What is the NEBOSH Environmental Management Certificate?

The NEBOSH Environmental Management Certificate's new syllabus (launched 2021) is a highly valued and globally recognised qualification in environmental management. 

Developed by NEBOSH, the Environmental Management Certificate supplies content which is practical, while providing a rigorous course that equips candidates to effectively deal with environmental management daily. 

According to NEBOSH, around two-thirds of health and safety practitioners now deal with environmental management as part of their overall day-to-day responsibilities at work. As such, the knowledge gained from the NEBOSH Certificate in Environmental Management is vital for organisations wishing to avoid prosecution, litigation and loss of reputation while upskilling their workforce.
