How long does the NEBOSH National General Certificate last?

  • There's no expiration date on your NEBOSH National General Certificate. Once you've passed it, that's it! Saying that, if you want to progress onto other qualifications, like the NEBOSH Diploma or specialist NEBOSH Certificates, you'll need to do so within 5 years of passing your certificate

What level is a NEBOSH General Certificate?

  • The NEBOSH General Certificate is an ideal starting point for people looking to begin a career in health and safety management or to formalise previous training. It is a Level 3 qualification, equivalent to A Level.

Who can take the NEBOSH National General Certificate and does it expire?

  • Taking on a new course can be a daunting prospect and one that takes a lot of thinking about. The amount of time and money invested in getting the best result possible is significant so it is crucial you understand what to expect. As a result of this there are a number of commonly asked questions which we have aimed to answer as best as possible on this page and below:

Who is the NEBOSH National General Certificate for?

  • The NEBOSH General Certificate is aimed at people who are just starting their role or career in health and safety. There are two versions - national and international.

Can anyone take the certificate?

  • As the NEBOSH National General Certificate is a foundation level qualification there is no prior knowledge required in order to take it. So, yes anyone is able to take this course!

Does a NEBOSH certificate expire?

  • Once you have completed the 2 units there is no need to retake any of them again. However you will need to complete both units within 5 years to pass successfully.

Are there courses similar to the NEBOSH National General Certificate?

There are three main players when it comes to foundation level health and safety qualifications including:

  • NEBOSH National General Certificate
  • NVQ Level 3 Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety
  • NCFE IOSH Level 3 Certificate in Safety and Health for Business

While these courses qualify someone to the same level, they differ greatly when it comes to learning method:

  • NEBOSH National General Certificate: The certificate provides an understanding of HSE regulations, hazards and risk assessments, acting as a foundation for a career in health and safety.
  • NVQ Level 3 Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety: This qualification is a worked-related competency based qualification and concentrates more on assessing current skills instead of teaching new knowledge. This course is aimed more towards those who are already in a health and safety role.
  • NCFE IOSH Level 3 Certificate in Safety and Health for Business: This course focuses on providing a business and technical focus towards health and safety, allowing for a more strategic approach. Again, this course is aimed towards those already in a health and safety role and is a portfolio based qualification.

What's the difference between the International and National NEBOSH General Certificates?

  • The NEBOSH National General Certificate and NEBOSH International General Certificate are both versions of the General Certificate. The National General Certificate course is available in the UK only and the International General Certificate is available to all countries outside of the UK.
  • They’re the same level, have the same units, elements and learning outcomes and they both follow the same exam structure and grading system.
  • The course content isn’t that much different either. They both teach you how to manage health and safety based on the “Plan-Do-Check-Act” management system. But they reference different legislation and regulation in the finer details.

Should I go straight for the NEBOSH National Diploma, or start with the National General Certificate?

  • The NEBOSH NGC course is an ideal place to start as it gives a broad grounding in the field of health and safety. The NEBOSH National Diploma course will build on knowledge gained at this level. Whilst it is not necessary to have a pre-qualification to take the NEBOSH National Diploma, we would highly recommend it.

Is the NEBOSH General Certificate hard?

  • As with any qualification, the biggest challenge you'll face will be time. The NEBOSH General Certificate requires a total of 80-120 hours of study and it's equivalent to studying an A Level qualification. This may seem like hard work now, but it'll all be worth it when you receive that certificate through the post.
