Looking for a course in occupational health & safety but not sure which one to go for? Perhaps NEBOSH can help! Despite being around for many years, NEBOSH still carries an element of confusion for many in terms of what it is, what it does and why many view it as important and beneficial. In this blog we dive into the things you need to know about NEBOSH before you decide on a course to book.
What is NEBOSH?
The ‘National Examination Board in Occupational Safety & Health’, more commonly known as NEBOSH, is a distributor of syllabuses, assignments, exams and course materials to accredited providers who deliver training to those enrolled on NEBOSH courses.
Who Should Consider NEBOSH?
Those working in health and safety should be considering a NEBOSH qualification if they haven’t done so already, as people within this industry are typically expected to hold the relevant NEBOSH certificate for their area of work and upgraded NEBOSH certificates are closely linked to career progression for many. Alongside this, NEBOSH certificates are instantly acknowledged by professional membership bodies such as IOSH and IIRSM. However, acquiring a NEBOSH qualification does not mean that you receive automatic IOSH membership.
Is NEBOSH a Popular Choice?
In a nutshell, yes. NEBOSH courses are very popular and are often held in high esteem, with more than 30,000 candidates sitting exams and courses year on year. NEBOSH is not only recognised within the UK, but also around the world with courses being provided in 33 different countries. From basic health and safety qualifications to more advanced NEBOSH certificates, NEBOSH covers all bases and provides professionally recognised qualifications to equip people with essential skills and knowledge as well as potential desired career progression.
What is a NEBOSH Certificate?
The NEBOSH Certificate is the most widely recognised health and safety certificate in the United Kingdom. It's perfect if you're trying to start a career in safety since it's so well-known and well-regarded – and although some prior knowledge is helpful, there are no official entry requirements. Upon working towards a NEBOSH Certificate, candidates will sit a course split into three parts, with two exams and a practical assignment.
Not only do NEBOSH courses benefit those working within the UK, but also those working overseas. The NEBOSH International Certificate substitutes the UK-based rules, regulations and laws.
What is a NEBOSH Diploma?
The NEBOSH Diploma is a prominent and highly-regarded qualification that leads the way to Chartered (CMIOSH) status. It is known to be a difficult and challenging course split into four modules with three assessed by examinations and one by an assignment, but despite its level of difficulty, the NEBOSH Diploma continues to grow in popularity as more and more safety professionals realise the benefits of acquiring this certificate.
