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.
Is this course right for you?
There are no pre-requisites to attend this course. 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.
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 three 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 assessment 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.
The duration of study for the National General Certificate is a minimum of 80 taught hours and approximately 53 hours of private study.
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.
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).
