How is the NEBOSH Certificate assessed?

There are two assessments:

• Question paper (assesses what you know) – A 2-hour written exam consisting of 10 short answer questions (8-mark questions) and 1 long answer (20-mark question). Candidates must achieve 45% to pass this unit.

• Practical assessment (assesses what you can do) – A 3-hour practical risk assessment carried out in your workplace or other workplaces to demonstrate the knowledge learned in elements 5-11. Candidates must achieve 45% to pass this unit.

A ‘pass’ must be achieved in both units to achieve the National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety.

Exams held four times a year in March, June, September and December, but based on student’s needs, additional dates and on-demand exam sitting can be arranged throughout the year.

You need to pass both assessments to achieve your NEBOSH General Certificate.
