NEBOSH General Certificate

NEBOSH General Certificate Training

The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) is an independent awarding body attracting 15,000 candidates each year and was founded in 1979.

NEBOSH qualifications are recognised and respected by employers in all sectors of the economy and provide the benchmark standard against which others are compared.

NEBOSH was the first health and safety awarding body to have been given accreditation by the government's Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA). You can therefore be assured that a NEBOSH qualification provides evidence of real achievement.

The NEBOSH syllabus has changed and can now be divided into units. These changes allow delegates to gain units to achieve new qualifications without having to study or be assessed on topics that have already been covered in a previous NEBOSH qualification.

Delegates will be awarded a certificate to denote achievements of each unit and an overall qualification parchment when you successfully pass all of the three units of the qualification. For further information our NEBOSH services, please contact us.
