Please get in touch to join a course remotely.
Our lead tutor is a NEBOSH Examiner of some years experience, he knows how this course should be taught.

Be under no misunderstanding, this is an intense learning program, a program that requires your ultimate commitment to learning both in and out of the classroom. You will be asked to sign a learning agreement on day one of the course, which commits you to full participation towards your learning.

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. The syllabus is mapped to the National Occupational Standards for Health and Safety owned by ENTO. No previous health and safety knowledge is required but delegates should note the assessment includes a requirement to write a short report.
The qualification is divided into two units, each of which is assessed separately:
Unit NG1 Management of Health & Safety
Unit NG2 Controlling Workplace Hazards
Managers, supervisors and staff from all types of organisations who need a broad understanding of health and safety issues. The certificate helps them manage risks effectively. Many people take the NEBOSH National General Certificate as a first step in a career in health and safety. It provides a valuable overview, and is a sound basis for further professional study.
The course is assessed by an online exam which is held at the end of the course, in addition each delegate is required to submit a practical risk assessment which is introduced and issued during the course.
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.
The NEBOSH National General Certificate meets the academic requirements for Technician membership (TechIOSH) of the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and Associate membership (AIIRSM) of the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM).
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 Open Book Exam (OBE) which candidates have 24 hours to complete, making our model a 12 day process. This may be slightly longer than other training providers, but has been developed to be able to maximise your chances of a first time pass.
Typical fees for open courses are £1175 plus VAT per person at our training rooms in Rainham.
Included in the training cost:
Prices can vary for in-house courses.
We run open courses regularly in our Training Centre in Rainham, Kent or we are happy to travel to your location if suitable facilities are available.
In addition we host live tutor led training online
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 on our accreditation page.

I would just like to take this opportunity to pass on my thanks and appreciation to Lou.
She was a very good teacher, gave us all the information that we needed and was supportive throughout the two weeks, she was also very understanding with everything, so please do pass on my thanks and appreciation to her.

The stories throughout made the topics more relatable.
I have already recommended you, and they have recently sat the same course!
Lighthouse is a fantastic bunch of people and an absolute pleasure to have met them.

Rick made a subject that can be considered as tedious, boring and dull into a fun enjoyable subject to learn and I can take a lot from the discussions we had as a class.
Ricks style of training was fun and enjoyable and recommendable.
Well paced lessons, pitched at the level that meant all can understand.
Very good student interaction, kept attention at all times.

Lou delivered both weeks of the course 6 out of 5 (excellent)
Under the circumstances of carrying this out via Zoom the presentation and interaction was excellent. The materials provided through the course book and QR codes provided plenty of information

Harry’s leadership of the course is excellent. Harry uses his personality to make people feel at ease and help to cement learnings.
In all sincerity the quality of the training has been excellent. Harry has a great deal of passion and knowledge for the subject. He has made sure what can generally be a boring subject for some, engaging and interesting.
Well taught and enjoyable to do the course. I am confident to do this in the workplace. Exam may be a different matter but we will wait and see. Revision is now clearly key.
Rick’s depth of knowledge and course delivery was exceptional
Level of instruction was very good, Rick showed a vast amount of knowledge and experience and endeavoured to make it relevant to our industry and showed examples of a wider environment. The pace was perfect and support was always available in class and at a personal level. Thoroughly enjoyed the course.
Very intense course but I was forewarned so knew what to expect!! Good pace, well presented

Thanks to all at lighthouse for the continual support you gave me and my fellow delegates during our NEBOSH course, today is a very very happy day. Harry Collins, you are the man, thank you.
Felt at ease throughout the course, the whole week was completed in a relaxed atmosphere.
I just wanted to say a big thanks for the training you have given during the NEBOSH general, I have learnt more than I ever thought I was going to, your interactive and energetic teaching style has made a course that if I’m honest I wasn’t too keen on doing, into an enjoyable experience. All the additional training aids you have created were a massive help and show you have a real passion for what you do. I have already been singing lighthouse’s praises to my company and I can only hope that it leads to you guys being used regularly by Innogy.
In all honesty, pass or fail you have helped me be better at keeping my guys safe. That, in my mind makes the course a massive success for me, irrelevant of result.
Lighthouse safety Training is a very professional, very focused and knowledgeable training provider. Our tutor, Harry Collins, gave 110% effort into making the course as enjoyable as possible and giving us the best possible chance to achieve the course. He sent us Podcasts, set us homework every night, sent us slides from the previous day to study all in his free time. I can’t praise him and his organisation enough.
Different learning methods were good i.e. discussion, practise questions, and media coverage. Revision days really helpful.
A very good and detailed course with excellent practical explanation of subjects covered. Will recommend this course and Lighthouse to the Environment Agency
Good course. Well presented – very knowledgeable and passionate on subject. Intense. Challenging. Really enjoyable.
Lighthouse NGC1 course is well run with sufficient breaks. Tutor is lively, engaging and well informed on the particular subjects within safety in the workplace. The course content is appropriate and applicable for my line of work in tunnelling. I will recommend this course to my colleagues as I believe it is delivered professionally and well worth it.
The course has been run extremely professionally. Harry is an excellent tutor who is clearly passionate about his job and teaching H&S in a way that is serious but enjoyable. Excellent hand outs and provision of refreshments.

Thank you to you and all the staff at Lighthouse. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and the hospitality of the company.
Harry is thoroughly knowledgeable and gives realistic and common sense examples for the rules and regulations. I think Harry is an excellent trainer who conveys information in a way thats conducive to learning. I would have no hesitation in both recommending him and the company to others.
Harry made the course extremely enjoyable through his vast knowledge and anecdotes to help learning. The use of video brought the course alive and was used to highlight specific subjects.
The course covers way more than I ever anticipated. Harry is a brilliant tutor. Stayed on each topic just the right amount of time, is informative, has an exceptionally high level of understanding of the subject. Keeps the days light-hearted and full of banter. Chuffed I picked Lighthouse.
Harry is a brilliant trainer who challenges student and takes them out of their comfort zone in a positive way. He thoroughly knows his subject and this shines through. He also has a lot of passion for his subject and this also shines through.

Really enjoyed the course. I underestimated the amount of detail involved , but there has been very good support available from Harry.
Harry clearly demonstrated knowledge of the subject which instilled confidence in the value of the course. A lot to learn but very relevant and worthwhile. Excellent group to work with too, very respectful of each other.
Harry thoroughly understands the course content and made the week enjoyable for me.
Having met many H&S Professionals, this course was excellent. Knowledge, experience and teaching techniques were very impressive.
A very informative course. A huge amount of information to process. I feel we are being taught to be professionals within the field rather than just learning answers to a test. I know this is Harry’s aim and I am personally very pleased with this. I would recommend Lighthouse to others due to this energy and enthusiasm towards health and safety.
Very intense course as expected but the tutor’s training style relaxed the course and made it enjoyable. Will recommend Lighthouse Safety Training to be used by Dairycrest, by my department and by others.
I would just like to say a big thank you to all at Lighthouse Safety Training for the helping me achieve an excellent merit on the recent NEBOSH general health and safety certificate. In fact i was only 3 marks away from a distinction so if you could let Ron know what an excellent job he did i would really appreciate that. His tutoring style was really helpful and his guidance on how to complete the practical exam invaluable. I hope the other students on the course also achieved similar results. So thank you all again and i will be recommending you when ever the opportunity arises. I am now working as Regional Safety Adviser within the motor industry.
Easily the most interesting and useful course I have been on to date. The interactive nature of the course was good.
Excellent course presented by very professional tutor who made the course very enjoyable and even managed to make it fun.
Well covered. Kept subjects engaging. Good balance of discussion/group work
The tutor was excellent in keeping the group engaged in what can often be a dry subject. The course jumped between slides/video/questions in such a way that it remained interesting for the duration. Thank you
I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the course. The venue was great and Ron was fantastic! I am so pleased that I chose to do my training at Lighthouse!
Please pass on my sincere thanks to everyone at Lighthouse for your help, assistance and hospitality during both my CPC and NEBOSH resettlement courses.
An excellent course delivered at a steady rate embracing all students and allowing their development to be dictated at a rate they felt comfortable with.
Ron has been great, really helpful, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic which makes it easy to learn from and fun.
Ron was an excellent tutor. Showing much passion in his teaching. He has a seemingly endless knowledge of Health and Safety and were no questions that he couldn’t answer. Many thanks for all his effort in providing an excellent educational experience.
Well presented and structured by a knowledgeable instructor. Many Thanks
A well put together course, Ron is obviously very knowledgeable on the subject an d this was shown throughout. Ron is also very good at not only covering the subject well but also very good at not only covering the subject well but also keeping all parties involved even if their knowledge is of different levels.
The course was excellent and the tutor (Ron) gives extra to ensure understanding.
Ron was a fantastic tutor and would recommend Lighthouse without hesitation.
I found the course very interesting, and the way things were explained by Ron made me understand the topics very well. Other than that Lighthouse Safety Training have been very helpful to me, they were accommodating to my personal issues by making sure that my dietary requirements were met. I am pleased and impressed.
First class course, many thanks.
Very Well run course. Ron was an excellent tutor.
Ron was a true professional, able to answer any question asked demonstrating an unbelievable amount of knowledge. I have done plenty of studying over my time, but I must say Ron has been in my opinion, the best tutor I have ever had in terms of knowledge, ability to teach & interact and his personality is perfect for such a course. A true pleasure, thanks.
Course Content is heavy but the tutor structured it in such a way to meet students varied abilities.
