Course Objectives
On our latest NEBOSH NGC Programme our Candidates achieved a
100% pass rate!
The NEBOSH National General Certificate covers the main legal requirements for health and safety in the UK, identification and control of workplace hazards, and the practical application of this knowledge. The syllabus is mapped to the National Occupational Standards for Health and Safety owned by Proskills. No previous health and safety knowledge is required but candidates should note the assessment includes a requirement to write a short report.
The NEBOSH National General Certificate is a 10 day Study Programme with three exams including two written examination papers; NGC1 & GC2 followed by One Practical Exercise (GC3) which must be conducted in your own workplace. The course is an introductory qualification designed to help non-specialists to discharge more effectively their organisational duties or functions with respect to workplace health and safety.
Other considerations
Our NEBOSH NGC Training Package is designed not only to help guide our delegates to a first time pass, but to ensure they enjoy their experience with the Tutor and fellow delegates. Many of our successful NEBOSH delegates in recent years have made lasting friendships in the classroom which helped bolster their learning experience and gain a valuable network of peers.
