Overview

NEBOSH Level 6 International Diploma for Occupational Health and Safety Management Professionals course overview

The NEBOSH Level 6 International Diploma is an internationally recognised qualification designed to take your career to the next level, developing the capability to lead health and safety across complex organisations and apply global best practice to real-world challenges. It supports professionals looking to move beyond operational management into strategic leadership.
 
As a NEBOSH Gold Learning Partner, IMPAC has over 18 years’ experience delivering NEBOSH qualifications and supporting learners through advanced study. This qualification provides a deep understanding of risk management, legislation, and leadership from an international perspective. Delivered through a blended learning approach, the programme allows learners to balance study with professional responsibilities over a flexible timeframe. It can also contribute towards NZISM Professional membership, alongside other requirements.
 
We don’t approach this as theory alone. Learners are supported throughout their journey with access to online content, live webinars, activities, and ongoing tutor support. The course covers key areas including international health and safety principles, controlling workplace risks, and developing strategic approaches to managing health and safety across organisations.
 
IMPAC’s focus is on developing professionals who can operate at a strategic level. Participants leave with the knowledge and capability to influence decision-making, develop long-term health and safety strategies, and lead meaningful improvements across their organisation.

Our approach

+IMPAC's NEBOSH Level 6 International Diploma for Occupational Health and Safety Management Professionals training approach

IMPAC offers this diploma as a blended learning package that combines online and distance learning to support a range of learning styles and help learners balance study alongside work and personal commitments. Learners have access to online content created by IMPAC, including live webinars, recorded sessions, videos, structured activities, and ongoing tutor support via telephone and web.
 
The learning experience is designed to keep learners actively engaged throughout the programme rather than working through content alone. Participants complete practice activities based on previous exams and textbook material, with regular opportunities to ask questions, test their understanding, and receive feedback as they progress through the course.
 
A major strength of the programme is the level of tutor and pastoral support available throughout the learning journey. IMPAC’s highly qualified tutor uses current workplace examples, practical discussion, and detailed guidance to help learners unpack complex health and safety concepts, stay engaged with the programme, and build confidence progressively across their study.
