Course Description

At Accelerate Management College, we offer an accredited online Occupational Health and Safety course. This course is accredited by the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO), endorsed by Saiosh in South Africa, and recognised by the Quality License Scheme (QLS) in the United Kingdom.
