NEBOSH International General Certificate

The NEBOSH International General Certificate provides an excellent foundation in occupational safety and health, helping those who study it manage risk more effectively. The NEBOSH International Certificate is based on international standards and is suitable for people in any industry sector, anywhere in the world. It is ideal for:

Managers, supervisors, employee representatives.
Those looking to start a career in health and safety.

If you work within the UK only, then the NEBOSH National General Certificate might be more suitable.

You can study the NEBOSH International Certificate by attending a classroom or blended learning course at one of our high-quality training venues in the UK and Middle East, or by distance/e-learning with unlimited help and support from our expert NEBOSH trainers - a great option for those who need a more flexible way to study the NEBOSH Certificate. Our blended learning course allows you to study the course by distance/e-learning and then attend a two-day classroom workshop which provides intensive tutor-led revision before you sit your exam.

The NEBOSH International Certificate is widely respected by employers worldwide; it meets the requirements for Technician Membership of IOSH and Associate Membership of IIRSM.

The NEBOSH International General Certificate also provides the perfect grounding for progression onto the NEBOSH International Diploma.

Exemptions

IGC1 is the core unit for all of the NEBOSH International Health and Safety Certificates, so to gain a NEBOSH International Certificate you need to study IGC1 along with the relevant specialist unit and practical assessment.

If you have been awarded a NEBOSH International Certificate in the last 5 years and wish to take another, you will be exempt from IGC1 and can simply 'top up' with the specialist unit and practical assessment to achieve the new award.

IGC

Assessment

Units IGC1 and IGC2 of the NEBOSH International Certificate are each assessed by one two-hour written examination. Unit IGC3 is assessed by a two-hour practical assessment carried out in your workplace.

Exams take place in March, June, September and December. We have exam centres in over 80 countries worldwide and we make all the arrangements for you.

All of our courses contain plenty of exam practice to ensure you are fully prepared for the exam. Many of our trainers are also NEBOSH examiners, so they're well placed to provide advice and guidance throughout your course.
