    Assessment

    • The NEBOSH International Diploma is achieved when you have completed 3 assessments, one for each unit:

      • Unit DI1 is assessed by an assignment (in two parts - case study and work-based activities & reflective tasks). Part of the assessment will require learners to undertake some workplace-based activities so they need to ensure that they select a suitable workplace/organisation. 
      • Units DI2 & DI3 are assessed by a case study

      Assessments will be available twice a year for each unit, with 20 working days (DI1) or 10 working days (DI2 and DI3) allowed to complete the assignment and return them to NEBOSH.

  • Entry Requirements

    Whilst there are no formal entry requirements, the Diploma builds on the knowledge gained at Certificate level . This is not taught in the Diploma but will form part of the assessments, so you really need to have studied the NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent level course before starting the Diploma. All RRC courses will include resources to refresh your knowledge on the Certificate but this is unlikely to be sufficient if you have not studied the course previously.

    If you would like more detailed guidance, please contact us here.

    The Diploma is only available in English language and NEBOSH recommends the minimum standards of English as the International English Language Testing System (IELTS): 7.0 or higher.

The tutor, Steve, was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and the practical application and examples he used and explained really helped me through the exam.

The Live Online course was well structured and the RRC platform is really user-friendly and easy to use.

I would recommend RRC as a learning partner to anyone looking to undertake professional health and safety qualifications. I was so impressed by the service I received from RRC, I have decided to stay with them to continue my professional development and start my NEBOSH National Diploma

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and highly recommend other people to do a NEBOSH course through RRC International.

Thought the course was nicely laid out, well delivered and easy to follow.

Thank you as well for your constant support during this part of my journey with NEBOSH. Thank you for your amazing lectures and feedbacks and thank you for being so supportive during the learning process!

Good course materials and trainer presented very efficiently.

I found RRC during a tough time as many people have been through in recent times. This subject is something I've always had an interest in and gave me something to focus on. I just want to thank you and your team.

The course material provided were really informative not just for the course but to also use in my daily work. The main difference for me was the tutor... I would not hesitate recommending them.

The course was very useful and I have learned a lot from the excellent tutor Mr. Hassan, who kept us very interested, and I was impressed by the whole experience of making the learning process an enjoyable one.

The course was very fluent, easy going, and although there was lots of information to review, the tutor did a very good job in keeping us interested and explained everything. Great content and materials.

After failing my first attempt... I attended your revision course, I have to say the tips you gave me were invaluable, I completely changed my approach from the first exam.
