FAQs
What does NEBOSH stand for?
NEBOSH stands for National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health.
What level is the NEBOSH General Certificate?
In the UK, the NEBOSH General Certificate is considered a level 3 qualification, equivalent to an A Level.
It does not require any prior health and safety knowledge or experience. It provides valuable credentials while also being a stepping stone to higher-level qualifications such as the NEBOSH General Diploma.
What level is the NEBOSH General Diploma?
In the UK, the NEBOSH General Diploma is considered a level 6 qualification, which places it at the same level as the final year of a university undergraduate degree.
The NEBOSH General Diploma typically require significant prior health and safety knowledge or experience, as it is considered more advanced than the NEBOSH general certificate, which is a level 3 qualification.
Achieving this diploma can open doors to more senior roles in health and safety.
What is the difference between national and international qualifications?
The two qualifications are similar in terms of level, but the main difference is how the content is tailored:
The national certificate focuses on UK regulations, standards, and practices.
The international certificate is centred around global health and safety standards, ideal for those working or planning to work outside of the UK, or for those working in multinational companies.
Which NEBOSH course is best for me?
Consider these factors:
- Experience level: If you’re new to health and safety, a NEBOSH certificate is a great starting point. The certificate is designed for people with little or no prior health and safety experience. You will need to complete the certificate before advancing to the diploma-level qualification.
- Career goals: If you’re looking to apply your skills across various industries, NEBOSH general qualifications are ideal (such as NEBOSH National Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety).
If you’re looking to specialise, we also offer NEBOSH qualifications in construction, environmental management, and fire safety.
