Ways to Learn

What is the NEBOSH General Certificate Online/E-learning Course?

The NEBOSH National General Certificate online/e-learning course covers the exact same content as the tried and tested classroom NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety.

As with our standard and fast track NEBOSH National General Certificate course, the e-learning version covers the main legal requirements for safety in the UK, a range of workplace hazards, and methods of control.

*Rated 4.8 out of 5 by learners on Coursecheck, TSW Training has been a trusted and established training provider of choice for 56 years.

Who is this Course For?

This online course is for managers, supervisors, and staff from all types of organisations, who need a broad understanding of health and safety issues.

This e-learning route for this course is suited to those that wish to limit the amount of time that they are away from the workplace. If you are self-motivated and prefer to learn at your own pace then this is the learning method for you.

*If you prefer face to face interaction with a tutor and peers then you might be better off with one of our standard or fast track classroom NEBOSH courses.

How is this Course Assessed?

The NEBOSH National General Certificate is assessed in two parts:

  • NG1 – An online open-book examination to assess what you have learned and know about health and safety
  • NG2 – A 3-hour practical risk assessment to assess your application of health and safety knowledge. You will complete a risk assessment in your workplace and develop an action plan that is immediately useful and valuable for your organisation

You will need to pass both parts to achieve your NEBOSH General Certificate. 

NEBOSH has introduced an open book exam for the NEBOSH National General Certificate (NG1). This exam is a replacement for the closed book exams (carried out in an examinations venue) and allows you to sit your NEBOSH exam in your own home or at another suitable location (i.e. workplace, quiet room in a library etc.).

Once you have completed the online course, you will contact us to find out when the next exam date is being held and to register yourself for your chosen date. More information on the open book exam.

How Long Does the Course Last?

NEBOSH recommends that the National General Certificate e-learning course will require a minimum of 113 hours of learning and study time, plus the time required to complete the exam. Depending on the time you have available to learn the online course can take from 3-9 months to complete.

Read our latest course reviews

A very interesting and well delivered course. I think a few mock questions to be answered as a group could have better prepared us for the NG1 paper. This is a small detail, but something that could be fed back. Chris is an excellent teacher. Supportive patient and is willing to give his time to support the whole class.
Richard H April 8, 2024
Chris Lee was a great instructor with a wealth of knowledge and information
Alex D April 8, 2024
The knowledge, understanding and teaching style of Chris Lee played a big factor in my learning. He was very engaging and made the course enjoyable. Highly recommend Chris as an Instructor.
Ross J April 8, 2024
More emphasis should be placed on practising the exam questions at the end of each lesson. And perhaps should be submitted each week. With the risk assessment process. A risk assessment should be completed for each hazard and checked each week rather than just read through the text book.
