Badged Courses

We are currently assessing applications from relevant course providers wanting to take part in a pilot scheme to run a BOHS-badged Asbestos Management Awareness course.   Participation in the pilot scheme will provide the opportunity to work with BOHS on the long-term development of its ‘Badged Courses Scheme’ which will cover courses in a range of other subjects.

What is a Badged Course?
BOHS will badge existing courses in subjects which cover issues related to occupational hygiene whose syllabuses have been approved. Course providers receive the endorsement of BOHS for that course and can badge its course material and certification with the BOHS logo.  This pilot is the exciting first step in the development of the full-blown scheme, which aims to benefit both BOHS in raising our profile, as well as benefiting course providers in providing additional credibility and reassurance by association with BOHS as a recognised and leading institution in the field of occupational hygiene. 

 

What next?
If the pilot is successful, we intend to launch the full-blown scheme in 2008. The course providers participating in the pilot will work with the BOHS Education Committee post-pilot to determine how the future permanent scheme would run.
