About this Diploma Qualification
The NEBOSH International Diploma is designed for individuals who want to progress their career in health & safety and to develop the international knowledge and skills in order to become an international health & safety practitioner.
All occupational health & safety practitioners (OHASPs) need to have a common core of knowledge in order to practice effectively. This common core of knowledge must be transferable between the different occupational sectors in which OHASPs may work, ranging across all parts of industry, commerce and the public sector. The NEBOSH International Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety provides the knowledge and understanding that underpins competent performance as an OHASP. The full title of this qualification is: "NEBOSH International Diploma in Occupational Safety & Health".
There are no prerequisite entry requirements, though students will find it helpful to have completed the International General Certificate first. Students should also be aware that this is a demanding qualification - approximately equivalent to third year degree level - and therefore may find is very difficult if they do not have this background knowledge and/or the ability and application to study at this level.

In Qatar or middle east especially, the qualification is an added advantage and knowledge is power. Being an engineer in biochemical and chemical processes I enjoyed the unit B that deals with hazard process and really love the materials that describe in-depth of its analysis.

Excellent support and detailed learning information, a difficult qualification to achieve, but worth it. Humble thanks to the examinations team that arranged my exam in London UK as Paris France cost much more than travelling to the UK. (Posted on 08/04/2015)Quality Value Price
