If you have any involvement with your organisation's environmental policies and working procedures, this course will give you practical skills about managing environmental risk.
No previous environmental management knowledge is required. However, it is advantageous that candidates wishing to obtain the NEBOSH General Certificate have a general understanding of Health and Safely prior to attending the course.
All unit examinations and the practical assessment must be taken / answered in English only. Therefore to participate in this course, delegates will be required to read, write, speak and understand English. For example, delegates should be able to read and understand conversational and business English.
NEBOSH recommends that delegates undertaking this qualification should reach a minimum standard of English equivalent to an International English Language Testing System score of 6.0 or higher in IELTS tests.
The qualification is divided into two units, each of which is assessed separately:
Unit EC1: Management and Control of Environmental Hazards
- Foundations in Environmental Management
- Environmental Management Systems
- Environmental Impact Assessments
- Control of Emissions to Air
- Control of Contamination of Water Sources
- Control of Waste and Land Use
- Sources and Use of Energy and Energy Efficiency
- Control of Environmental Noise
- Planning for and Dealing with Environmental Emergencies
Unit EC2: Environmental Practical Assessment
The practical application is normally carried out at the delegate’s workplace and involves an environmental review of a workplace and a justified action plan to improve performance.
The assignment will be explained during the course by the tutor.

The duration of study for the Certificate in Environmental Management is approximately 37 hours, plus 33 hours private study and background reading.
Unit EC1 is a taught unit assessed by a two-hour written examination. The examination consists of ten ‘short-answer’ questions and one ‘long-answer’ question. All questions are compulsory. Candidate scripts are marked by external examiners appointed by NEBOSH.
Unit EC2 is assessed by an environmental review carried out in the delegate's workplace. The written assignment has to be submitted to Jarrold Training within 10 working days (before or after) of the EC1 exam. The assignment is then internally assessed and externally moderated by NEBOSH.
It is the delegate’s responsibility to submit their written assessment within the timescale, any assessments not returned by the deadline will result in the delegate failing this section of the course.
Delegates will receive a unit certificate for each unit passed. On successful completion of all units (EC1 & EC2), the delegate will receive the overall NEBOSH Certificate in Environmental Management Qualification Parchment.
Delegates will need to pass both units within a two year period to achieve the overall qualification. The two year commences from the result declaration date of the first exam.
The course runs from 9:00am through to 5:00pm for each of the five days training. Refreshments are available from 8:45am.
The EC1 exam is 9:30am - 11:30am.
