NEBOSH International General Certificate in Occupational

Health and Safety

New syllabus from 2018 specification of NEBOSH

Open Book Examination (OBE)

NEBOSH has reviewed the syllabus in line with the normal qualification development cycle.

The syllabus content, following extensive research, has been updated to provide learners

with the knowledge, skills, and understanding required in the modern workplace.

We developed the syllabus following wide consultation with key stakeholders, including

Learning Partners, employers, Trade Unions, standard-setting organizations, past and

present learners.

NEBOSH has reviewed the syllabus in line with the normal qualification development cycle.

The syllabus content, following extensive research, has been updated to provide learners

with the knowledge, skills, and understanding required in the modern workplace.

We developed the syllabus following wide consultation with key stakeholders, including

Learning Partners, employers, Trade Unions, standard-setting organizations, past and

present learners.

The biggest changes to the specifications are:

• New style syllabus guide that has been designed specifically for you;

• The syllabus wording is easier to understand, more direct, and less formal;

• We have separated the assessment criteria from the learning outcomes;

• We set out what will be assessed by examination and by the practical;

• Reduction of 20 hours overall (see below table);

• There will no longer be any shared units between the NG and IG. Each qualification will be standalone;

• The content from the previous thirteen elements of Units NGC1 and GC2 has now been combined into eleven elements.

As the structure of the qualification has changed, there has been a change in the hours.

The total qualification hours have decreased by 20. The November 2014 specification has

a total qualification hours of 133.

The grading has changed. A ‘Pass’ must be achieved in both units to achieve the

International General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety.

Unit IG1: 45 marks

Unit IG2: Pass or Refer

The qualification grade is based on the result of the Unit IG1 examination. Learners need

to achieve a pass in both units (Units IG1 and IG2) before a parchment can be issued.

Weighting will no longer be applied to results. The qualification grading boundaries are as

follows:

Distinction: 75 marks or higher

Credit: 65 – 74 marks

Pass: 45 – 64 marks

Has the assessment structure of the 2018 specification changed?

Yes - there will only be one examination instead of two. The examination will only assess

learning from elements 1-4. The questions will be written in a clear, accessible style with a

‘plain English’ check. There will be a risk assessment that will be marked by NEBOSH. It

draws on the common workplace hazard topics in elements 5-11, as well as the process of

risk assessment in element 3.

What do the changes mean to me?

What is the structure of the revised IGC?

New learners taking their first assessments on or after 11 November 2019 will still be

required to take the following assessments:

• Unit IG1: Management of health and safety (two-hour written examination)

• Unit IG2: Risk assessment and action plan (workplace-based practical application).

In England, the comparable to this is a Vocationally-Related Qualification (VRQ) at level 3

within the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) and Qualifications and Credit

Framework (QCF), or an A-Level standard.

Will learners still be eligible for professional membership?

Professional bodies (such as IOSH) will continue to recognize the current specification of

the National General Certificate for membership. IOSH has also confirmed that the 2018

specification will also be accepted for Associate or Technical membership.

The NEBOSH International General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety is a Level 3 globally recognized and trusted health and safety qualification, offered by the most reputable UK Based Independent Examination Board, NEBOSH.

In this mode of exam, candidates can refer to their course materials and e-books during the exam while the answer should be in their own words based on their underpinning health and safety knowledge.

NEBOSH has set 24 24-hour time frame for learners based on British Standard Time (BST) to submit assessment files in NEBOSH’s exam portal. Although, learners may complete the exam within 4-5 hours within the given time frame.

What is the NEBOSH Open Book Exam?

Candidates can make use of their textbook/course provider notes/internet as resources to understand the question and give the most appropriate answer to the given scenario/questions and complete the exam in the given time.

Copy-paste from any resource will lead to failure in the exam. Each question is unique and based on a real-time workplace scenario, as the main objective of the NEBOSH Open Book Examination is to ensure and know how the candidate is well-versed in using health and safety at the workplace.
