The Nebosh International General Certificate is suitable for those embarking on a career in health and safety, providing a foundation for further professional study. It is modeled on the UK's Nebosh National General Certificate but takes a risk management approach based on international standards and best practices, with consideration of local laws and culture. Larger organizations often use Nebosh qualifications to develop supervisors and managers in building an effective safety culture.

2. INTERNATIONAL COURSE
 The International General Certificate is modelled on the
NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational
Health and Safety, the most widely recognised health and
safety qualification of its kind in the UK.

VRQs provide the knowledge and practical skills
required for particular job roles through a structured
study-based training programme, that combine the
testing of knowledge and understanding in written
examinations with practical application of learning in the
workplace

3. MAJAOR FACTOR
 The key difference between the two qualifications is
in the applicability of legal requirements. Rather
than being guided by a specifically UK framework,
the International General Certificate takes a risk
management approach based on best practice and
international standards, such as International
Labour Organisation (ILO) codes of practice, with
special reference

4. MODEL
 the model proposed in the ILO's "Guidelines on
Occupational Safety and Health Management
Systems" (ILO-OSH 2001). Local laws and cultural
factors form part of the study programme where
relevant and appropriate.

Many larger organisations choose the NEBOSH
qualifications as a key part of their supervisors’ or
management development programme

5. NEBOSH
 By ensuring that line managers have a sound
understanding of the principles of risk management
they build an effective safety culture in the
organisation.
Smaller organisations, operating in lower risk
environments, often choose the NEBOSH
International General Certificate in Occupational.
