NEBOSH International Diploma

NEBOSH Logo

The NEBOSH International Diploma is a prestigious and highly-respected qualification, which is seen as the leading qualification for health and safety practitioners around the globe. The course covers health and safety management, hazardous agents, and work equipment safety and builds on the topics studied in the NEBOSH International Certificate courses.

If you intend to work as a health and safety practitioner in the UK, the NEBOSH National Diploma might be more suitable.

You can study the NEBOSH International Diploma by attending a classroom or blended learning course at our RRC Middle East offices in Bahrain and Dubai, or alternatively 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 International Diploma meets the requirements to apply for graduate membership of IOSH (GradIOSH). With continuing professional development (CPD) you can then become a chartered safety and health practitioner as a chartered member of IOSH (CMIOSH). It also allows you to use the letters 'IDipNEBOSH' after your name.

Assessment

Units IA, IB and IC of the NEBOSH International Diploma are each assessed via one three-hour written examination. Unit ID is assessed via a written assignment of approximately 8,000 words.
