NEBOSH Certificate in Environmental Management
The NEBOSH Certificate in Environmental Management (EC) syllabus is designed for managers, supervisors and employees, who have responsibility for managing environment issues as part of their day to day duties. It also provides a sound basis for progression on to the NEBOSH National Diploma in Environmental Management. The course will benefit companies seeking to implement effective environmental management systems, and is relevant to all industry sectors. The Certificate in Environmental Management has been accepted by CIWEM (The Chartered Institution of Water & Environmental Management) to meet the requirements for Technician Membership (TechCIWEM).

Environmental Certificate syllabus is suitable for both UK and international candidates. The syllabus covers the practical issues of managing environmental risk and takes a risk management approach based on the best practice and international industry standards, including:

  • Environmental management systems and impact assessments.
  • Sources and use of energy and energy efficiency.
  • Control of emissions to air, land and water.
  • Control of environmental noise.
  • Planning for and dealing with environmental emergencies.
Entry Qualifications
No formal qualifications are required but candidates must have a reasonable standard of written English.
Course Content
The syllabus comprises two units that are separately assessed:
  • Unit EC1 Management and Control of Environmental Hazards
  • Unit EC2 Environmental Practical Application
Distance Learning Programme
ATM Safety & Environment runs a distance learning programme. Course materials consist of printed study notes and coursework which students are encouraged to complete and submit to ATM Safety & Environment for marking by post or email. The coursework does not count towards the award.
Practical Assessment
The aim of the practical assessment is for candidates to demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge of all the areas in the EC1 syllabus by successfully completing an environmental review of a workplace using a review proforma provided by NEBOSH. Candidates are allowed to select their own setting for the practical application.
Examinations
There is one 2 hour paper for the EC1. Dates are given in the table below. Candidates are required to complete Unit EC2 within 14 days of sitting the EC1 examination.

Candidates would be 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 can be arranged at anytime of the year for these courses.
