Submission FAQ’s
Question: I have entered my learner details on the form but cannot continue to enter my examination details?
Answer: The form will not allow you to continue to the next step if you have entered incorrect learner details, you have entered an invalid email address or if you do not currently have any units eligible for an EAR (i.e., you have no declared units within the EAR closing dates). Please ensure you have entered the learner number and learner first and last name correctly, according to your NEBOSH record. These details can be found on your Unit Result Notification (URN).

A: The form will not allow you to continue to the next step if you have not entered details of an examination unit which is eligible for an EAR.

Pop-ups must be enabled on your computer/payment device as quite often; the additional security prompts are provided by the bank via a pop-up so please do double check that these are enabled.
In addition, please double check the name and address you enter into WorldPay, exactly matches the name and address registered against the payment card.
