Support for our learners in the Middle East

Tuesday, 3 March 2026

Notice from NEBOSH.

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. 

Wishing you safety and health,
NEBOSH
