Multinational employers across the EU use UK awarding bodies as a common standard across borders. NEBOSH and IOSH qualifications travel well because they are written around principles of risk management rather than one country's statute book, which makes them a practical choice for safety teams covering sites in several member states at once.
This page covers the whole of Europe. Where a qualification is tied to UK law — CDM, CITB site cards, NRSWA street works — it is designed for work carried out in the UK. Those are still worth booking if your people work on UK projects, but check local requirements first if the work stays inside the EU.

How you can train from Europe
Four ways to take a course, and what each one means in practice.
E-learning — start straight away
Self-paced, on any device, with no session to attend and no timezone to work around. Most courses are in English; where other languages are offered it is stated in the course description, so check before you buy.
Online (instructor-led) — live with a trainer
Scheduled sessions delivered in English only. Times shown are UK time (GMT in winter, BST in summer). Most of the EU runs on CET, one hour ahead of the UK, so a session advertised for 09:00 UK time starts at 10:00 for you. Portugal matches UK time; Finland, Greece and the Baltics are two hours ahead. A multi-day course means attending every session, so check the dates before booking. CITB SMSTS and SSSTS, including refreshers, run in this format and are booked by contractors working to UK standards worldwide, not only for UK sites.
Distance learning — study at home
Course materials with tutor support, worked through at your own pace. Available internationally.
NVQs — portfolio assessed
Construction and health & safety NVQs are available by distance learning and are booked internationally as well as in the UK. The Level 6 diploma is a recognised route towards chartered membership, and the construction NVQs sit alongside CITB site safety training for anyone working to UK standards. Assessment is portfolio-based against UK national occupational standards — where the candidate is based outside the UK, the provider confirms the assessment arrangements before you book.
Booking classroom courses from Europe
Classroom courses are held at venues in the UK and are not listed on this page. You can still book them from Europe for anyone in your organisation who lives or works in the UK, or who is travelling in for a project — the billing address does not need to be a UK one. Browse classroom courses to see venues and dates.
Popular subjects include Health & Safety (including NEBOSH and IOSH), Construction & Engineering, First Aid, Fire Safety and Business, Management & Legal training. You can also browse by delivery method: e-learning, live online and distance learning.
Prices are shown in your local currency, and you can pay online by card or request an invoice if your organisation prefers to be billed. Every course is delivered and certificated by the accredited provider named on the course page. Envico is an independent marketplace — check with your own employer or regulator that a qualification meets the requirement where you are.
