The NEBOSH National General Certificate is a qualification designed to help those with health and safety responsibilities, for example, managers, supervisors and employee representatives, to carry out their duties at work and more effectively and to protect the organisations for which they work. It is the most widely held health and safety qualification in the UK with nearly 100,000 people having gained the award since it was launched in 1989. The duration of the course is a minimum of 81 hours plus private study and background reading. Marked homework assignments make use of past NEBOSH examination papers. Assessment is by an end-of-course examination comprising two written papers — NGC1 (The management of safety and health) and NGC2 (Controlling workplace hazards) — and a practical assessment (NGC3) which consists of carrying out a health and safety inspection of a workplace and preparing a management report.
Delegate materials include a copy of the RMS study book for the NEBOSH National General Certificate and free premium individual membership of the Workplace Law Network for the duration of the course.
