The NEBOSH General Certificate is accredited at Level 3 within the National Qualification Framework and also meets the academic requirements of IOSH for Technician membership (TechIOSH). The qualification is also accepted by the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (llRSM) for associate membership.

Some NEBOSH General Certificate courses are also delivered as e-learning or blended formats.

The NEBOSH General Certificate is divided into three units. Units NGC1 and NGC2 are generally taught units and are both assessed by written examination. The third NEBOSH unit, NGC3 is assessed by a practical examination. A brief overview of the units is given below, with further details in course overviews.

NEBOSH General Certificate Unit NGC3 - Health and safety practical application. For this unit candidates are required to carry out an unaided inspection of a workplace, identifying the more common hazards and then deciding whether they are adequately controlled. They then need to prepare a report to persuade management on remedial measures that need to be taken. Students will normally be required to complete the NGC3 assessment within 14 days (before or after) of sitting the examination for Units NGC1 and/or NGC2.
