IOSH Reviews 

That's waste of time, long response time. It took over 3 months to get response about my membership transfer. Even thoough I'm over 15 years experienced professional with msc degree, they refuse to give me certiosh due to h&s policy not included in uni programme. They don't care that I produces many of them already working as safety consultant. There is no benefits in being part of this organisation. Milions mails inviting for conference, for which you have also pay.

I applied for a job a couple of times got rejected with no feedback. Absolutely disgusting when I have over 29 years experience in training. No specific feedback, which if you work truly in training is a golden rule

If it was possible, I wouldn't give IOSH a single star.

Despite 26 years working within the EHS sector, being NEBOSH qualified and holding Tech IOSH status previously, IOSH have made it virtually impossible for me to get that status back. I've been back and forth so many times that I've lost the will to fight anymore. I had to let my prior membership slide due to having over a year off work due to major surgery.

Now, they've totally blocked my route back in.

My advice to anyone joining? Don't bother. It's not worth the stress

I can only agree with the comments posted below. Customer service is very poor. Its almost impossible getting a response to issues or questions in any reasonable time. I just did the three Ethical Modules that suggest that IOSH is a model of high ethical standard and professionalism and yet, that's not the experience I have been experiencing. Good luck if you are trying to upgrade your membership, that's a pretty poor service as well. Ironically, the emails are coming fast and frequent regarding due membership fees.

Members who pay a substantial amount to begin with, are required to stay up-to-date on CPD hours, all to receive appalling experience and service in return.
From baffling waiting times to receive feedback or test results, to receiving no response when actively attempting to join certain IOSH lead groups. IOSH are very good at sending out monthly newsletters, this must be what they spend all their time doing. I have met more people who have been put off by IOSH this year than any other year. An institution who seem happy to be losing keen learners each year.

Sadly IOSH seems to have a culture of clear disdain for members. We pay our subs but seem to be an inconvenience! Sadly IOSH now seems to be most interested in IOSH rather than the world of safety or the professionals who work in this industry.

Just finished an IOSH course in Manchester. Ian Campbell was the trainer and he was excellent, so knowledgable and it was really interesting. I highly recommend

Where to start. Information supplied to IOSH with personal and sensitive information lost. #informationcommisionersoffice

Category transfer information silent re NEBOSH qual not being recognised for validity until after joining, however strangely silent beforehand.

Customer service needs huge improvement as this is very poor.

Will now look at alternative organisation membership and intend cancelling IOSH as this should be essential information provided upfront and for transparency.

Not very helpful, don't want to give proper answers to questions about membership categories. Mostly seems like a paid email subscription service at present. Updating to say they refused to tell me why they won't update my membership tier when I have all the requirements stated they want for that tier of membership on their website. Communication is terrible and get nothing for your membership fee. Don't bother joining, it is worth nothing. I let my membership lapse as it was useless.
