No Longer Offered
Serene Safety no longer delivers IIRSM (International Institute of Risk and Safety Management) accredited courses. We have focused our training portfolio on NEBOSH and IOSH qualifications, which offer stronger employer recognition and career progression pathways.
What is IIRSM?
The International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM) is a professional membership body for risk and safety practitioners. IIRSM offered a range of qualifications and courses aimed at providing foundational knowledge in health, safety, and risk management.
While IIRSM qualifications served a purpose, the market has increasingly favoured NEBOSH and IOSH qualifications due to their broader employer recognition, global portability, and alignment with professional membership pathways (such as IOSH membership grades).
Recommended Alternatives
If you were considering an IIRSM course, the following NEBOSH and IOSH qualifications offer equivalent or superior outcomes:
