Assessment

To complete this course, learners must pass the IOSH Managing Sustainably Exam and Action Plan. The cost of the exam and action plan is already included in the cost of the course.

Exam

The IOSH Managing Sustainably Exam demonstrates the student’s understanding of the information contained within the course. The exam is taken online, so there is no need to attend a training centre. The exam consists of multiple choice questions and must be completed within 30 minutes. Students will need to achieve at least 25 points from a possible 30 to pass the exam. Students can have two attempts at the exam. A student will have to resit the whole course if they do not achieve the required marks on the second attempt. (We do not charge for resits.)

Action Plan

Students are required to complete an Action Plan after they complete the Exam.

Based on the knowledge they have gained throughout the course, delegates need to explain in their action plan:

• How they feel differently about OSH and sustainability after attending the course
• How they would improve and embed social sustainability within organisational processes and operations.

Students need to achieve 12 out a possible score of 15 to pass the Action Plan part of the assessment.

Both our courses and the dashboard will work on any modern web browser, for example Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. You should ensure that they are fully updated. Internet Explorer should not be used because it is no longer supported by Microsoft and so may be unstable.
