How is the NEBOSH Certificate assessed?

NEBOSH has introduced open book exams for both the NEBOSH National and International General Certificates – units NG1, IG1, NGC1 and IGC1. This replaces in-person closed book exams and enables learners to sit their NEBOSH assessment in their own home or another safe and suitable location.

Assessment is a two-step process.

An online open-book assessment
A 3-hour practical risk assessment to demonstrate the knowledge

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

"I recently received the NEBOSH International General Certificate training in Abu Dhabi and thought it was an excellent course. The trainer was very experienced and was an excellent communicator, he focused on exam techniques and we all had plenty of practice with the types of questions that could appear in the exam. The course was delivered in a very engaging way with lots of short videos and examples from industry that really brought the content to life. The course helped to fill gaps in my health, safety and environmental knowledge and I am very glad that I took it. The logistics and organisation were also excellent."
