The NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Safety and Health 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 more effectively and to protect the organisations for which they work.
The NEBOSH General Certificate is accredited at Level 3 within the National Qualification Framework and also meets the academic requirements of IOSH for Technician membership (TechIOSH). The qualification is also accepted by the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (llRSM) for associate membership.
For this qualification you should plan your study around 80 taught hours and approximately 53 hours of private study and background reading. Please refer to the full NEBOSH Syllabus Guide for more details.
If you need date flexibility you can buy each unit separately. See the full NEBOSH course list for more details.
We offer different course structures. Please check individual session dates for more details or call us on 01603 677107.
Is this course right for you?
It is recommended that delegates have a good understanding and experience of Health and Safely prior to attending the course. Please call us on 01603 677107 to discuss the course level and requirements prior to booking.
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.
What will I learn?
The NEBOSH National General Certificate covers the main legal requirements for health and safety in the UK, identification and control of workplace hazards, and the practical application of this knowledge. The syllabus is mapped to the National Occupational Standards for Health and Safety owned by ENTO.
The qualification is divided into two units, each of which is assessed separately:
Unit NGC1: Management of Health and Safety
Foundations in Health and Safety
Health and Safety Management Systems - Plan, Do, Check and Act
Unit GC2: Control of Workplace Hazards
Workplace Hazards and Risk Control
Transport Hazards and Risk Control
Musculoskeletal Hazards and Risk Control
Work Equipment Hazards and Risk Control
Electrical Safety
Fire Safety
Chemical and Biological Health Hazards and Risk Control
Physical and Psychological Health Hazards and Risk Control
Unit GC3: Health and Safety Practical Application
The practical examination is normally carried out at the delegate’s work premises and involves a physical inspection of a workplace to assess the hazards. It is designed to test a delegate’s ability to complete a health and safety assessment and produce a management style report on their findings.
The assignment will be explained during the course by the tutor.
Unit NGC1: 36 hours tuition and 23 hours private study. Total: 59 hours
Unit GC2: 42 hours tuition and 26 hours private study. Total: 68 hours
Unit GC3: 2 hours tuition and 4 hours private study. Total: 6 hours
Your study therefore needs to be based around 80 taught hours and approximately 53 hours of private study.
How is it assessed?
Units NGC1 and GC2 are taught units, each assessed by a two-hour written examination. Each written examination consists of ten ‘short-answer’ questions and one ‘long-answer’ question. All questions are compulsory. The papers are marked by external examiners appointed by NEBOSH.
Unit GC3 is a practical assignment carried out by the delegates in their workplace. The written assignment has to be submitted to Jarrold Training within 10 working days of the GC2 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.
What accreditations will I gain?
Delegates will receive a unit certificate for each unit passed. On successful completion of all units (NGC1, GC2 & GC3), the delegate will receive the overall NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety Qualification Parchment.
Delegates will need to pass all three units within a five year period to achieve the overall qualification. The five year commences from the result declaration date of the first exam.
When all three unit certificates have been awarded (ie, have achieved a Pass in units NGC1, GC2 and GC3), the marks are added together and a final grade is awarded as follows:
Pass 150 - 179 marks
Credit 180 - 209 marks
Distinction 210 marks or more
The NEBOSH General Certificate is accredited at Level 3 within the National Qualification Framework and also meets the academic requirements of IOSH for Technician membership (TechIOSH). The qualification is also accepted by the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (llRSM) for associate membership.
What to expect on the day?
The course runs from 9:00am through to 5:00pm for each of the 10 days training. Refreshments are available from 8:45am.
The revision day consists of two half day sessions, either 9am - 1pm or 1pm - 5pm.
