How you’d get it

How you’d get this certificate

  1. Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
  2. You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer Qualifi Ltd has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
  3. The centre assesses, and Qualifi Ltd awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from Qualifi Ltd.

More on studying for a qualification

01What it is

The Level 7 International Diploma in Process Safety Management is designed for professionals in process industries, focusing on developing and applying process safety management. It aims to equip learners with competencies required for a career as process safety managers and provides a foundation for further academic study.

These are the units Qualifi Ltd registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work.

Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with Qualifi Ltd. It does the teaching and the mapping. Qualifi Ltd sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

How you’d practise it

You don’t watch this. You do it.

You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.
