NEBOSH National Diploma for Occupational Health and Safety Management Professionals

The NEBOSH National Diploma (E-learning) is NEBOSH’s flagship course and is specifically designed for health and safety professionals

This qualification deliberately looks at general workplace issues so that is can be applied in the many different sectors in which health and safety professionals may work. 

On completion of the qualification, you will be able to:

• understand how health and safety legislation is applied in a workplace and the possible enforcement actions that could be taken
• identify and effectively communicate relevant health and safety information
• advise on a range of common workplace health and safety issues including how these can be assessed, controlled and monitored
• develop a health and safety policy strategy (including proactive safety, Corporate Social Responsibility and the change management process)
• contribute to a risk management strategy
• promote a positive health and safety culture
• develop and audit health and safety management systems
• maintain individual and organisational health and safety competence
• manage contractors and supply chains to ensure compliance with health and safety standards.

There are no mandatory qualification entry requirements but it is strongly recommended learners have undertaken the NEBOSH General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety. The syllabus assumes that learners will have this level of prior learning.

It is important that learners have a suitable standard of English language in order to understand and articulate the concepts contained in the syllabus. NEBOSH recommends that learners undertaking this qualification should reach a minimum standard of English equivalent to an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of 7.0 or higher in IELTS tests.
