IPD Training Session
Overview
This IPD session is one of a series of sessions that the Branch
has held over the last 3 years. The purpose was to assist
members at all levels to understand the process and more
importantly the level and type of information to input.
What's in it for me
There's only one fair way of assessing whether someone meets the
criteria for Chartered membership. We use your qualifications and a
clearly structured assessment procedure to measure your knowledge,
commitment and experience. The procedure we use is called Initial
Professional Development (IPD).
Working through IPD can take around two years, but
there is no time limit. If you can sucessfully complete the
asessment and the interview, you will transfer to Chartered
membership at the next available opportunity. Alongside IPD, all
members must join our Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
scheme, using our specially designed online programme. Throughout
your professional working life, CPD will help keep your knowledge
and expertise fresh and up to date.
Who should attend?
There are three routes through IPD. The route you take depends
on how you became a Graduate Member.
Route 1 is for Graduate Members who have an accredited degree or
diploma. In this route you achieve Chartered status by:
- completing a skills development portfolio (SDP)
- maintaining your CPD
- successfully completing the peer review interview.

diagram explaining Route 1.
Route 2 is for Graduate Members with a level 4 NVQ or SVQ in
Occupational Health and Safety Practice. Here you achieve Chartered
membership by:
- maintaining your CPD
- successfully completing the open assessment and peer review
interview.

Route 3 is for Graduate Members with cognate degrees. In this
route you have to:
- complete a skills development portfolio (SDP)
- maintain your CPD
- successfully complete the open assessment and peer review
interview.
