A new Course accreditation service by The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) is offering a 'stamp of approval' for workplace health and safety training courses run by other organisations. The service, which is available for open market training courses, and those delivered to an organisation’s own employees, aims to give organisations the peace of mind that their courses have been independently assessed and embody best practice.
The accreditation process consists of:

a review of the course content and all related material, including trainers’ notes and delegate packs; and
a delivery of recommended improvements and corrections which must be implemented.
The accreditation runs annually. RoSPA also offers a course development service - it designs a course syllabus and materials to meet the particular training requirements of individual organisations. Courses are initially delivered to an organisation’s internal trainers, who then train other employees.

Comment:
“Once accredited, courses can then be advertised and delivered under the prestigious ‘Accredited by RoSPA’ banner. There is even a special version of the instantly recognisable RoSPA red square logo that can be used to promote the relevant courses on an organisation’s website and for catalogues, sales brochures and attendance certificates.” - RoSPA Workplace Safety General Manager.
