Diploma Overview
NEBOSH National Diploma
There are no educational prerequisite requirements to enrol on to the NEBOSH National Diploma qualification, however as the qualification is taught and examined in English a good understanding of the English language is highly recommended. Our feedback shows that not only do Students find it helpful to have already achieved certification of the NEBOSH National General Certificate prior to undertaking a NEBOSH Diploma, It also greatly enhances the students’ potential end result.
The NEBOSH National Diploma is a level 6 qualification on the UK qualification framework and level 10 on the Scottish qualification framework this equal to an Honors Degree level qualification in health and safety practice and as such is a demanding qualification.
