What this qualification is
The Qualifi Level 7 Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety Management is awarded by Qualifi and regulated by Ofqual at RQF Level 7. The qualification totals 120 credits across 6 mandatory units. Ofqual register reference 603/2179/2. LEAP Education delivers this programme 100% online with tutor support.
Standard completion is 6 months; accelerated completion in available on selected programmes is offered on this programme where shown below. Fees from £1,250. Assessment is through coursework and assignments — there is no requirement to attend a UK campus.
Heads of health and safety and consultants working to UK HSE expectations. Strategic director roles; MSc top-up where agreed with partner universities.
The board no longer asks if the site is compliant; they demand proof that safety protocols are actively protecting the company’s valuation against catastrophic operational failure.
You move from enforcing site rules to designing enterprise-wide risk frameworks that satisfy multinational audit standards and executive scrutiny. This credential enables you to lead cross-border compliance strategies, turning health and safety from a cost center into a strategic asset that ensures business continuity and brand protection. You gain the authority to command boardroom conversations where operational speed is balanced against legal integrity and ethical responsibility.
This qualification is built for Operations Managers, Facilities Directors, and Site Supervisors with three to five years of field experience who are currently stalled at mid-level roles because they lack the strategic credential to lead an HSE department. It serves professionals in high-pressure international environments—from manufacturing hubs in Southeast Asia to construction projects in Africa—who are frustrated by being viewed as administrative enforcers rather than critical business advisors. If you need to transition from managing daily hazards to engineering systemic safety cultures that drive executive decision-making, this six-month pathway provides the authoritative backing to secure that senior leadership seat.
You develop skills in health and safety management systems, risk intervention, wellbeing strategy, ethics and applied research — assessed through assignments aligned to Qualifi learning outcomes.
