Hello,

Has anybody ever done the NEBOSH certificate online? How long did it take and how hard was it?!

Thanks in advance.

No, it's not too challenging. Everyone passed.
I would suggest the full time course is the better option. You do it all in one go and everything is fresh in your mind.

Thanks, I have a new job as a health and safety advisor. I’ve done H&S tasks in an office manager capacity and having a level 2 certificate.

My new job will pay for me to become NEBOSH certified, just wondering if I should do the full time, two week course or the online study.

Are the exams challenging? I’ve got the NEBOSH textbook that I’ve been looking at.

Thanks!

Hi

I did it through work so not an online course. We had 2 weeks in a classroom setting and the exam.
It was fairly straight forward

Not sure what you do/want to do for a living but it's def respected. I encourage my grads to do it to add to their saleability (we submit CVs to our clients).

I haven't, but I have heard very good things about NCRQ. I think there is a health and safety forum which talks about the differences.
