How are NEBOSH courses assessed?

NEBOSH courses are assessed by taking in-person examinations and/or assessments, which are set by NEBOSH’s own professionally qualified staff. External examiners also assist with assessment; most of whom are Chartered Safety and Health Practitioners (CMIOSH) operating within an industry, the public sector or in enforcement.

The technical standards are overseen by a Qualification and Technical Council with representatives drawn from national institutions.
