With in-depth focus on the things that matter, the NEBOSH General Certificate covers:
• How to effectively manage health and safety
• How to identify and control common workplace hazards

Risk assessment is central to the qualification. Through study and workplace application, successful learners will be able to: • Confidently carry out risk assessments
• Develop and implement a detailed action plan

• I/NG2 - A practical risk assessment to assess what you can do (3 hours). Learners will complete a risk assessment and develop an action plan for their workplace – this is immediately useful and valuable.
Assessments are marked by external examiners appointed by NEBOSH. These examiners are chosen for their experience and expertise to ensure that learners are assessed by the very best from our industry.
