The NEBOSH General and Construction certificates can be gained in only 18 days saving six days and around £600 (compared with taking the two separately).
The NEBOSH National Certificate in Construction Health and Safety (NCC) and the NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety (NGC) are nationally and internationally recognised qualifications. They are both designed to help those with health and safety responsibilities in construction or other types of organisations make day-to-day decisions at work.
The course will give people a broad understanding of health and safety issues and enable them to manage risks within workplace activities effectively. Many people take the NEBOSH NCC and/or the NEBOSH NGC as a first step towards a career in health and safety.

The qualifications meet the academic requirements for Technical membership (Tech IOSH) of the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). They provide a valuable overview and are a sound basis for further professional study.
The NEBOSH NCC and the NEBOSH NGC are aimed at supervisors, managers, CDM co-ordinators and employee representatives in industry who are required to ensure that activities in their control are undertaken safely. They are likely to prove useful for those concerned with the management of buildings who may need to ensure that contractors are working safely. The qualifications are also appropriate for supervisors and managers working in other industries such as utilities, and even broadcasting, where temporary workplaces are a feature of their activities.
The NEBOSH NCC and the NEBOSH NGC both consist of three units; each separately assessed to enable students to take individual units in any order over a five-year period. The units are:
• NEBOSH NCC: NGC1 Management of health and safety, NCC1 Managing and controlling hazards in construction activities and NCC2 Construction health and safety practical application.
• NEBOSH NGC: NGC1 Management of health and safety, GC2 Controlling workplace hazards and GC3 Health and safety practical application.
The combined NEBOSH National General and Construction Certificate course lasts 18 days and delivers full qualifications in both the NEBOSH General Certificate and NEBOSH Construction Certificate.
CRS currently has 20 courses scheduled for the first quarter of 2016 across ten training venues in the UK.
