Assessment is via two written exams each of two hours duration. The first paper undertaken in the morning is entitled Paper A1 “Controlling workplace hazards” and the afternoon exam is Paper A2 “The Management of Health and Safety”. The practical examination is held on a separate day and involves the physical inspection of a workplace and is designed to test candidate’s ability to complete a health and safety assessment and produce a management style report on their findings. To help maintain flexibility, SHEilds allow students to sit the examinations at their local NEBOSH accredited test centre or British Council (an additional sitting fee may be applicable), or students can choose to sit the examinations at any of SHEilds approved test centres free of charge (excluding examination registration fees).
