Levels of on-the-job training vary greatly due to the broad nature of the field. Many ergonomists gain the core skills and techniques they require for particular job areas on their undergraduate or postgraduate ergonomics degree. However, each particular area will also have its own additional specific training requirements, for example in procedures, systems and in-house regulations.
The extent of on-the-job support available depends on individual employers. It is recommended that individuals progress their own training and development. The Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors provides a range of courses and seminars to enable experienced ergonomists to develop expertise in specialist areas. The institute also supports the skills development of graduate members and helps them gain registered membership.
