I have achieved a NEBOSH qualification. Do NEBOSH qualifications have an expiry date?

NEBOSH qualifications are lifetime qualifications, therefore do not expire. Once all the units of a NEBOSH qualification have been successfully completed, the qualification achievement does not expire and NEBOSH does not require qualifications to be periodically re-taken.

However, in a dynamic field such as health and safety, new legislation, standards, best practice and professional body requirements do evolve over time. As a result, NEBOSH qualification syllabuses are reviewed and updated regularly.

NEBOSH would recommend that longstanding qualification holders maintain a current knowledge of the subject area and would benefit from undertaking the latest version of the qualification to provide up-to date knowledge, understanding and workplace application. This is entirely optional.

Existing qualification holders who wish to update their knowledge can do so by:

• Taking the most recent version of a qualification they already hold 
• Taking an additional qualification which covers the topic at a higher level or covers a related topic
• Refreshing knowledge with the latest NEBOSH Publications: View and purchase NEBOSH books online - NEBOSH Shop
• Take a refresher course. You will need to contact Learning Partners directly to discuss if this is a service that they offer and the costs that are associated.

Learning Partners can be found using the search facility in the Where to Study section of the NEBOSH website.
