NOSA Academy Courses
The National Occupational Safety Association (NOSA), a body providing training in health and safety, was established by the South African government in 1951 but has long been taken over by new owners.
NOSA has a very rich course bouquet that you can pick from. Each course is further divided into several areas from which you can choose if you want to specialize.
Some of the courses offered by NOSA are: working at heights courses, fire safety courses, first aid courses, general industry courses, skills programs, international courses, executive level courses, mining industry courses, NQA OHSAS & ISO certification, SHE courses, SHE legislation courses, and specialized courses.
Details of these courses, including divisions and fees, are given in the “fees” section of this article below.
Application Form
Looking forward to applying for one of the courses offered by NOSA? You’re probably on the right track. At the moment, though, applicants for safety courses cannot just access the form online.
To get the SafetySA Form, for example, potential applicants should navigate to the site https://NOSA.co.za/pluginops_forms/safetysa-form/ and fill in their names, email, and mobile phone number. NOSA will get in touch with you shortly regarding your interest in the application form.
Prices & Fees
NOSA offers many courses in health, safety, and environment. Some courses last days, while others last months and even years. In most cases, the longer the courses, the higher the fees/ prices.

Accreditation
An accreditation is like a certification a training organization is capable of doing what it claims it can, and has got the backing of the authorities. Without it, whatever certificate one obtains is of no value in the larger society, as it would not be recognized.
Here, you need not worry about NOSA, though. The company is SO 9001 certified and SETA accredited. It is also reportedly the first company in South Africa to provide NEBOSH international certificates
