Assessment

The NEBOSH International General Certificate is assessed in a two-step process:

• IG2: A workplace-based practical risk assessment

You need to pass both assessments to achieve your qualification.

Exploring the platform - Open Book Exam

5-7 days before your exam you will be emailed with a link to the online exam portal, a unique username and a temporary password.

At this point, you should log in, change your password and familiarise yourself with the platform ahead of your exam. Your exam paper will not be available to view until the date of your exam.

Exam Day

At 11:00 BST the open book examination question paper will be available on the NEBOSH online platform. You will have 24 hours to complete and submit your exam, although it is expected to take you around 5 hours to complete.

Closing Interviews

Following completion of your exam, Gulf Academy will be in touch to arrange an interview after your exam. It is simply there to confirm your identity and that it was you who completed your submitted paper. This should take no more than 15 minutes.

• Results are issued 10 weeks after the assessment date.
• Each unit is reported as ‘Pass’ or ‘Refer’. You must pass both units to achieve the qualification.

Qualification Grading

Your overall qualification grade will be based on the mark you achieve in your IG1 open book exam:

• Pass: 45-64 marks
• Credit: 65-74 marks
• Distinction: 75+ marks

The IG2 is a practical risk assessment based on a workplace.  This can be completed at a place of work or at home, and is submitted by email according to deadline. You’ll be awarded a grading for the IG2 either a pass or refer (fail).

• You must successfully pass both units to achieve your full NEBOSH International General Certificate.
