Program overview
The Graduate Certificate - Occupational Health and Safety Management (Co-op) (OLH1) is a 2 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
The OHS graduate certificate runs two years with co-op — hazard recognition, OHS law, industrial hygiene, incident investigation and management systems. Every Ontario employer is legally bound to the systems these graduates administer, which makes safety one of the most recession-resistant professions a certificate can buy.
The setting matters: London is a purpose-built student city of half a million, priced well below the GTA, with Express Entry and OINP pathways open to graduates who stay to work in Ontario.
Treat the field code — CIP 15.0701 (Occupational health and safety management) — as part of the admission decision: confirm it on the PGWP-aligned page and with IRCC before enrolment, not after.
What it costs per year · indicative
Living cost is an estimate; tuition is the institute's published international fee. We confirm exact, current figures before you pay anything.
Do you qualify?
These are the published minimums. Whether your profile fits — with your marks, gap and budget — is exactly what a free counsellor check confirms.

Who can apply (guide for international students):

Application fee $100 CAD. Apply well before the February 1 equal-consideration date for September entry — capped international seats mean popular programs fill early.
