The NEBOSH National Diploma is the flagship of NEBOSH qualification and, when launched in 1988, was the first UK vocational qualification to be developed specifically for health and safety professionals. The National Diploma is recognised and reliable and over 13200 learners have achieved the qualification since its introduction.
The NEBOSH National Diploma is the qualification for aspiring health and safety professionals, building directly upon the foundations of knowledge provided by the NEBOSH National General Certificate. It is designed to provide learned with the knowledge and understanding required for undertaking a career as a health and safety professional, and it also provides a sound basis for progression to postgraduate study.
The new qualification is subdivided into three taught and assessed units, with new style course assessments
- Unit ND1: Know – workplace health and safety principles (UK)
- Unit ND2: Do – controlling workplace health issues (UK)
- Unit ND3: Do – controlling workplace safety issues (UK)
The qualification deliberately looks at general workplace issues so that it can be applied in many sectors in.
