To obtain your Nebosh General Certificate qualification, you must pass both parts of the assessment.

The first part of the course – Unit 1, comprising elements 1-4 – is assessed online. Your examination will be marked by NEBOSH.

Further information and guidance on the examination is provided throughout Unit 1. It is essential that you take note of this guidance and follow it as you work through the first four elements.

The second part of the course – Unit 2, comprising elements 5-11 – is assessed through a practical assessment. This practical assessment requires you to carry out a risk assessment exercise in a workplace and record your findings on a standard form. This assessment can be completed in your own time, with full access to your textbook and the internet. Your practical assessment will be marked by NEBOSH. You will receive a “pass” or “fail” result; you will not receive a numerical score.

Further information and guidance on the practical assessment is provided in Unit 2. It is essential that you take note of this guidance and follow it while undertaking the assessment.

You must pass both parts of the assessment, the examination and the practical, within a five-year period to obtain the General Certificate qualification.
