About this Qualfication
The NEBOSH International General Certificate is designed for managers, supervisors, worker representatives and others who require an understanding of health and safety principles and practices. Candidates are likely to be employees of large organisations operating outside the UK, or of multinational companies already working to international standards but who need to adapt these to accord with local needs and practice. The full title of the qualification is: "NEBOSH International General Certificate in Occupational Safety & Health".
The syllabus omits specific reference to any national legal requirements but, instead, focuses on international standards, in particular ILO codes of practice. In common with the national award, however, the syllabus is structured according to a recognised management framework.

I have just sat the exams at the British Council in Seoul, South Korea, after several months and long hours of reading and studying.Quality Value Price
I was very happy with the standard of the exams and the level of the questions. They were able to cover a wide variety of the course material. The two hours allocated for both the morning and afternoon exams certainly flew by.
I found the course material to be very well written and having the self test sections within each module is very useful especially to confirm your level of understanding as you go through the material.
I have recommended the course to a number of my friends and colleagues.
I look forward to receiving my results in May. I hope I passed?
Thank you to SHEilds for providing a well structured and informative course. (Posted on 04/03/2016) - You've been a great inspiration throughout the study periodReview by Gideon
