Course Content
The NEBOSH National General Certificate covers the main legal requirements for health and safety in the UK, identification and control of workplace hazards, and the practical application of this knowledge.

Assessment & Award
The course is assessed by two unit written exams which are held at the end of the course, in addition each delegate is required to submit a hand written practical assessment which is introduced and issued during the course. Failure to submit the practical assessment within agreed timeframes will result in a course fail result.
Successful delegates are awarded the NEBOSH General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety. Certificates are issued by the examining body NEBOSH approximately 16 weeks after the last day of the course, however students are informed of their results approximately 11 weeks after the exam dates.

Duration
We will be offering our NEBOSH General Certificate course as two separate one week blocks of instruction along with a full mock exam and two revision days and then the actual exam making our model a 14-Day process. This may be slightly longer than other training providers, but has been developed to be able to maximize your chances of a first time pass.
The dates for forthcoming courses are listed either on our Future Courses page or our main NEBOSH General page.

News
Lighthouse will be running the popular NEBOSH General Certificate course early in the New Year heading towards the next National Exam date of the 9th March 2012.
Our head tutor is a NEBOSH Examiner and has many years experience of tutoring and mentoring candidates through this process.
Our course model has been adapted to maximise the chances of anyone that is wishing to take this qualification. We run tuition over two separate weeks which is followed by a full mock exam process, and two further revision days, which aims to focus on weak areas that are highlighted in the mock exams. We strongly believe that this fully prepares any candidate for the exam which them follows a week later.
Our course material is printed in full colour under licence from RRC, it follows the teaching material, and has self assessment questions throughout.
We are expecting high booking numbers for this course, so again please act quickly as we aim to limit course numbers to 12.
A Polite Notice
It pays to be selective when booking training courses because not all training providers are what they appear to be. When booking a NEBOSH General Course you need to feel assured that your training provider is fully accredited to provide that training and is not then going to sub-contract the work. Lighthouse Safety Training are fully accredited by NEBOSH to provide the NEBOSH General course and proof of that accreditation can be seen at our accreditation page.
