NEBOSH course fees

When it comes to workplace health and safety, NEBOSH (National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health) qualifications are among the most respected globally. These certifications provide essential knowledge and skills for professionals looking to advance their careers in health and safety management.

However, the cost of NEBOSH courses varies significantly depending on the qualification level, study method (e-learning, blended, or classroom), and the provider. Understanding these fees is crucial for learners planning their training investment.

At Horizon Risk Consultancy, we believe in pricing transparency—what you see is what you pay. Unlike some providers who add hidden fees, we ensure that our course fees include both tuition and exam costs upfront. This guide breaks down the pricing structure so you can make an informed decision.

Overview of NEBOSH Course Fees

NEBOSH qualifications cover various levels of training, from certificates to diplomas, each with its own fee structure. The total cost of a course depends on:

  • The type of qualification (General Certificate, Diploma, or specialist courses).
  • The learning method (self-paced e-learning, blended learning, or instructor-led online classes).
  • Additional assessment and exam fees, which some providers charge separately.

At Horizon Risk Consultancy, we take a straightforward approach to pricing—all our course fees are clearly stated and include all necessary costs, so you won’t be caught off guard by unexpected charges as long as you complete your course within the access period (36 months for Diploma courses and 12 months for all other courses). Whether you choose online or blended learning, you can trust that the price at checkout covers your full learning journey.

This transparency allows you to plan your training effectively, knowing exactly what you’re paying for from the start.
