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

the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) in England, the Department
