Is NEBOSH a Good Qualification for your Health & Safety Career?
The NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety is a highly-respected and sought-after qualification that is nationally recognised as the ‘go-to’ professional workplace health and safety certification – and it’s highly beneficial for both employees and businesses. While NEBOSH might be relevant to almost any sector, it’s particularly important to health and safety in the construction, manufacturing and facilities management industries.
What Health and Safety Training Is Mandatory in the UK?
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, UK-based employers are required to provide ‘information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety at work of their employees’.

IOSH vs NEBOSH: What Is the Difference and Which Is Best?
Certifications granted by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) are both well-respected and widely recognised health and safety qualifications – although the right qualification for you might depend on your position and objectives.
How Much Does IOSH Training Cost?
At Kentec Training, we offer two workplace health & safety training courses accredited by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH); IOSH Working Safely & IOSH Managing Safely. IOSH Working Safely courses typically range from £115 to £150 per delegate, and offers a one-day, entry-level qualification that gives employees a practical understanding of workplace health and safety.
What is IOSH Managing Safely? A Complete Guide
IOSH Managing Safely is a three-day, internationally recognised health & safety qualification designed to support organisations in improving the safety, health and wellbeing of your workforce. Suitable for employees at all levels - from frontline staff to managers and senior leaders - these courses provide extensive, accessible training that helps reduce risk, prevent incidents and strengthen workplace compliance.
CITB Health & Safety Awareness or IOSH Working Safely: Which Do I Need?
IOSH Working Safely and the CITB Health and Safety Awareness course are both one-day entry-level health and safety qualifications, both recognised by employers across the UK, and both available at Kentec Training's centres in Tonbridge and Ashford - but they are not interchangeable. Which one you need depends on your industry, your role, and whether you need to apply for a CSCS card.
