NEBOSH Enhanced Duty Premises Certificate, eLearning
The NEBOSH Martyn’s Law qualification for the enhanced tier, as self-paced eLearning. Acadame is the only provider in the world approved to deliver it this way, so your designated senior individual can get qualified without losing three days to a classroom.
Who it is for
Who this qualification is for
Martyn’s Law puts named people on the hook. The enhanced tier applies to premises and qualifying events where 800 or more people may be present, and it requires a designated senior individual who can answer for the measures in place. This is the qualification that proves they know what they are answering for.
- The designated senior individual for an enhanced duty premises or qualifying event
- Venue, estate and operations managers at stadiums, arenas, theatres and conference centres
- Festival and event organisers, and the crowd management teams who work with them
- Hotel, leisure and retail managers responsible for a site over the 800 threshold
- Local authority officers responsible for theatres, leisure centres, markets and civic venues
- Heads of security and security managers moving into a compliance role
- Health and safety managers who have inherited Martyn’s Law alongside everything else
Course content
What the course covers
Eleven sections and eighty activities, built from the NEBOSH syllabus rather than around it. Narration runs the whole way through, and the content unlocks one lesson at a time so you always know where you are up to.
Course introduction
Why this law exists and Martyn’s story, who NEBOSH are, how you will be assessed and how you will be supported.
The nature of terrorism and the legal framework
What terrorism is under UK law, the ideologies behind it, how existing health and safety law already bites, what counts as qualifying premises and a qualifying event, and how to apply the standard and enhanced tier distinction to your own site.
Identifying and monitoring potential threats
The UK threat level system, what makes a site an attractive target, monitoring threat intelligence and responding when the level changes.
Understanding terrorist threats and site vulnerabilities
Marauding attacks, vehicle as a weapon, improvised explosive devices, fire as a weapon, CBRN, cyber enabled and drone threats, and the physical vulnerabilities that make each one easier.
Public protection procedures
The four procedures the Act requires: evacuation, invacuation, lockdown and shelter in place, and how to plan a response that works on your site rather than on paper.
Implementing public protection measures
What the measures are, assessing whether they are suitable, reviewing them, and applying the deter, detect, delay and deny model to real venues.
Documenting compliance with the 2025 Act
What section 7 requires you to document, what goes in each statement, how to justify the measures you chose, the two kinds of likelihood, and keeping the documentation current.
Business continuity and recovery
Priorities in the immediate aftermath, assisting responders, recognising shock and distress, longer term and cyber recovery, and post incident investigation.
Developing a strong security culture
What a positive security culture looks like, the role of leadership, why staff hesitate to report and how to remove the barriers.
Preparing for the assessment
How the PTE1 assessment works, what the examiner is looking for, and practice against the real format before you sit it.
Outcomes
What you will be able to do
- Work out with confidence whether your premises or event falls in the standard tier, the enhanced tier or outside the Act entirely
- Carry out and record a terrorism risk assessment that stands up to scrutiny
- Choose public protection procedures and measures that suit your site, and justify why you chose them
- Produce the documentation section 7 requires, and keep it current
- Brief and train your own staff so the measures work on the night, not just in the file
- Act as the designated senior individual with a recognised qualification behind you
Your legal duty
Martyn’s Law, and why the clock matters
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025, with an implementation period of at least 24 months before the duties bite. In practice that puts enforcement around spring 2027.
The enhanced tier applies where 800 or more people may be present at qualifying premises or a qualifying event. It requires more than awareness: a terrorism risk assessment, public protection measures, documented compliance, and a designated senior individual who is accountable for all of it.
The Security Industry Authority is the regulator. Waiting for the deadline is the expensive way to do this, because the people who can sign it off are the people whose diaries fill up first.
- Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025
- Enhanced duty premises: 800 or more people may be present
- Section 7: documented compliance
- Home Office statutory guidance
- ProtectUK and SIA guidance
Practicalities
How the course works
Would you rather have a tutor?
Some people learn better with a tutor in the room and a group to argue with. The same qualification runs as three days classroom or live online at £650 + VAT, with the NEBOSH assessment included.
For employers
Buying for a team
A hotel group with fourteen sites over the threshold needs fourteen people who can answer for them. eLearning is the only sensible way to do that without emptying the rota, and we will price it properly rather than charging you fourteen times.
- Volume pricing from five places, and again from ten
- One invoice, one point of contact, no purchase orders per head
- Progress reporting so you can see who has finished and who has not
- Assessment sittings arranged around your operation
- Bespoke onsite delivery where you would rather have a tutor in the room
NEBOSH Enhanced Duty Premises Certificate, eLearning: common questions
Yes. NEBOSH approved Acadame to deliver the National Certificate in Protecting Enhanced Duty Premises and Events from Terrorism as eLearning, and at the time of writing we are the only provider in the world approved to do so. Everyone else teaches it in a classroom or live online with a tutor and fixed dates.
The £495 + VAT covers the course itself, 24 months of access and your named learning advisor. The NEBOSH PTE1 assessment is booked separately at £68 + VAT, which covers your first attempt. A resit is charged at the same £68 + VAT. So the total to qualify is £563 + VAT.
It is the same qualification, the same syllabus and the same NEBOSH assessment. The certificate NEBOSH issues does not say how you studied.
About sixteen hours of study, which is what the three day classroom course covers in taught hours. Most people spread it over a few weeks. You have 24 months, so there is no pressure to rush it.
Enhanced duty applies where 800 or more people may be present at qualifying premises or a qualifying event. Between 200 and 799 is standard duty, which is a shorter one day qualification. If you are not sure which side of the line you are on, the first section of this course settles it, or ask us and we will tell you straight.
The Act received Royal Assent on 3 April 2025 with an implementation period of at least 24 months, so enforcement is expected around spring 2027. The duties are not live yet, which is exactly why now is the sensible time to get the qualification rather than the month before.
Every screen is narrated, and the platform carries sixteen accessibility settings you control yourself: contrast, colour, bigger text, line height, letter and word spacing, a dyslexia friendly typeface, dark theme, focus mode, reduced motion and playback speed among them. Your settings follow you across every course and every device you sign in from. Tell your learning advisor what you need and they will sort the rest.
Yes, and you should ask us rather than buying places one at a time. There is volume pricing from five places, one invoice, and progress reporting so you can see who has finished.
