Course assessments
NEBOSH has introduced open book exams for both the NEBOSH National and International General Certificates – units NG1, IG1, NGC1 and IGC1. This replaces in-person closed book exams and enables learners to sit their NEBOSH assessment in their own home or another safe and suitable location.
Assessment is a two-step process.
• An online open-book assessment
• A 3-hour practical risk assessment to demonstrate the knowledge
You need to pass both assessments to achieve your NEBOSH International General Certificate.
