Why NEBOSH IGC?

The qualification that opens international doors

The NEBOSH International General Certificate (IGC) is the most widely requested entry-level qualification for HSE professionals worldwide. It is the global benchmark for occupational health and safety — recognised in 120+ countries.

Whether you want to work in European ports, offshore, the Middle East or international projects: with NEBOSH IGC on your CV you go further than with a national certificate alone.

  • Globally recognised by employers in ports, offshore, industry and construction
  • Higher day rates as an HSE contractor (€500–€1,500/day depending on region)
  • Open-book exam (IG1) + practical assignment (IG2) — no travel abroad required
  • Serious but achievable: around 8–10 hours of study per week alongside work
  • Direct access to international HSE roles and contract opportunities
