What is the 2 Week NEBOSH Course?

At CST Training we offer two ‘2-week NEBOSH courses’, both of which take 10 days. Both qualifications provide in-depth knowledge of health and safety management, and are widely recognised by employers throughout the UK.

What Does a 2-Week Course Cover?

The content depends on which qualification you choose. The National General Certificate in Occupational Health & Safety covers core health and safety principles that can be applied in almost any workplace. Learners develop an understanding of hazard identification, risk management, legal responsibilities, and effective health and safety systems.

Health & Safety Management for Construction focuses specifically on construction environments. It covers topics like working at height, excavation work, construction hazards, site management responsibilities, and the legal duties associated with construction projects.

Who Should Take a NEBOSH Course?

These qualifications are ideal for anyone with responsibility for workplace health and safety. They are commonly completed by supervisors, site managers, health and safety advisers, project managers, and those looking to move into dedicated health and safety roles.

Because the National General Certificate applies across multiple industries, it’s suitable for professionals working in manufacturing, logistics, engineering, retail, and many other sectors. The construction qualification is best suited to those working on construction sites, or managing construction activities.
