Accreditation
Al-Khobraa certified. On completion delegates receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of achievement.
What do Al-Khobraa safety, health and environment courses cover?
Al-Khobraa's HSE portfolio covers occupational health and safety management, process safety management (PSM), risk assessment, incident investigation, environmental management and safety leadership — including preparation for internationally recognised qualifications such as NEBOSH and IOSH Managing Safely. Courses are taught by practitioners with Saudi industrial experience in Arabic and English.
Who should attend a safety, health and environment course?
These courses suit HSE officers, safety supervisors and managers, operations and maintenance engineers, plant and site supervisors, contractor and project HSE staff, and any manager accountable for workplace safety performance. Most programmes assume practical site experience rather than a formal safety qualification.
How long are safety, health and environment courses, and where are they held?
Most Al-Khobraa safety, health and environment courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.
What certificate will I receive?
Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.
Can safety, health and environment training be delivered in-house for our team?
Yes. Any Al-Khobraa safety, health and environment course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team. Al-Khobraa is an approved HRDF (Hadaf) provider, so eligible Saudi employers can seek training support. Contact us for a quotation.
