With the start of a new year just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to think about what the future holds for you and your career progression, and what changes you’d like to see for the next 12 months and beyond.
Upskilling is one of the best ways to make yourself employable and give yourself as many opportunities as possible – and it’s also an excellent way to make yourself stand out from the crowd at your place of business, demonstrating to those in leadership positions that you value your work, want to take your job to the next level and want to push yourself to do better, go further and bolster the company up.
For those in health and safety roles, gaining relevant NEBOSH qualifications can be a very real feather in your cap, helping you to climb the ladder within your current company or making you a more attractive candidate for high-level roles elsewhere.
The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) provides a wide range of different health, safety and environmental qualifications that are internationally recognised and highly respected by governments and employers alike, so you really maximise your chances of boosting your career by taking a course or two.
Here at ACT, we have been providing NEBOSH certificate and diploma training since 1991, with training provided right across the UK, making it easy for you to prioritise career and personal development.
The NEBOSH national general certificate, for example, is one of the leading health and safety qualifications in the UK, held by more than 220,000 professionals and designed to give you a comprehensive understanding of general health and safety issues that affect every workplace in every sector and industry.
This would be a good place to start if you’re looking to launch a career in health and safety, with topics covered including legislation, identification and management of hazards and risks, and the legal/financial/moral reasons for managing health and safety, as well as how all of this applies to workplaces.
The National Diploma, meanwhile, is the equivalent to a bachelor’s degree and is ideal for anyone keen to maintain a long-term career in health and safety.
The May 2023 specification realigns the qualification with the needs of modern workplaces and professionals, providing you with the knowledge and skills you need to manage occupational health and safety appropriately.
Other NEBOSH qualifications we provide include risk management and assessment at work, construction, fire safety, environmental management, health and safety leadership excellence, manual handling, incident investigation, working with wellbeing, stress management and many more.
