How is the NEBOSH Certificate Assessed?

The NEBOSH General Certificate is assessed in a two-step process:

• IG1: An online open book exam (OBE) and supporting closing interview
• IG2: A workplace-based practical risk assessment

You need to pass both assessments to achieve your qualification.

The open book exam replaces the 2-hour written exam for Unit IG1 of the NEBOSH General Certificate.  You can now sit both of your NEBOSH exams in your own home or another safe and suitable location.
