The NEBOSH National General Certificate (NGC) is intended for managers, supervisors
and staff from all types of organisations who need a broad understanding of
health and safety issues. The NGC is also suitable as a first step on a career
in health and safety. It provides a valuable overview, and is a sound basis
for further professional study. The NEBOSH National General Certificate meets the academic requirements for
Associate membership (AIOSH) of the Institute of Occupational Safety and
Health (IOSH) and Associate membership (AIIRSM) of the International Institute
of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM). The NEBOSH National General Certificate
has been accredited and credit rated by the Scottish Qualifications Authority
(SQA). It sits in the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) at
SCQF Level 6 with 15 SCQF credit points. SCQF Level 6 is comparable to NQF/QCF
Level 3 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

which will be issued to candidates on enrolment, and the candidate must sign a
declaration that the submission is their own work.
