Having now covered both courses, you’ll see that the content they cover us very similar, as are the objectives of the individual courses. However, there are a few key differences between them. Firstly, although they can both be studied in-house, meaning that you would need at least 4 delegates to book a course, the NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Leadership Excellence can also be studied via E-learning, making it suitable for smaller organisations with less than 4 individuals in leadership positions. This also offers greater flexibility when studying the course.
The second key difference is the overall focus of each course. Although they both cover the same general content, IOSH Leading Safely is more focused on safety legislation and how leadership can improve the safety practices of an organisation. The NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Leadership Excellence, on the other hand, has a greater focus on improving the leadership skills of delegates, discussing practices and techniques effective leaders often utilise. Depending on the goals of your organisation and its leaders, this may help decide which of the courses to choose.
Providing health and safety training courses to organisation leaders and directors is one of the most effective ways to improve practices and the safety culture of an organisation. By simply being aware of legislative requirements and best practice, leaders can help enforce and encourage effective safety practices. Using training to improve leadership skills can also help motivate workers and managers alike, making leadership training an excellent choice for any organisation.
With Phoenix your organisation leaders can study the NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Health & Safety Leadership Excellence or IOSH Leading Safely, getting them all the safety knowledge and skills they need in a single course.
