuclear industry so I am used to high quality training standards. But this course was the best I have experienced to date and I would not hesitate to recommend Astutis to anyone considering this qualification. I passed all 3 exams at the first attempts gaining an overall credit rating. Which I was delighted with, thankyou Astutis!"

  • "They showed me support and kindness when my Dad passed away on the first week of the course. When I was able to start again in January there was a good range of tutors with different knowledgebases for duration of the 3 week classes. I had some extra support with the assessments and that was greatly received. The admin team were efficient and friendly especially Leanne. Online courses and self study juggled around home life is always challenging."

  • "It was interesting and engaging with a good range of topics and learning outcomes. The exercises though sometimes abstract got you thinking and applying knowledge. Some of the statistics and models were dated, they could do with a refresh on the course content. I liked the mix of slides, book work and video content."
