NEBOSH National General Certificate - block route

NEBOSHManagers, supervisors and safety professionals increasingly play a complex and crucial role in ensuring the health and safety of employees and a well-grounded, comprehensive knowledge of the key issues is essential in order to meet these high demands. Covering 16 units, the NEBOSH National General Certificate provides the confidence that comes from operating from an informed point of view and remains arguably the best-regarded foundation in health and safety.

For those wishing to complete this qualification through the traditional block release route, RoSPA provides an excellent ten day training programme at training centres in Birmingham and Edinburgh enabling delegates to immerse themselves fully in the learning environment.

Delegates will leave the course with a broad understanding of relevant legislation, safety performance monitoring, investigation of accidents, the design and implementation of safe systems of work and accident prevention programmes, and the management of safety within the workplace. As with all RoSPA courses, the emphasis throughout is on the practical implementation of knowledge, as well as the skills to pass.
