OH&S Courses

[brookebowrey]

Hi,

I've just completed a degree in HR, and looking at other qualifications I can obtain to build up my CV.

I eventually want to be a HR Manager of a hotel, so could anyone give me some advice on a good OH&S course for my needs?

Any other suggestions on handy short courses would be great as well.

Thanks!

You could do a Cert IV in OH&S or the 5 day OH&S course. For a HR Manager at a hotel, this would be sufficient, unless you want to specialise in OH&S.

I'd recommend doing a Graduate Certificate in OH&S. Having a HR degree and then going to TAFE can create subconscious associations from a recruiter in my opinion.

The good thing about a Grad Cert is it counts towards a Grad Diploma or even a Masters if you wanted to carry on with it - or even apply credits towards a Masters in another area (i.e. MHRM). If not, it's a tertiary qualification and isn't that onerous really (4 units). Though I'm sure it's a lot more expensive than TAFE... need to balance that up.

For example, here is some info on a Grad Cert in OH&S.
Graduate Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety Management: Curtin University of Technology

SAI Global have a very good course in an Advanced Diploma in OHS which incorperates RABQSA certificates of attainment for auditing. It is a blended learning holistic course that essentially empowers you with the knowlege and information to establish and maintain the governance of your OHSMS, and you are assessed from that.
