Course description
NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health & Safety - online
A National General Certificate (NGC) is specified in most health and safety job adverts, which means that people who hold the NGC have far better job prospects.
The British Safety Council is one of NEBOSH’s Gold Learning Partners. This means we “greatly exceed” six key learning excellence principles.
Our pass rates are significantly higher than the national average.
