The National General Certificate involves a minimum of 68 taught hours and approximately 40 hours of private study and background reading.
This course takes place over a 10-day period, plus assessments.
Programme
There are now only two units (NG1 & NG2) and the content has been restructured and updated to reflect modern Health & Safety practices in 2020. The net result is a small reduction in the overall study hours.

Element 3: Managing risk – understanding people and processes
Element 4: Health and safety monitoring and measuring

Element 5: Physical and psychological health
Element 6: Musculoskeletal health
Element 7: Chemical and biological agents
Element 8: General workplace issues
Element 9: Work equipment
Element 10: Fire
Element 11: Electricity
Assessments
There are two assessments that must be undertaken and delegates have 5 years to successfully obtain both of the required modules:
- Unit NG1 includes an open book exam*, which you do from home.
- Unit NG2 is a practical risk assessment, carried out at your workplace and is longer than the previous GC3 assessment.
*Each delegate MUST attend a short closing interview after the open book examination. The purpose is to confirm that the work submitted is their own and that they did not have any assistance in completing the NEBOSH assessment.
Both assessments are marked by external examiners appointed by NEBOSH. These examiners are chosen for their experience and expertise to ensure that learners are assessed by the very best from our industry.
