This course is more than just an online PowerPoint with text-heavy slides. The interactive videos require participation to keep you involved , you can study when you like and as fast or as slow as you like.
This course is approved by NEBOSH and you are tutored by a Chartered Member of IOSH and ex-NEBOSH Team Leader Examiner.
Course Duration - A number of our learners pass the course in as little as 3 months, investing circa 8 hours per week in study. However, you have as long as it takes to complete the course, and NEBOSH recommend investing 108 total hours in study.
Assessment details:
The assessments can be attempted as soon as you finish the course and you can do everything online, where you like and when you like. Support is available by email and phone, 5 days a week and you will typically get a response the same working day.
Once you have completed the course and practiced, you will sit 2 assessments:
- The GNC1 (formally NG1) open book exam - This is completed online and is not invigilated. You will need to log on to the NEBOSH platform and will be given a realistic work scenario with a series of questions to test your understanding. It normally takes a minimum of 4 hours to complete it and results will take at least 8 weeks. The pass mark is circa 45% but varies slightly depending on the difficulty of the paper.
- The GNC2 (formally NG2) Practical Project (a risk assessment and report based on your own workplace) - This is submitted online and it is a significant piece of work and must meet various criteria to pass. The NG2 is submitted within a 10 day period after the monthly NG1 exam date (regardless of whether you are sitting the exam that month or not) and there is no pass mark. It either meets all of the critical criteria or it doesn’t i.e. it is pass or fail and it will take at least 8 hours to complete and the results take at least 8 weeks.
