NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety

This course is suitable for managers, supervisors and staff from all types of organisations making day-to-day decisions at work who need a broad understanding of health and safety issues and to be able to manage risks effectively.

The NEBOSH National General Certificate is the most widely held health and safety qualification of its kind in the UK. Many people take the NEBOSH National General Certificate as a first step in a career in health and safety. It provides a valuable overview and is a sound basis for further professional study. 

SSG offer this over 10 days plus an online scenario-based assessment. It is delivered as a classroom and virtual course; delegates can choose to mix these learning styles throughout the duration of the course. This enables delegates to be flexible with their learning to suit their needs whilst still getting the same quality training, support and communication with tutors and other learners.

When booking, please indicate how you will be attending the first day of the course so we can ensure your learning materials are with you in the right location.

 In addition to classroom-based study, delegates will be expected to undertake a minimum of 40 hours’ private study time.

 Alternatively, SSG offer this as an e-learning course, which takes approximately 120 hours to complete, plus a scenario-based assessment and a practical risk assessment. Delegates will be able to check their progress throughout the course using the e-learning checks at the end of each part of the course.

Delegates will be given a 12 month licence upon first access, in which to complete the course. Once this licence expires, delegates will be required to pay a fee to reactivate it and must contact our Customer Service Team for more information.

Please note: This does not include the costs for exams — these cost £225 and will be charged separately at time of exam booking.
