Study for the NEBOSH National General Certificate at your own pace, online and around work or shifts. Start on any day, with tutor support, and take NEBOSH's assessments when you're ready.
This is the NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety, studied by self-study distance learning. It's the same qualification and the same NEBOSH assessments as our tutor-led course; the difference is that you set the pace.
Distance learning suits people who can't take a block of days away from work: shift workers, supervisors with site or production commitments, and anyone who'd rather study in the evenings or at weekends. You can study from anywhere in Sheffield, South Yorkshire or beyond.
The course covers how health and safety is managed (NG1) and the hazards found in most workplaces (NG2), from risk assessment and management systems to stress, manual handling, chemicals, work equipment, fire and electricity.
