Scheduled dates for paper-based exams and digital assessments

Saturday, 29 August 2020

Find the latest exam schedules for all NEBOSH assessments, including any changes to assessment formats.

We regularly review and revise NEBOSH qualifications to make sure our learners are studying the most relevant content with rigorous assessments. This, combined with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, has lead to rescheduled exams and the introduction of new assessment methods.

The table below will you help you find the latest assessment information and exam schedules for your qualification. Click the qualification title for full information, including syllabus guides, leaflets and confirmed exam dates and results dates for 2022 and 2023.

It is not possible to register directly with NEBOSH for your assessment, please speak to your Learning Partner for registration. 

Assessing you safely

Your safety is our priority. Your Learning Partners will need to adhere to local government guidance and advice for the running of in-person exams – on the day of the exam please ensure you follow all safety requirements and procedures as instructed.

We are committed to developing safer, alternative assessment routes for all of our learners and more information on recent changes can be found in our Digital Assessment section.
