First of all, what is the NEBOSH International General Certificate?
The NEBOSH International General Certificate (IGC), is a qualification that enables our students to identify, evaluate and control a wide range of workplace hazards. The qualification encourages a pragmatic approach to managing risk and the content can be applied in workspaces anywhere in the world. It is widely used throughout the world by people who seek recognition for their health and safety skills and knowledge and enhances job opportunities with NEBOSH certified training.
The NEBOSH International General Certificate allows fresh learners to take a leap into the realm of health and safety and how to approach work-based scenarios. This has been shown to help our students who are less workplace experienced by providing insight into what can happen and what would happen if people weren’t aware of Health and Safety practices. This has given our students the competitive edge for the ever-growing health and safety focused job market in the modern world.
