The NEBOSH National Construction Certificate is aimed at Supervisors, Managers
and CDM co-ordinators within the construction industry who are required to
ensure that activities under their control are undertaken safely. It is likely
to prove useful for those concerned with the management of buildings who may
need to ensure that contractors are working safely. The qualification meets
the academic requirements for Technician Membership (Tech IOSH) of Institution
of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and Associate membership (AIIRSM) of
the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM).

| Practical Assessment (NCC2) |
|
The practical must be carried out within 14 days either side of the written
examination on a site carrying out a construction activity.
ATM Safety & Environment can arrange
for a practical to be taken in the Coventry area on the Thursday afternoon after the written exam.
Candidates who are unable to attend this practical can take the practical
elsewhere provided they arrange for a responsible senior
manager to supervise the practical. The supervisor must ensure that the workplace
inspection is conducted under examination conditions and the report sent to
ATM Safety & Environment for
marking as soon as it is completed. Candidates must not refer to reference
materials such as course notes and textbooks when completing the practical. |
|
| Course Fee |
| The course fee
is £400 + VAT (£470) for candidates taking all three units of the
qualification. For candidates who already have Unit NGC1 of the NEBOSH National
Certificate or the National Diploma the course fee is reduced to £350 + VAT (£411.25). The course fee
includes support for a period of 12 months, so candidates have the choice of
four exam sittings. The fees quoted do not include the NEBOSH Exam
Registration fee of £90 (£115 for sittings outside the UK) or British Council fees should the exam be taken overseas.
We will support candidates should they have to re-sit the exam, subject to an administration fee.
|
|
| NEBOSH Fees |
| For UK examination sittings, NEBOSH enrolment and examination registration fees should be paid
directly to NEBOSH. Forms will be provided as necessary. The fees quoted on
this webpage are valid to August 2010. |
|
| In-company or group courses |
| Group courses by distance learning with tutorial support can be arranged on request for the
National Certificate, the International Certificate or the National Construction
Certificate. Candidates are expected
to study the material and complete the coursework provided prior to attendance
at the tutorials, which are designed primarily to provide a revision programme
and instruction in examination technique. Tutorial programmes can be tailored
to local requirements. A local examination sitting (minimum number 8) can be arranged
at anytime of the year for these courses.
