The NEBOSH National Diploma in Environmental Management is suitable for environmental management specialists, those managers with a foundation health and safety qualification (eg, the NEBOSH National General Certificate a.k.a. the NEBOSH Level 3 Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety) and health and safety practitioners (eg, those with a NEBOSH National Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety a.k.a. the NEBOSH Level 6 Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety), who wish to effectively manage their environmental responsibilities. The Environmental Diploma provides a sound basis for progression to MSc level: A number of UK universities offer MSc programmes that accept the NEBOSH Environmental Diploma as a full or partial entry requirement.
Unit ED1 is assessed by a three-hour written examination. Candidate scripts are marked by external examiners appointed by NEBOSH.
Unit ED2 is assessed by a workplace-based project, marked by the course provider and moderated by NEBOSH.
The qualification consists of two mandatory units. Once a candidate has been awarded a unit certificate for both units, the overall qualification grade is determined by adding together the weighted marks of the two units. The weighting is 75% for Unit ED1 and 25% for Unit ED2.
