Introduction:
Ever since it was 1st
intro at the end of the 1980's the NEBOSH National Diploma has become
established as the most popular and highly valued educations among Health and
Safety specialists.
Is
the qualification professionally recognized?
Yes it is. The course
not only provides fundamental knowledge at the core for the profession but the
award allows the student to take further qualifications and further their
career. For instance it wholly meets academic requirements to apply for either
Graduate Membership of the Institution of Occupational health and Safety or the
MIIRSM (International Institute of Risk and Safety Management). The former also
places the student on the first rung to becoming a Chartered Practitioner as a
Chartered Member of IOSH (CMIOSH). As well as being a sound progression to the
MSc level like all students who acquire a diploma they have the opportunity to
place symbols after their names to show it has been awarded. Recipients of the
NEBOSH National Diploma would use the designatory letters: Dip.NEBOSH.
Entry requirements and
framework There are no formal requirements for this qualification but it should
be kept in mind that the award is accredited at level 6 of the National qualification
framework and achievement to this level will be very beneficial and is highly
recommended. All modules and learning within the course are transferable across
all industries, commerce and the public sector and focuses especially on how
understanding of policies and processes are applied.
The
4 units within the qualification are:
- Managing health and safety
- Hazardous agents in the workplace
- Workplace and work equipment safety
- Application of health and safety theory and practice
It is important to note
that individual units can be taken over a period of 5 years as they are all
assessed separately.

Conclusion:
Assessment the first
three units are each assessed by one three-hour written examination and student
scripts are marked by external examiners appointed by NEBOSH. The fourth unit,
application of health and safety theory in the workplace is assessed by a
written assignment of approximately 8,000 words. This will assess how the
student will apply the knowledge and theory in practice.
