The NEBOSH National General Certificate is a qualification designed to help those with health and safety responsibilities including managers, supervisors and staff from all types of organisations who need a broad understanding of health and safety issues. The certificate helps them manage risks effectively. Many people take the NEBOSH Certificate as a first step on a career in health and safety. It provides a valuable overview, and is a sound basis for professional study.

Is the NEBOSH Certificate a recognised qualification?

The NEBOSH Certificate is accepted by IOSH - the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health - in meeting the academic requirements for Technician Membership of IOSH.

Many larger organisations choose the NEBOSH 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 an effective safety culture in the company.
