Find a public health pathway

1. Create your Education Hub online account
2. Select your pathway option (Associate or Member)
3. Add your chosen modules to reach 60 points
4. Start your learning!

The level 2 (associate) pathway has a 12-month timespan, while the level 3 (member) pathway needs to be completed within 18 months.

All Pathway learners must complete the RSPH Level 2 Award in Public Health. You can do this online, via self-directed eLearning, or through one of RSPH’s approved training centres. This baseline qualification is worth 20 points, and you can then self-select the other education modules to reach the 60-point threshold.

You can select any of the modules available through the Education Hub, but learners completing the Level 3 Public Health Member Pathway must choose at least one module at Level 3.

Once you have chosen your modules, you should find your training provider to start your learning. You can do this in one of two ways:

1. Find an online course offered by RSPH

2. Find an approved centre delivering your chosen module

Register for an online course or contact your chosen centre to book your place.

1. Login to Education Hub.

2. Click on the My Education Pathway tile.

3. Select to ‘upload evidence’ – this is where you should submit your qualification or training certificate.

4. The RSPH Team will review and approve your evidence and update your profile to add your points.

Every time you complete a module you will be able to upload evidence to take the next step toward completing your pathway.

You maintain your status through renewal of your membership and completion of the reflection activities in the Education Hub. Instructions for the completion of your reflection activities will be provided on pathway completion, and you will be reminded one month before the due date each year.

If you have completed the RSPH Level 2 Public Health Associate Pathway and wish to progress to Level 3, you can do so at any time by registering through the My Learning portal.

When you have completed your final module and uploaded your evidence, the RSPH team will review and approve your submission. On successful completion, you will receive your RSPH Pathway certificate and instructions for activating your RSPH Membership.

Yes, if you have completed an RSPH qualification in the last 3 years, you can upload your certificate as evidence retrospectively to obtain points for the pathway. Make sure you select this qualification when building your modular pathway.

While all our pathways vary according to the needs of their sectors and learners, they typically consist of a series of regulated qualifications between Level 1 and Level 5.

The point at which you enter a pathway is based on both the requirements of the sector, as well as your current skills and experience. A pathway could be accessed by someone looking for employment within the sector, or by an experienced practitioner looking to develop their skills and progress to the next stage of their career.

Over 2025, we are launching sector pathways in the following areas:

• Anatomical Pathology Technology

• Social Prescribing

• Emergency Planning, Preparedness and Response (EPPR)
