NEBOSH International General Certificate (GIC)

NEBOSH GIC (International General Certificate) is one of the prime health and safety qualifications and a mark of international excellence. It lets you be recognised for your health and safety knowledge anywhere in the world, and it gives employers and employees alike a set of practical, valuable skills. Since 2026 NEBOSH calls it GIC (General International Certificate); before that it was called IGC.

The GIC is assessed with an Open Book Examination (OBE): instead of a paper exam, learners answer real-life scenario questions that show they can apply their skills with sound health and safety knowledge.
