New dates for paper-based and multiple-choice exams
Saturday, 29 August 2020
Many of our learners have had their NEBOSH exams postponed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We understand that this means many people have been unable to complete and achieve the qualification they have worked so hard for. As an interim measure – and only where safe to do so - we now plan to run the following exams on 9 September 2020, and 9 December 2020.
- Invigilated paper-based exams
- NEBOSH National and International General Certificate – GC2
- Certificate in Environmental Management – unit EC1
- National Certificate in Fire Safety and Risk Management - FC1
- International Certificate in Fire Safety and Risk Management – unit IFC1
- International Technical Certificate in Oil and Gas Operational Safety – unit IOG1
- National Certificate in Construction Health and Safety – unit NCC1
- International Certificate in Construction Health and Safety – unit ICC1
- National Certificate in the Management of Health and Well-being at Work – unit NHC1
- Multiple-choice question papers
- Health & Safety at Work – unit HSW1
- Environmental Awareness at Work – unit EAW1
- Health, Safety and Environment in the Process Industries – unit HSEP1
- NEBOSH HSE Certificate in Process Safety Management – unit PSM1
Registration for these exams will open in July and you will need to register through your Learning Partner.
Assessing you safely
Your safety is our priority. Your Learning Partners will adhere to local government guidance and advice for the running of 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. The first phase of this transformation project includes units NG1, IG1, NGC1 and IGC1 in the English language only and the date of the first exam for these will be announced shortly.
It is our hope that this September exam date – where safe to do so – will enable learners from other qualifications to complete their studies and achieve the qualification they have worked hard for. All of our qualifications remain in our transformation plans and the running of paper-based exams should be seen as an interim measure.
