We do not plan to hold any NEBOSH courses during 2020 but may return to provision in the future.


National General Certificate (NGC) is a globally recognised health and safety qualification. The course covers the main legal requirements for safety in the UK, a range of workplace hazards, and methods of control.

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

Learning Outcomes:

The qualification is divided into three units, each of which is assessed separately:

•    Health and safety practical application (GC3)

NGC1 & GC2 are each assessed with a two 2-hour written paper. The practical assessment (GC3) consists of carrying out a risk assessment of a workplace and preparing a short report.

Our course consists of 10 days of classroom tuition (over 2 separate weeks) plus 2 days of classroom revision leading up to the examination day. The examinations are also held at our centre.

The Certificate syllabus is based on the Employment National Training Organisation (ENTO) standards. These are reviewed regularly to keep up to date with developments in the workplace and in legislation.
