NEBOSH International Diploma 

The NEBOSH International Diploma is prestigious and highly-respected qualification, which is seen as the leading qualification for health and safety practitioners around the globe. The course covers health and safety management, hazardous agents, and work-equipment safety and builds on the topics studied in the NEBOSH International Certificate courses.

If you intend to work as a health and safety practitioner in the UK, the NEBOSH National Diploma might be more suitable. 

You can study the NEBOSH International Diploma by attending a classroom or blended learning course in Bahrain, Dubai or London, or by e-learning with unlimited help and support from our expert NEBOSH trainers - a great option for those who need to fit studying around other commitments. Our blended learning course allows you to study some of the course by e-learning and then attend three five-day classroom workshops (one week each for units IA, IB and IC) to look at key topics in depth.

The NEBOSH International Diploma is highly respected by employers worldwide. It meets the requirements to apply for graduate membership of IOSH (GradIOSH). With continuing professional development (CPD) you can then become a chartered safety and health practitioner as a chartered member of IOSH (CMIOSH). It also allows you to use the letters 'IDipNEBOSH' after your name.
