Who is it for? The NEBOSH Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety is designed for professional health and safety advisors and environmental practitioners aiming to complete a post-graduate level qualification. Whilst it is not essential to have already completed a health and safety qualification, the NEBOSH General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety is the preferred foundation for this course.

What will you get out of it?
A NEBOSH Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety certificate is awarded to all who successfully complete the course and all assessments, along with an invitation to attend the annual NEBOSH Graduation and Awards Ceremony in the year following the successful completion of the award. Holders of the award may also use the letters “DipNEBOSH” after your name.

The National Diploma provides a sound basis for progression to MSc level, as well as enabling you to apply for graduate membership of IOSH (Grad IOSH) and membership of the International Institute of Risk management (IIRSM) using MIIRSM after your name.
