No specific prerequisites are mandatory, but we highly recommend you have field experience in safety practice and one or more introductory safety training courses.
NEBOSH recommends an English language level Equivalent to an International English Language Testing System score of 6.0 or higher in IELTS tests.
Unit IG1: “Pass” or “Refer” based on the passing threshold set by NEBOSH
Unit IG2: ‘Pass’ or ‘Refer’, you need to meet the criteria for a ‘Pass’ standard.
A ‘Pass’ must be achieved in both units to achieve the International General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety.
As of now Trainovate™ only offers NEBOSH IGC in English language, but Arabic and other languages may be available soon.
Once you have your qualification parchment for the IGC, you can apply for the following memberships:
Associate membership of the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (AIIRSM)
Associate or Technical membership of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH)
Once you register for this online training, you will have a maximum of 6 months to complete the whole program, if you cannot make it within 6 months, you will need to re-register for the whole program.
You will have five years to complete your assessments, once you are done with this online training.
The five-year period starts from the date you passed your first successful unit exam (‘declaration date’).
Any unit that is five or more years old will not count towards the qualification and you will need to retake the exam for this/these unit(s) if you still want to complete the qualification.
You may resit a unit assessment if you:
are ‘Referred’ (i.e. didn’t pass)
want to retake Unit IG1 to get a higher grade (Unit IG2 is ‘Pass’ or ‘Refer’ and does not count towards the qualification grade).
There is no limit to the number of times you can resit unit(s) within the five-year period.
A refund will not be given if you register to re-sit a unit before an original unit result is known.
If your resit result is lower than the original mark, you will keep the original mark awarded for the unit.
To resit or retake, you need to pay the exam fees again.
If you want to try to improve your grade in Unit IG1, you need to tell NEBOSH in writing within 20 working days of the declaration date of your third successful unit.
Otherwise, a qualification parchment (certificate) will automatically be issued showing the original declaration date.
You shall receive only one certificate for NEBOSH IGC, it shall be issued within 40 days of your result release date, and again you must pass both unit assessments to receive your certificate.
