Assessment and Certification

In order to add value to their organisation. Assessment is a 2 – step process.
A question papers (IG1 and ICC1) – to assess what the learner knows and, A practical risk assessment (ICC2) – to assess what the learner can do
ICC2
The aim of this assessment (ICC2) is for learners to practically apply the knowledge and understanding that they have gained from their studies. To do this, learners will need to complete a risk assessment of their own workplace. Before starting the assessment, learners must have completed their studies of the whole of the syllabus. The practical must normally be taken within 10 working days of the written examination. There is no time limit for actually carrying out the practical (although NEBOSH recommends 3 hours.) The practical is internally assessed by the accredited course provider and moderated by NEBOSH.
