The NEBOSH International Certificate in Construction Health and Safety is
aimed at Supervisors, Managers and Health and Safety Co-ordinators within the
construction industry who are required to ensure that activities under their
control are undertaken safely. It is also 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 (ICC2) |
|
The practical assessment must be carried out on a site carrying out a construction activity. This site should
normally be the candidates own workplace but where this is not possible the
candidate can arrange to observe construction activity on another site. Candidates
do not require supervision when carrying out the practical application but the
candidate must sign a declaration that the submission is their own work. The
finished report is marked by ATM Safety & Environment
and moderated by NEBOSH. |
|
| Course Fee |
| The course fee
is £400 for candidates taking all three units of the
qualification. For candidates who already have Unit IGC1 of the NEBOSH
International
Certificate or Unit IA of the International Diploma, the course fee is reduced to £300. The course fee
includes support for a period of 12 months, so candidates have the choice of
two exam sittings. The fees quoted do not include the NEBOSH Exam
