The NEBOSH International General Certificate course is split into three units of study, each of which is assessed separately:

• Unit IGC1: Management of International Health and Safety
• • Foundations in Health and Safety
  • Policy
  • Organising for Health and Safety
  • Promoting a Positive Health and Safety Culture
  • Risk Assessment
  • Principles of Control
  • Monitoring, Review and Audit
  • Occupational Incident and Accident Investigation, Recording and Reporting
• Unit IGC2: Control of International Workplace Hazards
• • Movement of People and Vehicles
  • Manual and Mechanical Handling
  • Work Equipment
  • Electrical
  • Fire
  • Chemical and Biological Health
  • Physical and Psychological Health
  • Construction Activities
• Unit IGC3: Workplace-Based Practical Assessment

You must complete all units within 5 years to achieve the full NEBOSH International General Certificate qualification.

IGC1 is the core unit for all of the NEBOSH International Health and Safety Certificates, so to gain a NEBOSH International Certificate you need to study IGC1 along with the relevant specialist unit and practical assessment.

If you have been awarded a NEBOSH International Certificate in the last 5 years and wish to take another, you will be exempt from IGC1 and can simply 'top up' with the specialist unit and practical assessment to achieve the new award.

Units IGC1 and IGC2 of the NEBOSH International Certificate are each assessed by one two-hour written examination. Unit IGC3 is assessed by a two-hour practical assessment carried out in your workplace.
