NEBOSH

The NEBOSH General Certificate is a foundation level qualification for people new to health and safety. It’s suitable for all types of workers, from budding health and safety officers to HR managers and even company directors.

The NEBOSH International General Certificate takes a broader approach based on best practice and inter-national standards, like the International Labour Organisation (ILO) codes of practice. They cover local laws and cultural factors when appropriate, too. If you work outside the UK or travel a lot, then the Inter-national version will be more useful.

We have joined hand with “Astutis” a global leader in HSE services to provide NEBOSH IGC course online. Astutis, led by an experienced management team of industry professionals with a reputation for delivering high-quality training over the last 15 years, Astutis launched in January 2011 with 3 UK training venues.

The NEBOSH General Certificate is recognised as a level-3 vocational qualification on the UK Regulated Qualification Framework (RQF) and Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF). That’s like an A-level.

In the Scottish Credit and Qualification Framework (SCQF), it’s recognised as a level 6 with 15 credit points. In the National Framework Qualification for Ireland, it’s recognised as a level 5.

In South Africa, the NEBOSH General Certificate is equivalent to a SAMTRAC level 5. And in Australia it’s recognised as the same level as the Australian Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety.

The course is largely recognised as the perfect way to kick-start a career in health and safety. But it’s also great if you just want to improve your knowledge to be able to do your job better.
