Developing Effective OHSE Training Courses

Course Description

Developing Effective OHSE Training Courses is a two-day course that provides the OHSE practitioner, whether an internal or external consultant, with the introductory knowledge and skills to design effective training courses based on an analysis of organizational and employee needs. Filled with tools and strategies, the course will take course developers through needs analysis, instructional approaches, design and delivery processes, as well as assessment and evaluation elements within an overall Training Management Framework. The course will also assist decision-makers in evaluating the effectiveness of training courses already in place or courses identified for potential implementation. The course outcomes apply to multi-industry training programs.

While it will be touched upon, it should be noted that this course will not focus on the critical identification of training needs and options as this is offered in a separate CSSE course. Students with a sound background in performing needs analyses and evaluating options will be additionally supported by this second OHSE training course.

Course participants will be able to:

• develop quality learning outcomes which will demonstrate the participants’ ability to integrate their new knowledge, skills, and attitudes effectively in their workplace
• examine the results of a needs analysis to set the training objectives in order to deliver quality learning outcomes
• develop quality lesson plans and course content to meet identified training needs
• analyze delivery methods to ensure the most effective delivery method
• develop appropriate evaluation criteria, strategies, tools, and techniques

Course Examination

The course exam is provided to participants by email within five business days of course completion. Participants have 4 weeks from the release date to complete the exam, along with a Statement of Independent Completion. This statement shows that the participant has read and understood the exam instructions, and is submitting an independently completed exam, with any and all collaboration and outside resources are acknowledged therein. The exam deadline is final. Only documented emergencies will be considered by the CSSE as extenuating circumstances for any written request for extension. Please note that delay in opening the exam after delivery, new or added work requirements, and holidays/vacation are not considered extenuating circumstances.

Successful completion of CHSC courses requires completion of a CHSC Exam with a minimum 75% standard. Exams require several hours additional time commitment beyond in-class time for the student to demonstrate mastery of the course expectations. Candidates who fail to successfully challenge a course exam on three separate occasions will be withdrawn from the CHSC program.
