Overview
NEBOSH IGC, the International General Certificate, is one of the leading health and safety qualifications and a mark of international excellence. It lets you be recognised for your health and safety knowledge anywhere in the world, and it gives employers and employees alike a set of practical, valuable skills.
The course is divided into two units, GIC1 and GIC2 (called IG1 and IG2 before 2026), taught over one week each. Each unit is assessed separately. NEBOSH assesses the certificate with an online open book examination: real workplace scenarios in which learners apply their skills and knowledge, instead of a paper exam.
