NEBOSH Qualifications

Cambridge Safety is a NEBOSH Gold Learning partner, offering a wide range of NEBOSH courses to help you get your health and safety qualifications. These certificates are the most highly recognised qualifications in the health and safety field. Not only are NEBOSH courses recognised in the UK, but internationally as well.

We offer both NEBOSH general certificates and diplomas, so that no matter your experience, we have a course for you.

What is NEBOSH training?

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).

Why Choose Cambridge Safety?

As one of the leading health and safety training providers in East Anglia, we have a proven track record in all our NEBOSH courses with pass rates well above the national average. Something that we are really proud of!

We can deliver our NEBOSH courses online or at our Peterborough-based classroom. Offering both distant learning and in-house training to suit your preferences, this allows our delegates to fit their studying around work and personal commitments.

Our expert tutors are all former delegates of Cambridge Safety and are committed to helping you develop your skills to ensure that you can pass your NEBOSH course first time. They will work closely with you to ensure you are supported throughout your NEBOSH training and understand all the elements required for your workplace.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to complete another course before starting a NEBOSH qualification?

It depends on the level of qualification whether you need to complete another course in advance:

  • 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.
How often are NEBOSH Certificate exams held?

Most NEBOSH certificate-level exams are held regularly throughout the year. The general certificate is typically examined every 2 months, while other certificates, such as Construction, Fire Safety, and Environmental Management, are usually scheduled every 3 months. If you’re unsure of the next available dates, speak to our team and they can advise.

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

If you’re considering the NEBOSH Diploma, the entry expectations are higher: while there are no strict prerequisites, it is strongly recommended that learners first complete a NEBOSH Certificate (or have an equivalent foundation in health and safety).

How long does it take to complete a NEBOSH course?

It depends on the qualification. Some courses, like the NEBOSH HSE one-day Certificates (e.g. Manual Handling or Leadership Excellence), can be completed in just a day. The longer Certificates (such as the General or Fire Safety Certificate) usually take a few weeks to a few months, while the diploma is a more advanced qualification that typically takes over a year to finish.

What support is available during my NEBOSH training?

Support is built into every one of our NEBOSH courses, our instructors will work closely with you to ensure you have a positive experience and feel confident for your exam. All of our instructors are former Cambridge Safety students and will be able to give in-depth feedback and answer any questions you may have.

All handouts and course materials are provided, so no additional books or publications need to be purchased. Although for those doing NEBOSH diploma courses, it is expected that you also carry out your own research outside of the course material.
