Our News

NEBOSH is saddened by the recent unrest affecting the Middle East. If you have been affected, we hope that you, your family and your colleagues are safe. 

We understand that some learners may be unable to take or submit upcoming assessments as planned. If this applies to you, we will refund your assessment fees to your Learning Partner so that you can rebook for another assessment in the future. Please contact your Learning Partner, who will liaise with NEBOSH to arrange this.  

We know that extenuating circumstances – such as a conflict - may prevent learners from completing all their qualification units in the specified timeframe, and we will work with you to find a solution if this is the case. Our Certificate Unit Validity Extension Policy outlines the criteria for accepting extension requests and the supporting documentation we require.  

You can view the policy here: Certificate Unit Validity Extension Policy. 

We also have a separate policy for Diploma learners who may wish to apply for a unit validity extension. You can view the policy here: Enrolment Policy for NEBOSH Diploma Level Qualifications. 

These policies and requests can be used by learners based in any country and all requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. 

Certificate deliveries and verifications
We are printing and dispatching certificates to our normal timescales. However, due to the ongoing conflict, there may be delays in the delivery of NEBOSH certificates in the region.

Certificates are sent to your Learning Partner, who then distributes them to you locally. These businesses may also be experiencing delays or working in more challenging conditions than usual. We greatly appreciate your patience whilst NEBOSH and our Learning Partners aim to deliver your certificate as soon as possible.

If you need to verify your qualification before your certificate arrives, you can submit a Manual Verification Request, which will verify your achievement using alternative documentation. Further information about this process, including how to submit a request, is available on our website here. This allows employers or other third parties to verify your achievement while you wait for your physical certificate. If you have already received your certificate, please use our online verification service as normal.

Wishing you safety and health,
NEBOSH
