Change your membership category
Are you an Affiliate Member who wants to be
considered for Technician or Graduate membership, or are you a
Technician Member who wants to move to Graduate status?
If you've recently completed one of the qualifications we accredit and think you may be
able to change your category of membership, then get in touch with
us.
If you have a qualification with an amount of Health and Safety
content in it, send in a copy of your certificate along with the
official module transcript and we will assess it to see if eligible
for a different membership level.
When assessing your documents for a different membership
category we only look at qualifications as we do not accredit
courses. As a guide we are looking for Health and Safety
qualifications.
We'll need to review:
- copies of relevant health and safety qualification certificates
you've recently been awarded
- your current CV, showing what health and safety experience you
have.
How do I send you these documents?
- Send these to us by:
fax - on +44 (0)116 257 9101
- email - scan the documents and attach them to an email for
our Membership team
- post - to the Membership department, IOSH, The Grange,
Highfield Drive, Wigston, Leicestershire, LE18 1NN, UK.
Please don't send us training certificates. If you're unsure
whether your certificate is relevant, please check the list of
qualifications we accredit. If you're
still not sure,
email us or phone +44 (0)116 257 3198.
What do you do with the information I send you?
We'll review your certificates and CV and attach them to your
membership record electronically. We may also verify the
authenticity of your certificates with your educational
establishment.
