What are NEBOSH courses?
NEBOSH courses are globally recognised qualifications which cover health and safety, risk management, fire hazards, environmental and wellbeing subjects.
The full range of NEBOSH certifications takes students from entry-level understanding to becoming fully qualified health and safety professionals.
Over 50,000 people take NEBOSH qualifications every year. Currently, a total of 170,000 people hold the NEBOSH General Certification. But fewer still have gone on to complete the gold standard diploma course.
NEBOSH qualifications cover different levels of expertise, from entry-level to advanced, and are suitable for individuals at various stages of their health and safety careers. They are highly regarded by employers and professionals in various industries worldwide.
