NEBOSH – What you need to know
Who are NEBOSH?
If you have ever looked at embarking on a health and safety career in any shape of form, you’ve probably heard of NEBOSH i.e. the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health.
The organisation offers globally recognised qualifications covering health and safety and risk management.
For the vast majority of HSE positions, you are required to have a NEBOSH or similar qualification.
Many of those in supervisory or management positions choose to complete NEBOSH qualifications to boost their health, safety or environment credentials.
Do employer’s value these qualifications?
Employer’s will sometimes specify that you need to have a certain level of IOSH (Institute of Occupational Safety & Health) membership to boot.
It’s said that 90-odd percent of health and safety jobs require NEBOSH or similar qualifications.
Just go to Indeed.com or a similar site to check this out. Type in health and safety and look at the job specification – 9 times out of 10 NEBOSH will be directly specified.
So, there is little debate that they are still the most recognised H&S qualification amongst employers.
Training with NEBOSH – why would you consider it?
As an examination board, NEBOSH provide a syllabus and exams for training providers. Courses are quite varied and can be useful for people across many different industry sectors.
The courses offer globally recognised qualifications. Such as, the NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety or NEBOSH International General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety.
These are excellent first steps towards becoming a fully qualified health and safety and/environmental professional. The qualifications are of course recognised by IOSH and IEMA. These are arguably the two most prominent HSE professional membership bodies.
