Shrimpster as far as I know the entry requirements for the TUC Occupational Health and Safety Diploma are:

Union safety representatives who wish to take this course should have:

•previously attended the TUC stage 1 and 2 Health and Safety Courses; or
•obtained 8 30-hour OCN credits, with a minimum of 4 credits at Level 2 (24 10-hour OCN credits); or
•obtained a suitable equivalent to the two categories above through their own union's courses or from elsewhere.
