NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health & Safety

Overview

Many larger organisations choose the NEBOSH. National General Certificate as a key part of
their supervisors’ or management development programme. By ensuring that line managers
have a sound understanding of the principles of risk management they build aneffective safety culture in the company.

The NEBOSH National General Certificate is accepted by IOSH – the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health – in meeting the academic requirements for Technician Membership of IOSH (Tech IOSH). It is also accepted by The International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM) for
associate membership.

Smaller organisations, operating in lower risk environments, often choose the NEBOSH National General Certificate as the appropriate qualification for the manager taking the lead on health and safety issues. The choice of course format can allow employers to fit training around the needs of the business. Many of NEBOSH’s training providers will offer courses in-company, which allows for material reflecting the organisation’s own systems of work or hazards to be included.

Candidates are assessed with written examinations for each of the two taught units.
A unit certificate is issued denoting successful achievement of each unit. A Certificate parchment is issued on completion of the two units and the practical assessment.
