In Angola and Mozambique, the growth of the geological mining sector reinforces OSH training requirements in remote and high-risk operations, highlighting vulnerabilities in prevention and safety culture. Objectives: To describe the design of the Occupational Safety and Health Training Program (OSHTP) and the trainee-centred methodology. Methodology: The program consists of 180 hours and is worth 6 ECTS credits, comprising five modules that are designed using a constructive alignment approach (linking skills to outcomes, activities, and assessment evidence), which includes technical visits. Each class follows a structured cycle: a 45-minute presentation, a 15-minute reflection period, 90 minutes of group problem-solving, and a 30-minute individual assessment conducted in an e-learning format. Results: OSHTP combines occupational hygiene/safety and health at work (OSH), risk assessment and control, technical safety, and fieldwork to produce evidence of learning. Conclusions: The design aims to reinforce applied skills (hazard identification, control selection, and emergency preparedness) and align assessment with diagnosis, feedback, and digital portfolio.
