The NEBOSH Level 6 International Diploma is designed to help aspiring leaders progress in the industry. By combining specialist risk management knowledge with practical experience and business acumen, you’ll have the credentials to climb the health and safety ladder!

You should already have a fundamental understanding of health and safety issues, such as risk management, hazard control, accident investigation, and international regulation.

The NEBOSH International Diploma teaches health and safety management at senior-level. It's based on best practice and international regulation, such as the International Labour Organisations (ILO) codes of practice.
