NEBOSH National Diploma
Who Should Study This Course?
The NEBOSH Diploma is the qualification of choice for health and safety professionals. It is a prestigious and demanding course which is ideal for those seeking to further their career in occupational health and safety practice.
There are no course entry requirements but students must be fluent in English as the examinations are set in English and must be answered in English. We also strongly recommend that students should consider taking the National General Certificate (or its equivalent) before undertaking the National Diploma.
This qualification is based on UK law. To view the full course syllabus click here.
Professional Membership
Candidates who pass the National Diploma meet the academic requirements for Membership (Grad IOSH) of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health, and Membership (MIIRSM) of the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management, subject to meeting the post-qualification experience requirements.
"At the start of the course we were afraid and discouraged by the hardness of the NEBOSH course but day-by-day by Mr. Hassan's helpful attitude, friendly way of teaching, encouragement and new teaching techniques gave us so much more confidence that at the end of the course it became a piece of cake. At the beginning it never looked quite possible. His hard work really made it so easy for us. I really salute his great efforts and hard work. Thanks so much Mr. Hassan, really indeed from the depth of my heart."
