Course details

The NEBOSH International General Certificate (IGC) is the most popular NEBOSH qualification worldwide and a mark of international excellence

With 100 years experience, RoSPA (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) is a leading training provider, and a name that opens doors both in the UK and overseas

The NEBOSH General Certificate contains UK health and safety law, whereas the NEBOSH International Certificate focuses on international health and safety standards and management systems

The IGC syllabus (PDF) takes a risk management approach based on best practice and international standards, such as the International Labour Organisation (ILO) codes of practice

It is therefore ideal for managers, supervisors and employees based outside of the UK who require a broad knowledge and understanding of health and safety

The NEBOSH International Certificate is also suitable for anyone embarking on a career in health and safety

Successful candidates meet the academic requirements for Technical Membership of IOSH and Associate Membership of the IIRSM

The NEBOSH International course is divided into 3 Units; two are assessed by exams, and one by a written assignment

As exams are in English NEBOSH recommend that candidates undertaking the NEBOSH International course should reach the equivalent of 6.0 or higher under the International English Language Testing System (IELTS).

About RoSPA

Accidents are the biggest threat to you and your family for most of your life. In fact, more than 14,000 people die as a result of accidents across the UK each year, while thousands more are maimed and millions are injured. Businesses are ruined. Families are devastated. Children grow up without parents, parents without children.

Yet despite the scale and severity of the problem, accidents are still too often discussed with a shrug of the shoulders. There is a pervasive belief amongst some people that accidents are somehow inevitable. That they can't be stopped.
