New Syllabus NEBOSH National General Certificate

The NEBOSH National General Certificate is based on UK law and is the most widely recognised and requested qualification in health and safety by employers. The new syllabus is now reduced the NEBOSH National General Certificate from three modules to two. The NEBOSH Construction, Fire and Environmental Qualifications remain as they were, however the NG1 is the foundation module. Both the NG1 and NG2 Modules must be successfully completed in order within five years to achieve the NEBOSH National General Certificate qualification.

RISK is able to deliver the NEBOSH General Certificate remotely online, with tutor led video conference training and with the new remote online Open Book Exam.  The NEBOSH General Certificate is the foundation to the NEBOSH Construction Certificate and NEBOSH Fire Certificate.
