Course description
What is the NEBOSH National Diploma?
The NEBOSH Level 6 National Diploma for Occupational Health and Safety Management Professionals is one of the most highly valued qualifications for health and safety professionals in the world, considered the gold standard among these qualifications.
It is the highest-level training NEBOSH offers and as such the degree-level course is a mark of expertise and professionalism for the 18,000 who have earned it since it launched in 1980. The qualification teaches in line with legislation and guidance set out by the UK HSE (Health and Safety Executive).
Throughout the NEBOSH National Diploma candidates will cover the practical skills that are essential to occupational health and safety professionals. We assess candidates’ ability to apply their knowledge in real-world settings and teach them how to deliver positive change in the workplace.
NEBOSH Diploma candidates can now enjoy enhanced flexibility as they can choose to study between traditional in-person classroom sessions, virtual classroom environments, or an e-Learning course.
If you're studying the Diploma via e-Learning, you can purchase the textbooks to accompany your course for £80 per unit by contacting [email protected].
