One of the first questions anyone considering the NEBOSH International General Certificate (IGC) asks is: “How much does it actually cost in Pakistan?” The honest answer is that fees vary between institutes, but understanding what goes into that price helps you compare offers properly instead of just chasing the lowest number.
What’s Typically Included in NEBOSH IGC Fees
A NEBOSH IGC course fee in Pakistan generally covers:
- Registered training with an NEBOSH-accredited learning partner
- Study materials and course content for GIC1 (Management of Health & Safety) and GIC2 (Risk Assessment)
- Instructor-led sessions (online, in-classroom, or both)
- Access to the exam portal and guidance on the GIC1 open-book exam and GIC2 practical risk assessment report
- NEBOSH examination registration fee (this is sometimes billed separately by the institute, so always confirm)
What Affects the Price
Fees can differ significantly between institutes depending on:
- Delivery mode: Fully online self-paced courses are typically cheaper than instructor-led classroom training.
- Whether the NEBOSH exam fee is bundled: Some institutes include the official NEBOSH exam registration in their quoted price; others charge it separately. Always ask this directly before comparing prices.
- Instructor quality and support: Institutes offering dedicated mentorship, mock exams, and one-on-one report review typically charge more than those offering materials only.
- Location and overheads: Institutes with physical campuses and in-person batches often price slightly higher than online-only providers.
What ISC Charges
At Inspire Safety College (ISC) in Faisalabad, the NEBOSH IGC course is currently priced at PKR 35,000, which includes full course content (150 hours, 41 lectures, 25+ hours of video), instructor support, GIC2 report guidance, and exam portal walkthroughs. Course access is valid for 60 days from enrollment.
Tips Before You Enroll Anywhere
- Confirm accreditation: Make sure the institute is a genuine NEBOSH-accredited Learning Partner, not just offering “NEBOSH-style” content.
- Ask what’s NOT included: Exam fees, report re-submission fees, and certificate courier charges are common extras that can catch you off guard.
- Check pass-rate support: Ask whether the institute provides mock exams, GIC2 report review, and retake guidance if you don’t pass the first time.
- Compare total cost, not just headline price: A cheaper course with a separate, unbundled exam fee can end up costing more than an all-inclusive package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the NEBOSH exam fee separate from the course fee?

This varies by provider — at ISC, access is valid for 60 days from enrollment, which is generally enough time to complete both GIC1 and GIC2 with regular study.
Can I pay in installments?
Some institutes offer installment plans. Ask directly, as this is not always advertised publicly.
Is a more expensive course always better?
