The NEBOSH National Diploma is the UK’s premier qualification specifically designed for health and safety professionals.
Please note that we also offer the NEBOSH International Diploma for people who intend to work outside the UK.
The course is intended for people that want to forge a career in health and safety – for example as a health and safety advisor, manager or consultant. It is also provides a basis for progressing to postgraduate study. Many UK universities offer MSc programmes that accept the NEBOSH National Diploma as a full or partial entry requirement.
The Diploma builds directly on the foundation knowledge gained in the NEBOSH National General Certificate or the NEBOSH National Construction Certificate.
The qualification meets the academic requirements for Graduate Membership (Grad IOSH) of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). With further experience and professional development, Chartered Safety Practitioner (CMIOSH) status can then be attained. The NEBOSH National Diploma is also accepted by the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM) as meeting the academic requirements for full membership (MIIRSM). Candidates wishing to obtain CMIOSH status via a practical, evidence based route should consider the NVQ Level 5 Diploma.
Holders of the National Diploma may use the designatory letters “DipNEBOSH” after their name. The qualification is accredited at Level 6 within the National Qualification Framework. Phoenix Health and Safety offer the course by distance/open learning – you can study in your own time at a pace that suits you.
The course is split into 3 separate units with taught content:
Unit D is an assignment that tests practical application of the knowledge gained in all units.
All course materials required are provided by Phoenix Health and Safety. The course is designed to be extremely flexible, and can be modified to suit any kind of learner. It is intended to bridge the gap between traditional distance learning, and e-learning. For people that don’t want to use computers or the internet so much, the course can be conducted as a traditional distance learning course by using textbooks, written assignments and telephone support. However, for people that want to embrace the internet as a learning medium, a huge variety of extra support methods are available:
The very best tutors around will be available to support you through your studies. Our tutorial team includes:
Support is provided 12 hours a day, 7 days a week – you won’t get this level of support anywhere else. Contact with tutors can be by telephone, fax, email or skype. Your support is provided until such time as you pass the course – it won’t expire after a set time period.
You will be required to complete a study planner so that your progress can be tracked towards your final exams. The course materials include regular revision questions and activities so that you can test your own progress, and these can be discussed with tutors at any time.
There are also several Tutor Marked Assignments (TMA’s), which are submitted to Phoenix Health and Safety for marking and individual feedback on performance.
The course fee includes 3 one day revision workshops – one for each of the three taught units. The aim of the days is to advise on exam technique, and your final weeks of revision prior to the exams. The revision workshops are conducted at the following venues:
Each taught Unit is assessed by a written 3 hour exam. Exams are on national NEBOSH dates as follows (all exams are held in the morning):
