NEBOSH National Diploma

The NEBOSH Diploma replaces the former Diploma Parts 1 & 2. The Diploma is designed for health and safety professionals who require a high degree of managerial and technical competence to advise on effective management of risk across the range of employment sectors.

The NEBOSH Diploma is at level 6 in the National Qualification Framework, and is accredited by QCA, CEA and DELLS. The NEBOSH Diploma is recognised by IOSH, the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health, as fulfilling the academic requirements for Chartered Membership (CMIOSH) conferring the official title of Chartered Safety and Health Practitioner. The International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM) also accept it as meeting their requirements for full membership.

Entry Qualifications
There are no mandatory pre-entry qualifications required for the Diploma but candidates are advise to obtain a level 3 qualification such as the NEBOSH General Certificate before starting a Diploma programme. All candidates should have a good standard of written English.
Course Content
The syllabus comprises four core units:.
Unit A: Managing health and safety
- Unit B: Hazardous agents in the workplace
- Unit C: Workplace and work equipment safety
- Unit D: Workplace-based assignment
Units A - C are separately assessed by written examination. In addition Unit D is a workplace based assignment requiring application of learning across the syllabus.
Written Examinations
Diploma examinations are held twice a year in January and July. Students normally choose to spread the examinations out so that they are not taking all three units in one sitting. Students starting in September generally take Unit A in January and Units B and C in July. Students may sit papers up to 6 months after they have completed the course at no extra cost. ATM Safety & Environment has an examination centre in Coventry and by special arrangement it is usually possible to sit examinations at other Diploma Centres in the UK. Overseas students can take examinations at any local British Council Office.
Workplace Based Assignment (Unit D)
The NEBOSH assignment is an audit of a health and safety management system and two risk assessments, one covering hazardous agents and the other workplace or work equipment hazards. The assignment can be submitted to NEBOSH in either March or September.
Distance Learning Materials
Students are provided with notes, coursework and some key text books. UK students are sent the course materials for the first unit and collect the other two units at the tutorials. Overseas students are sent all three units.
Distance Learning Coursework
Non-assessed coursework must be completed by all students and submitted to ATM Safety & Environment for marking by post or email by the submission dates. It is anticipated that students will need to spend about 2 hours a week on this coursework.
Tutorials
UK students must attend six one-day tutorials. These are currently held at Bermuda Park Innovation Centre, Nuneaton. There are generally three tutorial groups, one starting in January, one starting in April and one starting in September.
