Accuracy & recognition
Important programme notes
Recognition: The prescribed OSH Coordinator course must be completed through a training centre registered with DOSH. Sterling will only offer this pathway through an appropriately registered provider arrangement. Sterling delivers the instructor-led component live on Zoom. Any prescribed practical session, physical assessment or provider-registered examination required by the authority is arranged separately through the registered provider and is not part of the online programme.
Fact check: The title has been changed from “certification” to “training” because completion requirements and recognition are controlled by DOSH.
