NEBOSH National General Certificate 

NEBOSH Approved Centre LOGO

The NEBOSH National General Certificate provides an excellent foundation in occupational safety and health for all types of organisations. It helps its holders manage risk effectively by covering a broad range of topics, and is ideal for:

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

The NEBOSH National General Certificate is based on UK legislation so if you do not intend to work in the UK, the NEBOSH International General Certificate might be more suitable.

You can study the NEBOSH Certificate by attending a classroom course at one of our high-quality training venues or by distance/e-learning, with unlimited help and support from our expert NEBOSH trainers - a great option for those who need to fit studying around other commitments.

The NEBOSH Certificate is a widely respected qualification; holders are entitled to apply for Associate Membership of IOSH and it meets the academic requirements for Technician Membership of IOSH and Associate Membership of IIRSM. It also provides the perfect grounding for progression other NEBOSH Qualifications such as the NEBOSH Diploma.

Exemptions

NGC1 is the core unit for all of the NEBOSH National Health and Safety Certificates, so to gain a NEBOSH Certificate you need to study NGC1 along with the relevant specialist unit and practical assessment.

If you have been awarded a NEBOSH Certificate in the last 5 years and wish to take another, you will be exempt from NGC1 and can simply 'top up' with the specialist unit and practical assessment to achieve the new award.

NGCpic

Assessment

Units NGC1 and NGC2 of the NEBOSH Certificate are each assessed by one two-hour written exam. Unit NGC3 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.
