Following NEBOSH’s first open book examination (OBE) in August we are pleased to announce two further OBE dates for 2020:

  • Wednesday 28 October 2020
    English language only
  • Wednesday 2 December 2020
    English, Arabic, French, Portuguese (European), Russian, Spanish (European) and Turkish

These OBEs are available for any learner planning to sit an NG1, NGC1, IG1 or IGC1 unit examination. To sit one of these examinations please register via your NEBOSH accredited Learning Partner. Further information about open book examinations, including a selection of resources is available here: www.nebosh.org.uk/obe Please note: these resources will be updated shortly so please continue to check our website for updated and additional information.

Information about assessments for all other units/qualifications can be found here: https://www.nebosh.org.uk/our-news-and-events/our-news/interim-arrangements-for-nebosh-assessments/

 NEBOSH, one of the world’s leading providers of health, safety and environmental qualifications and courses, has announced a transformation project that will enable all of its learners to carry out their assessments from a safe location of their choosing.

Like organisations around the world, NEBOSH is adapting to the challenges and opportunities presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. It has therefore bought forward and expanded plans to offer remote and online assessments for its range of qualifications and courses.

The NEBOSH National and International General Certificates will be the first qualifications to offer remote assessments and, in August, the first open book examination will take place. An open book examination – a method widely used by other awarding bodies and universities – enables learners to take the examination in a safe location of their choosing. The new approach also has the added benefit of enabling people in even more countries around the world to study towards and gain a NEBOSH qualification.

Unlike invigilated paper-based examinations, NEBOSH’s open book examinations will present learners with a real-life scenario followed by a related series of questions that require learners to demonstrate the application of their skills.

David Morgan, NEBOSH Interim Chief Executive, says: “The health of our learners is paramount. We want them to feel safe when they carry out their NEBOSH assessments and the best way to do this is transform the way we do things.

“We have worked closely with our regulator, SQA Accreditation, to maintain the rigour and recognition people have come to expect from NEBOSH over its 40-year history. COVID-19 has certainly presented us with some challenges but the changes we’re making will bring us up to speed with the latest awarding technology so that learners can complete their studies and gain the qualification they have worked hard for.”

Learners who wish to register for an examination can do so via their NEBOSH accredited Learning Partner. Further information, including a selection of guidance and support resources, is available at: www.nebosh.org.uk/obe
