Dear Student

Congratulations on your decision to study towards an Oxbridge Academy Short Learning

Programme in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). We trust that you will enjoy your studies and
that you will make the most of your time with us. Before you start your course, we would like to
remind you of some key elements pertaining to your OHS course.

What is an Oxbridge Academy Short Learning Programme?

An Oxbridge Academy Short Learning Programme is a non-accredited skills course that has been
developed by the college itself to give you the knowledge and skills you need to work in a specific
environment and to succeed in the workplace.

How can you benefit by studying an Oxbridge Academy Short Learning

Programme?

You can acquire job-relevant knowledge and skills (even if you haven’t completed Matric).
You can complete your course without having to attend any classes.
You can complete your course without having to write any exams.
You can gain formal recognition for knowledge and skills that you have gained through
practical work experience.
You can acquire the knowledge and skills you need to change from one career to another.
You can access our online Student Portal, through which you can submit your assignments
and view your results.
You can contact a tutor by sending an email to assessor@oxbridgeacademy.edu.za.
You will receive an Oxbridge Academy Skills Certificate upon successful completion of your
course.

What is the value in studying an Oxbridge Academy Short Learning

Programme in OHS?

Once you have completed your OHS course at Oxbridge Academy, you will have a basic theoretical
understanding of the relevant occupational health and safety principles. You will also be equipped
with some or all of the skills that you need to take up the role of a safety representative within an
organisation. In addition, you will also have the knowledge and skills required to assist with various
health and safety-related aspects in the workplace.

Please note: The role of a safety representative is not always a full-time job. In some industries, it
is something that you do in addition to your normal job.
These courses will introduce you to different aspects of health and safety legislation and compliance
requirements and can also help you to qualify for membership at a professional body. Becoming a
member of a professional body like Saiosh would not only establish you as a professional in the
field, but also give you more opportunities in terms of career growth.

Studying an Oxbridge Academy Short Learning Programme in OHS is therefore a good idea if you
are currently a member of a health and safety committee at work (or would like to become a
member of such a committee in the future), if you work in human resources, if you run your own
business, or if you are considering starting up your own business (and hiring employees) in the
future.
