Welcome to Pinnacle's 100% online Diploma Work Health and Safety (BSB51319) course.

This online course has been designed for individuals progressing from operational WHS roles into senior advisory or leadership positions. This nationally recognised qualification is suited to supervisors and managers who apply substantial knowledge and well-developed skills across a broad range of WHS contexts.

This qualification is suited to individuals who have completed the Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety, or who have substantial practical experience in WHS, and are seeking to expand their capability in strategic risk management, systems design, and organisational influence. 

Pinnacle's Diploma program is not like the others that have you complete one unit at a time for the amount of units required of the qualification. We have built a course that is clustered into three modules. This means you are completing integrated assessment and not unit-based assessment like the other providers do. This approach allows you to complete a more simplified, holistic assessment process and not duplicate assessment tasks.
