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
Technician membership (TechIOSH) 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.

Students are posted a pack of course materials that includes
coursenotes, a text book and coursework that students are encouraged to
complete and return to ATM Safety & Environment for marking by post or
email. The coursework does not count towards the award. Examinations are held
four times a year and can be taken in Coventry, or at other venues in the UK
or overseas by special arrangement. For all candidates (both in the UK and
overseas) the practical assessment must be taken in the candidates own
workplace, or other suitable premises. The practical
does not have to be supervised but the inspection must be unaided and carried
out in accordance with NEBOSH guidelines.

| Assessment |

Units NGC1 and NGC2 are assessed by closed book examinations, both papers are
held on the same day, NGC1 in the morning and NGC2 in the afternoon. NGC3 is

and moderated by NEBOSH. This NGC3 report must be submitted to ATM Safety & Environment within
10 days of the NGC2 & 3
examinations, and must be carried out in the candidates
own workplace. The examinations dates for 2011/12 are shown in the table. |

| Course Fee |
| The course fee is £400 + VAT (£480) payable on enrolment,
excluding NEBOSH exam registration fees, which for 2011/12 are £40 per unit
for Units NGC1 and 2 and £20 for NGC3 (£125 for sittings outside the UK). Exam fees are
normally paid directly to NEBOSH. The
course fee includes support for a period of 12 months, so candidates have the
choice of four exam sittings. We will also support candidates should they have
to re-sit any exam, subject to an administration fee.

directly to NEBOSH. Forms will be provided as necessary. The examination fees quoted on
this webpage are valid to June 2012 sitting and may be subject to change by
NEBOSH after that date. |
|
| In-company or group courses |

Certificate qualifications. Candidates are expected

and instruction in examination technique. Tutorial programmes can be tailored
to local requirements. A local examination sitting can be arranged
at anytime of the year for these courses.
