How is the NEBOSH Certificate Assessed?

The NEBOSH General Certificate is evaluated through a two-step process:

  • IG1: An online open book exam (OBE) and supporting closing interview
  • IG2: A workplace-based practical risk assessment

Both assessments must be successfully completed to obtain the qualification.

The open book exam replaces the previous 2-hour written exam for Unit IG1 of the NEBOSH General Certificate. You can now take both NEBOSH exams in the comfort and safety of your own home or another suitable location.
