The NEBOSH General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety is your gateway to a rewarding career in health and safety management. Yet, achieving a first-time pass in both the NG1 open-book exam and the NG2 practical risk assessment can be daunting without the right preparation. At Target Zero Training, we’ve perfected a training approach that empowers 98% of our delegates to succeed on their first attempt. Here’s how our programme stands apart:

1. Bespoke Course Design Aligned to NEBOSH Standards

Target Zero’s NEBOSH General Certificate course is meticulously crafted to mirror the official NEBOSH syllabus. We break the content into manageable modules that build your understanding step by step:

Module 1: Foundations of Health & Safety Law
Clear explanations of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and supporting regulations, with real-world examples illustrating legal duties in the workplace.
Module 2: Risk Management Frameworks
Systematic training on risk assessment principles, hierarchy of control, and method statement development—essential for both NG2 and practical site application.
Module 3: Workplace Hazards and Controls
In-depth coverage of common hazards (manual handling, hazardous substances, working at height, fire safety) with interactive case studies to practice hazard identification.
Module 4: Safety Management Systems
How to design, implement, and audit health and safety management systems. We incorporate best-practice templates and checklists to streamline your NG2 submission.

2. Expert Tutors with Real-World Experience

Our instructors are seasoned health and safety professionals who have managed HSE inspections, led site safety teams, and developed corporate safety policies. Their first-hand knowledge delivers two key benefits:

Contextual Learning
Rather than rote theory, you’ll learn to apply concepts to everyday scenarios, ensuring you understand both the “why” and the “how.”
Insider Exam Insights
Tutors share proven strategies for answering NG1 questions efficiently, and guide you through the NEBOSH marking criteria to maximise your NG2 grade.

3. Intensive Mock Test Programme

Repetition and feedback are critical for exam success. Target Zero’s mock test suite is unrivalled:

NG1 Open-Book Simulation
Two full-length, timed mock exams replicate the 24-hour format. You’ll learn to navigate the NEBOSH online portal, locate guidance documents rapidly, and structure answers under time pressure.
NG2 Practical Assessment Drills
Detailed risk assessment scenarios—complete with site photographs, process flow information, and service drawings—allow you to hone your hazard identification and control planning. Each mock is reviewed against official marking schemes, highlighting areas for improvement.
Post-Mock Review Sessions
After every mock, you’ll attend a review webinar where tutors dissect common mistakes, demonstrate high-scoring responses, and answer your questions live.

Beyond classroom hours, our delegates receive comprehensive revision packs designed for efficient study:

Legislation Summaries
Concise one-page breakdowns of every regulation you need to master for NG1.
Risk Assessment Templates
Pre-formatted NG2 templates with embedded guidance notes, so you focus on analysis rather than formatting.
High-Yield Question Bank
Curated lists of historically popular NG1 questions, complete with model answers and examiner commentary.
Exam Strategy Guides
Step-by-step checklists for pre-exam preparation, time management techniques, and answer-planning tactics.

5. Interactive and Supportive Learning Environment

Learning is more effective when it’s interactive and supportive. Target Zero’s course delivery incorporates:

Live Group Workshops
Small groups encourage discussion of complex problems, enabling peer-to-peer learning and collaborative problem-solving.
Daily Q&A Sessions
Open forums at the end of each day ensure you clarify doubts immediately, reinforcing understanding before progressing.
Dedicated Online Forum
A private discussion board where you can post questions, share resources, and learn from fellow delegates, moderated by our tutors.
One-to-One Mentorship
Following the main course, each delegate receives a 30-minute personal tutoring session to address specific weak areas.

6. Proven Track Record and Continuous Improvement

Our 98% first-time pass rate is supported by rigorous data analysis and continuous course refinement:

Performance Monitoring
We track mock test scores, exam outcomes, and feedback to identify content gaps and adjust teaching methods.
Annual Syllabus Updates
Whenever NEBOSH issues updates or clarifications, our materials and mock tests are revised within days to reflect changes.
