The National Compliance and Risk Qualifications (NCRQ) says it will no longer operate its education programme.
The National Compliance and Risk Qualifications (NCRQ) has released a statement explaining it will no longer able to offer its suite of health and safety qualifications.
The firm, established in 2016, says it hopes to continue with another provider but this is yet to be confirmed.
The statement reads: “It is with great sorrow that we announce that NCRQ is no longer able to deliver qualifications to learners…”We have worked with AIM Qualifications to secure an agreement with another training provider, Hatten Education, to continue to deliver qualifications for our current and new students.”
NCRQ’s qualification was seen as an alternative to the NEBOSH diploma and in January 2016, its programmes of study was placed on IOSH’s approved list. Its certificate in Applied Health and Safety meets the academic requirements for Tech IOSH membership, and the NCRQ Diploma for Graduate IOSH membership. After completion, candidates could then apply for Chartered IOSH membership in the same way as those completing NEBOSH or university degree qualifications.

I have to say am not sorry to say am pleased that they are stopping. If you want the Diploma then do the best one NEBOSH Diploma not some watered-down qualification. The amount of students I have tutored with NVQs in Health and Safety with out a clue. If you want a qualification don’t waste time with NVQ (not very well qualified) and do NEBOSH.
Give your head a wobble Pete Bleeze, NEBOSH Diploma elitism is a myth dispelled long ago.
Thanks for stopping in to gloat at the misfortunes of others. We’re all pleased to hear that you’re happy with your Diploma.
I feel for all the students that are now out of pocket along with not gaining a diploma equivalent, that will now have to try and find the funds to start over again, so you Pete Bleeze need to get you head out of your A*** and think of the impact this happening really has had on such students 🙁
Hi, please can you tell me where you have read, we cannot get our money back? I have been told to contact AIM, unsure if this is correct but its worth a try.
Thank you for this comment. I am one of those currently £2.5K out of pocket and left floating with no other sources of funding available. Since leaving the Army 8 years ago there is only one thing I can say about civilian life and that is, that I am sick of being ripped off at every turn.
How ridiculous and sad is that comment (not very well qualified)!!, I have been a “head off” CMIOSH (& lately FIIRSM) safety practitioner for over15 years, that’s more than 15 years delivering good and sensible safety management and improvements to those that mater – guess what Pete Bleeze, with NVQs and relevant training. Great news that you passed a Diploma, in my mind, application is far more important that academics.
It’s about time this was finally shutdown, the amount of time and money students have wasted, I am all for an alternative to Nebosh, but not at all costs, not a company that soul purpose seemed to be to drag the others down, Terrible marketing, hope all the students left in the lurch soon find an alternative path to NCRO, and we welcome them to the safety advisors family, making workplaces a safer place to be.
