How is the NEBOSH National General Certificate Qualification Assessed?

NG1: Open Book Exam

The new NEBOSH Open Book Exam is downloaded from the NEBOSH portal. You have 24 hours to complete the exam and upload your answers to the NEBOSH portal. You are allowed to consult your course materials, study book, and the internet as much as you like.

The exam is based on a realistic workplace scenario. You then have a series of questions or "tasks" to carry out. You need to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of how health and safety works in practice. The main benefit of this new Open Book approach is there is no longer any need to memorise vast amounts of information or lists of bulletpoints to pass the exam. However, do not underestimate the difficulty of the exam. It is still difficult to pass.

To pass you need to score at least 45 marks out of 100.

NG2: Practical Application

The practical application is submitted after the exam. Essentially it is a risk assessment based on a real workplace and a report to management. It has 4 parts:
Part 1: Description of the Organisation and Methodology
Part 2: Risk Assessment
Part 3: Select 3 Actions and write a report to management
Part: Review Date, Communicate, and Follow-Up

The practical application is probably the hardest aspect of the course due to the lack of a pass mark. It is simply a Pass or a Refer. If just one part of the NG2 practical fails to meet the pass criteria, the whole practical fails. This means it is very important that you have a course provider and tutor who will thoroughly explain to you what is required and what mistakes to avoid. This will maximise your chances of passing on your first attempt.
