NEBOSH Qualifications

Cambridge Safety is a NEBOSH Gold Learning partner, running a range of health and safety courses leading to NEBOSH qualifications. These are the most highly recognised qualifications in the field of health and safety, being recognised not only in the UK but internationally as well.

NEBOSH (The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health) was formed in 1979 as an independent examining board and awarding body with charitable status. They have established a comprehensive range of vocational qualifications designed to meet modern health, safety, environmental and risk management needs. With over 50,000 NEBOSH qualifications taken each year, the NEBOSH training courses are applicable to all workplaces including offices, factories, hospitals and higher risk industries such as the oil and gas sectors.

The qualifications gained are recognised by the relevant professional membership bodies including the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM).

Frequently Asked Questions

How often are NEBOSH Certificate exams held?

The Nebosh General Certificate exams are held every 2 months, and the Nebosh Construction, Fire Safety and Environment Management exams are held every 3 months.

Do I need to have completed any other courses before starting a NEBOSH certificate?

It depends on the level of qualification:

  • NEBOSH Awards and Certificates (such as the General Certificate, Fire Safety Certificate, or Manual Handling Risk Assessment Award) – no prior courses or qualifications are required. They’re suitable for beginners and those new to health and safety, though some background knowledge can be helpful.
  • NEBOSH Diplomas – these are advanced, professional-level qualifications. While there are no formal entry requirements, NEBOSH recommends learners have already completed a Certificate-level course (such as the NEBOSH General Certificate) or have equivalent workplace health and safety experience.
Which NEBOSH training course is best?

There are a range of NEBOSH training courses to choose from, and it’s important to choose one that is relevant to your work, interests or career goals. Make sure the course gives you the qualification necessary for your workplace or next steps on the career ladder.

If you’re looking for a good starting point, we recommend the NEBOSH General Certificate or the NEBOSH Environmental Management Certificate. Once you have found a suitable course, you’ll then want to think about how you’d like to be taught. If you think an in-person NEBOSH class would work better for you, our classroom courses are best. Otherwise, you could consider an online course for more flexibility and the ability to learn at your own pace.
