Methods of study
Face-to-face, 5 days plus 1 day for a written examination
Exam technique
For any qualification to be worthwhile it must be hard earned. It must give the owner a sense of achievement and pride. This does not come easy. The assessment criteria, laid down by NEBOSH, require the successful completion of a written examination at the end of the program
