Methods of Assessment
The method of assessment is a three-step journey:
Step 1. Open Book Examination (NG1)
The OBE (Open Book Examination) offers the flexibility to be conducted remotely, either at home or in a secure and conducive environment that allows focused concentration. You will engage with a scenario depicting a real-world workplace situation and tasked with executing a series of assignments, drawing upon the evidence provided in the scenario and applying the foundational knowledge acquired during your studies and revision.
Step 2. Closing interview
NEBOSH closing interviews are scheduled shortly after your examination and are coordinated by us. In essence, the closing interview ensures the authenticity of the submitted work and allows you to discuss your paper with us. As long as you are the individual who completed the exam, there is no cause for concern during the closing interview.
Step 3. Conducting a Risk Assessment (NG2)
Conducting a practical risk assessment is a core component of NG2. This assessment is designed to evaluate your ability in applying these industry-standards to real-world scenarios.
To ensure the highest standards of evaluation, both assessments will be reviewed by external examiners appointed by NEBOSH. These examiners are selected based on their extensive experience and expertise, guaranteeing that you undergo assessment by the most qualified professionals in the industry.
