The NEBOSH International Diploma is moving to Ofqual regulation, and as a result is now known as the NEBOSH Level 6 International Diploma for Occupational Health and Safety Management Professionals.
The course syllabus and learning outcomes remain the same as the previous specification.
The main driver in this change was to restore all International learners the ability to use their qualification to achieve IOSH membership.
Although there is no change in syllabus, NEBOSH have made some amendments to the assessment process, such as the length of each assessment and the number of marks available. For a full breakdown of these changes you can read our blog here:

You need to have a foundation understanding of health and safety principals before taking the NEBOSH Level 6 International Diploma. It is strongly recommended that you take the NEBOSH International General Certificate or have at least 5 years experience working in a health and safety role to increase your chance of passing.

You could also try to understand what their average pass rates are - this reflects on the quality of training and learning support. Reviewing what learning material you will have access to and whether or not the provider offers a learning method that's right for you is also really important.
