Which is best? The NCRQ Diploma vs the NEBOSH Diploma?

Will Taylor from Compassa gives a BRUTALLY honest and non-biased assessment of both the NCRQ Diploma and the NEBOSH Diploma. The NCRQ Diploma is a distance learning option which is very good and is assessed by a combination of assignments and closing interviews. If you are looking for a distance route, then it is definitely worth considering if you are based in the UK. Unfortunately it does not have the same recognition outside of the UK. But, like the NEBOSH Diploma, it does give you Graduate Membership of IOSH. In theory, once you have worked your way up to Chartered Membership, it should not make much difference which route you have chosen. For those who are crippled by exam anxiety, you should probably choose NCRQ over NEBOSH.
The NEBOSH Diploma is still the world's most recognised level 6 H&S qualification. The exams are notoriously difficult. For those who do NOT want a distance learning option, then it would be the best choice. There are many course providers, some better than others, and they offer a variety of formats such as classroom block release, full time, part-time, evening study, etc. However, choose your course provider carefully as there is some variation in the quality of course materials and tutors.

So glad you said this. I did the E learning route. I actually passed in the end by studying the official books and watching you tube videos from safety specialists

Great video. Ive been considering the Nebosh national diploma as it’s highly recognised in the scaffolding industry. More so than NCRQ version. Although due to affordability and having to do online distance learning. I will now look into this version. If I learn online I want the most information available to me. Cheers

Yeah I started an elearner nebosh general during covid but because the colleges were shut I later did a classroom based course which was carried out in a hotel conference room. The classroom was wayyyy better. You had material and the engagement with the tutor. The elearning felt like I was revising a PowerPoint slide show and I had to write all the information down onto a paper pad just so I physically had the information. Classroom based for the win!

Very well said. I did the NEBOSH Diploma e-learning though. To be honest, I didn’t use the platform. I just downloaded the books and learnt all by myself. The e-learning was not engaging enough and I felt it was a waste of time. That’s with one of the famous course providers.

Agreed. Will has worked with most of the major providers and would not recommend any of the NEBOSH courses. Death by powerpoint OR an online book.

Hi...great review. I'm planning to take my NEBOSH International diploma and I just find out that there is a new syllabus and assessment method. I didn't know much about NCRQ diploma but watching your video I guess the new NEBOSH syllabus will have almost simillar assessment method. Do you have any insight about this? Thank you
