Designed for: Aspiring
health and safety professionals building directly upon the foundation of knowledge
provided by the NEBOSH International General Certificate. It is designed to
provide students with the expertise – wherever in the world they may be working
– required to undertake a career as a safety and health practitioner. It also
provides a sound basis for progression to an MSc or more specialist study (such
as the NEBOSH Specialist Diploma in Environmental Management).
Outline:
The NEBOSH International Diploma
is modelled on the NEBOSH
National Diploma. The key
difference between the two is that instead of
referring to UK Laws, the International Diploma
takes a risk management approach based on best
practice and international standards, such as the
International Labour Organisation
(ILO) codes of practice,
with special reference to models such as
the ILO’s “Guidelines on Occupational Safety and
Health Management Systems” (ILO-OSH 2001).
Underpinning knowledge of legal frameworks is
included and local laws and cultural factors may
form part of the study programme
where relevant and appropriate.
This qualification provides the
core health and safety
knowledge which underpins competent
performance as an Occupational Health and
Safety Practitioner. The
qualification is divided into four units, each of
which is assessed separately:
Unit
IA
: International management of
health and safety
Unit IB: International control
of hazardous agents in the workplace
Unit IC: International workplace
and work equipment safety
Unit ID: International application
of health and safety theory and practice
Students may choose to take individual
units in any order over
a five year period. There
are no entry requirements for this qualification,
though the achievement of the NEBOSH International
General Certificate or direct equivalent prior to
undertaking the Diploma course is highly recommended.
The standard of English required
by students studying for
the NEBOSH International Diploma must be such that
they can both understand and articulate the concepts
contained in the syllabus.
The qualification is divided
into four units, three assessed
by written examinations of three hours’ duration (Units IA, IB and IC) with the assignment unit designed
to test knowledge across
the syllabus, assessing application of
health and safety theory and practice (Unit ID).
Duration: 5 x 1 week study periods + 4 day optional exam tutorial + examination.
Optional exam tutorial: (Separate
fee). Focused on tutoring on specific syllabus areas using a revision
checklist. Delegate exam technique developed through practice questions and answers.
Split into separate days, for Units IA, IB and IC. This enables external
delegates and / or referrals to join either one or all of these tutorial days and
sit the NEBOSH International Diploma examination with increased insight and assuredness.
* subject to NEBOSH accreditation.
