ASSESSMENT & CERTIFICATION

Assessment
Assessment is a two-step process:
The NG1 assessment is in the new open book format that is taken at home or other suitable place, this is replaces the previous invigilated paper-based examination.
After the NG1 Open Book Exam, learners will be required to undertake a closing interview with the trainer or head of course provider, the purpose of the closing interview is to give assurance that the paperwork submitted is their own original work.
The NG2 practical risk assessment is also conducted in the workplace/home and is to be submitted within 10 days of the last date of the NG2 element.
Both assessments are marked by examiners appointed by NEBOSH.
Examiners are chosen by NEBOSH for their experience and expertise to ensure that learners are assessed by the very best from the industry.
Results and Certification
Those who successfully complete the course and pass the assessments are awarded the official NEBOSH National Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety.
All results for assessments should be received within 50 working days from the date of the examination or submission of the practical risk assessment. The specific date will be provided on examination entry confirmation forms.
Certificates will be posted direct to learners by us upon receipt from NEBOSH
HOW ARE COURSES RUN?
Full-time Block Courses
Accessibility and Special Requirements
Unfortunately, as the classroom is located on the first floor and with no lift facility, delegates with certain physical impairments may find it access challenging.
Please inform us if you have any physical or learning impairments at least 6 weeks prior to the start of the course.
How are Courses Run?
Our NEBOSH courses are run as full-time block courses, usually, Monday to Friday 9:00am until approximately 17:00pm
Whilst other health and safety training providers may attempt to offer the NEBOSH courses in other formats, such as e-learning, distance learning, one day a week/month etc, in our experience we have consistently found that full-time block courses with exams scheduled one week afterwards make for a significantly improved likelihood of delegates passing the first time around.
