Taught by professionals in the field, the University of New Brunswick's (UNB) Certificate in Occupational Health & Safety (COHS) focuses on equipping learners with practical process skills, rather than technical content alone.
The COHS is designed to prepare students to write the exam to become a Canadian Registered Safety Professional (CRSP®) as granted by the Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals (BCRSP®). The program closely follows the nine domains covered in the CRSP® certification exam blueprint.
This program is tailored to meet different needs including, but not limited to, current OHS practitioners who want to add to their OHS credentials; individuals looking for a career change; and, those wanting to gain entry to the field of OHS.
You can find out about available awards and scholarships and prior learning options.

Occupational Health, Safety and Environmental work experience and professional development requirements must also be met in order to be eligible for certification.
