NEBOSH International General Certificate
Course Dates
Contact us for further details
Course Overview
The NEBOSH International General Certificate will benefit organisations operating outside the UK, and multinational companies working to international standards who are seeking to implement good health and safety management across all areas of their operation.
The key difference between the National Certificate and the International General Certificate is in the reference to legal requirements. The syllabus omits specific reference to UK legal requirements and focuses on international standards, in particular ILO codes of practice. Otherwise, the syllabus is structured according to a recognised management framework in common with the National General Certificate.
Candidates are likely to be employees of large organisations operating outside the UK, or of multinational companies already working to international standards but needing to adapt these to accord with local needs and practice.

The duration of study for the International General Certificate is a minimum of 87 hours plus private study and background reading.
