Health and Safety have become very important in the workplace these days. Most companies require their staff to have some form of training in these areas. One of the most popular bodies delivering training programs in Health and Safety is NEBOSH.

Have you been looking to take a training with NEBOSH? Are you wondering what the examination fees are like? We will answer all your questions regarding writing the NEBOSH exams in Nigeria in this post. Let’s dive in.

Cost of NEBOSH Exams in Nigeria

NEBOSH stands for National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health. This board is based in the United Kingdom and delivers vocational trainings and certificates in Health, Safety, and Environment. The question that begs an answer at this point is, “what are the NEBOSH Exam Fees in Nigeria?”

Overall, NEBOSH training in Nigeria costs between N200,000 and N300,000. This cost covers several contributing costs including the training program, registration with the British Council, textbooks, writing kits, and GC3 assessment fees. The cost of the training differs slightly from one city to another in Nigeria. Let’s look at the major cities in Nigeria to see how much it costs to undertake this training.

NEBOSH HSE Training in Abuja (FCT)

Abuja is regarded as the seat of power in Nigeria because it is the Federal Capital Territory. While the market here is quite competitive, it doesn’t match the fast-paced and congested Lagos State. Regardless, there are several companies operating in this axis that offer NEBOSH training services.

After surveying the Abuja training landscape, we discovered that the standard NEBOSH HSE training costs between N80,000 and N250,000. This training covers HSE 1, 2, and 3. Usually, the cost of the training is dependent on two factors. These factors include the training duration and the international recognition of the company.

NEBOSH HSE Training in Lagos

Lagos is the commercial centre of Nigeria with a population of over 20 million individuals. Being the commercial capital of the country, Lagos plays home to a plethora of construction, manufacturing, and oil-related companies. Because of this, there are so many NEBOSH Training centres domiciled in Lagos State.

Despite the high level of competition among these training centres, the training costs still fall between N50,000 and N300,000. Again, the cost of the training depends on the training duration and the international recognition of the training institute.

You have the luxury of taking on the different modules of the training individually. In this case, you can pay between N30,000 and N70,000 for HSE 1 and between N50,000 and N120,000 for HSE 2. As expected, the costliest of the three is the final module, HSE 3. This course costs between N80,000 and N130,000. The training duration for the three modules put together can be between 3 days and 3 months.

NEBOSH HSE Training in Port-Harcourt

Port-Harcourt is the capital of Rivers State, a place that is regarded as the core of oil and gas in Nigeria. This part of the country is home to some of the biggest oil and gas companies in the West African region. It is no secret that HSE is one of the most important courses for people in the oil and gas sector. No wonder there are so many NEBOSH HSE Training centres in this part of the country.

Just like it is in Lagos State, the training costs between N50,000 and N300,000 for the complete course. Most of the training institutes prefer that candidates take all three courses together. However, there are few centres that are quite flexible and lenient with their training procedures.

About NEBOSH

As we mentioned above, NEBOSH is a British-based body. From the name, it is clear that this body offers training in Health, Safety, and Environment. Records have it that there are over 350,000 individuals with the NEBOSH International General Certificate the world over.

While this body is recognized for this certificate, it is important to note that it doesn’t really offer training. Instead, it offers a syllabus for the training and provides techniques for evaluation. These techniques are the basis of accreditation for training providers in HSE worldwide. After the centres prepare the students for the exams through training, the students write the exams. Upon completing the training and examinations, they receive a NEBOSH certificate.
