"The "International Program in Occupational Health Practice" uses a virtual and interactive learning platform to deliver high quality specialist training to all parts of the globe, filling a much needed training gap. The students, whether from developed or emerging economies, have benefited from the course by enabling them to implement scientifically sound, ethical and effective occupational health programs in the workplaces they support."

Dr. Mark Cunningham-Hill MB ChB (MD) FFOM Director Global Occupational Health & Productivity Global Health Services Johnson & Johnson

"This course has really broken the prejudice that still exists in several countries regarding online education. I think this program has spectacular academic value! The faculty has professional experience beyond doubt and is always ready to solve problems with their effectiveness and efficiency; indeed they have shown a human quality that is not seen in other programs.
... All this together means that I personally recommend [this program] to my fellow doctors and technicians."

“I thought I knew all the aspects of Occupational Health prior to enrolling in this Course.But I was wrong. I learned that my professional background as a Registered Nurse and my work experiences as an Industrial Nurse for 22 years was not enough. This Course made me a competent Occupational Health Practitioner and I now work with confidence.”
