NEBOSH Certificate Open Book Exam Process

You’ll be emailed login details to the NEBOSH online exam portal around 7 days before your exam date. You should take this time to get to know the platform and address any challenges before your exam day.

NG2/IG2 Exam

The second unit of the exam is the risk assessment, you will be able to submit the completed risk assessment between the open book exam date and the NG2/IG2 submission deadline. There is no specific date when you can start your NG2/IG2 assessment as long as you have received the tuition and the assessment is relevant and up to date, you can choose how early you wish to start the assessment.

Exam day

Your open book exam paper will be available from 11:00 UK time. You will have 24 hours to complete and submit your exam, although it is expected to take you around 5 hours to complete.

Closing interviews

Closing interviews are held within the weeks following your Open Book Exam. The interview should last around 10 minutes and will be completed online.

Don’t worry, the interview doesn’t impact your marks for your paper. It’s simply there to confirm your identity and make sure it was you who completed the exam.

Your NEBOSH Certificate Exam Results

Results for your exam paper should be emailed to you within 50 days of your exam date. As before, your full qualification will not be complete until you pass your NG2/IG2 Practical Submission.
