About the Qualification

All occupational health and safety practitioners (OHASPs) need to have a common core of knowledge in order to practice effectively. This common core of knowledge must be transferable between the different occupational sectors in which OHASPs may work, ranging across all parts of industry, commerce and the public sector. The NEBOSH National Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety provides the knowledge and understanding that underpins competent performance as an OHASP. The National Diploma is at level 6 in the National Qualification framework, and is accredited by GCA, CEA and ACCAC.

The NEBOSH National Diploma is a professional qualification that satisfies the academic requirements for corporate membership of the recognised professional body in the field, the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). Further, its syllabus offers those seeking to demonstrate competence in the subject (for instance, by means of a National or Scottish Vocational Qualification) the opportunity to cover the domain knowledge required through an appropriately structured programme of learning. NEBOSH is also committed to the continued development of specialist awards and to working closely with the university sector in gaining acceptance of the NEBOSH awards as prior learning for parts of MSc programmes.

Holders of the NEBOSH National Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety may use the designatory letters “DipNEBOSH” after their name.

Examination and Assignment Details

NEBOSH sets and marks a summative external written examination paper of three hours’ duration for each of the three core units. Examinations will be held each year in the third full week of January and in the second full week of July. The formative assessment component comprises workplace-based assignments externally set by NEBOSH and assessed by appropriately qualified tutors at NEBOSH-accredited centres, with final external moderation by NEBOSH. Only students who have enrolled with NEBOSH through an accredited centre are eligible to register for the examination.

To help maintain flexibility, SHEilds allow students to sit the examination at a SHEilds registered test centre or at a local British Council where available however an additional sitting fee may be applicable.
