How is the NEBOSH Certificate Assessed?

The NEBOSH General Certificate is assessed in 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 passed to achieve the qualification.

The open book exam replaces the traditional 2-hour written exam for Unit IG1 of the NEBOSH General Certificate. You can now complete both NEBOSH exams from the comfort of your own home or any safe and suitable location.
