5 days – NQF Level 5

The role of SHEQ management within the organizational environment is changing. This creates the need for SHEQ officers to be able to communicate and function at higher levels within the organisation. It is therefore important that SHEQ professionals acquire the necessary knowledge and skills on courses that provide further career path development opportunities.

In recognition of the quality of Advantage A.C.T’s SHEQMAN course, the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) has, after careful assessment of the course content and abilities of Advantage A.C.T to deliver university standard qualifications, elected to confer the following course credits on students with a SHEQMAN course certificate and who meet the entry requirements for the appropriate USQ program: The USQ Graduate Diploma in Safety Health and Environment – a credit for MGT 8017 (Safety Science in Practice).
