• Knowledge of the requirements of ISO 45001:2018 and the commonly used terms associated with each standard is a key pre-requisite in attending this course. Without this knowledge, the course & final examinations may be very challenging.
• Knowledge of ISO 45001:2018 may be gained by completing a relevant Foundation training course or equivalent

Fluency in spoken and written English

• For participants whose first language is not English, we recommend a minimum English language competency of IELTS 5.5 (or equivalent) for successful completion of the program. This is not assessed by Comply Guru in advance & each participant must self-assess their competency.

Copy of ISO 45001 (International Standards)

• It is recommended that each Learner should have a copy of ISO 45001:2018 (International Standards) to reference while completing this course. This is not provided by Comply Guru and without it, this course will be challenging to complete successfully.

In order to successfully complete this course, each Learner will need to:

1. Complete the eLearning modules and obtain 70% or higher in the final assessments (MCQ-based) by the required deadline set in advance of the given workshop dates you are registered for
2. Fully attend the Live Instructor Workshops as 100% attendance is required
3. Obtain 70% or higher in the graded assessments during the Live Instructor Workshops

There are recommended requirements for each Learner in wishing to complete any of our eLearning modules. In our experience, Workplace IT environments’ internal configurations and available software can vary (new or old), and there may be various limitations or other restrictions in place, and as such, the functionality of any Learning Management System (LMS) may be impacted, restricted and may not perform well.
