NEBOSH announces raft of new qualifications to kick off 2021

January 2021

Leading the way will be a new, one-day wellbeing qualification in February. Titled NEBOSH Working with Wellbeing, this introductory course has been holistically developed to help employers support a person’s overall wellbeing.

Updated fire and construction certificates will follow. These popular qualifications have been refreshed to maintain their industry relevance and introduce greater practical application in the assessment.

NEBOSH’s flagship qualifications, the national and international Diplomas, will also be updated. Designed for senior professionals, the NEBOSH Diploma is an industry benchmark, and its update will maintain its industry relevance whilst supporting learners to develop the highest levels of competence. Testing will take place in the first quarter before its official launch later this year.

A long-standing relationship with Great Britain’s regulator, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), will also continue in 2021 with an exciting new qualification to benefit any business, in any industry. The NEBOSH HSE Award in Managing Risks and Risk Assessment at Work is currently in development. This one-day qualification looks at practical steps to manage and control risks caused by workplace hazards.

NEBOSH Chief Executive, Chris Payne, said: “Amongst the external challenges of the pandemic in 2021, it promises to be an exciting year for NEBOSH. We hope that our proactive response and expertise will continue to help learner develop their skills and create safer workplaces across the world. Our qualifications are reputed for their rigour and relevance; by continually enhancing our portfolio we’ll ensure that health and safety professionals have a wide range of development opportunities for all stages of their career.

“What’s more, we’re committed to enhancing learners’ practical application, which will enable people who gain a NEBOSH qualification to be well equipped to manage real-life responsibilities, adding tangible value for their employers and the people and communities in their care.”

NEBOSH will announce full details for each new qualification via its website at the time of launch. www.nebosh.org.uk

  • "The tutor was excellent, and the course was designed so that the information was easy to digest and understand through real-life scenarios. The problem-based learning approach and active participation in classroom discussions and homework exercises helped me pass the exam on my first attempt."

    01.04.2025
  • "The two weeks of comprehensive in-class training, coupled with the gaps between the exams, provided ample time for preparation and reflection on what I learned in the classroom. NG2 was very interesting, and the classroom exercises helped me grasp the theme of assessment, specifically how (RMs) were assessed."

    01.04.2025
  • "The online learning portal was easy and straight forward to use, it was well laid out and had fantastic online resource sections which were great for printing out to have to hand - especially handy for highlighting important points. I had purchased the NEBOSH Managing Health and Safety book to help with my study, but in all honesty, the information in the portal covered all the relevant material anyway. I only needed to phone for assistance on a couple of occasions, but found the guidance helpful and quick."

    Chris

  • "Having a secondary role at work as a Health and Safety coordinator means passing the NEBOSH General Certificate is a great indication of the knowledge and understanding I have achieved so far. This is a staple qualification in this field and I now have the confidence to venture into Health and Safety in a more primary role and as a progression of career."
