Course Attendees
This course is suitable for managers and professional health and safety practitioners and equips the holders to advise on effective management over a wide range of industry sectors. It is a level 6 qualification (UK National Qualifications Network) and as such is regarded as equivalent to a university degree.
Entry to the NEBOSH National Diploma assumes a level of knowledge equivalent to NEBOSH National General Certificate and builds from this point. Therefore it is highly recommended that applicants possess a NEBOSH certificate or equivalent level.
All applicants will be evaluated individually considering the knowledge and experience necessary for success on the NEBOSH National Diploma.
NOTE: Delegates must be proficient in the use of written English as assessments are currently offered, and must be answered, in English only. They must be able to both understand and articulate the concepts contained in the syllabus.
