The NEBOSH National Construction Certificate is aimed at Supervisors and Managers within the construction industry who are required to ensure that activities under their control are undertaken safely. It is likely to prove useful for those concerned with the management of buildings who may need to ensure that contractors are working safely. The qualification is 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. You will receive 106 hours of tutor contact time and it is also recommended by NEBOSH that you undertake a further 56 hours of private study time to help you familiarise yourself with the subject matter.
