Exams and Assessment

NEBOSH provide standard exam sittings which are conducted every three months. Some providers enrol their candidates in these exam dates in order to keep costs to a minimum and offer low prices. Unfortunately though this can mean a wait of up to three months between the conclusion of the course and taking your exams, which is a lot of time to forgot most of what you learnt at the beginning of the course. So many lost marks will normally result in a failing of one of more unit, no qualification, and the need for a further re-sit (possibly in another three months time!), and of course even more information may have been forgotten by then. So trying to save time and money has actually ended up costing you a lot more of both!

Training providers are able to pay NEBOSH for the privilege of calling exams at their own venues whenever they choose. This means that exams can be scheduled straight after the conclusion of the training. Rather than forgetting what was taught because of a long wait, candidates go into the exams with the knowledge fresh in their minds, which is vital for examination success.

This accredited NEBOSH qualification is assessed by one exam which lasts 2 hours, and a workplace-based practical assessment project. The exam is conducted in our training centres at the end of your course, and the project is completed in your own workplace. The project should take no longer than 3 hours to complete and you will have 7 days from the end of the course to return it to us by post.

If you are taking the full NEBOSH Construction Certificate course, you will also have an exam at the end of the NGC1 unit.

How are Courses Run?

All of our NEBOSH Construction Certificate classroom courses are run as full-time block weeks, Monday to Friday 9am until approximately 5pm. In our many years of experience we have consistently found that full-time block courses with exams scheduled straight after equates to a significantly improved likelihood of delegates passing all of the assessments required for actually achieving the qualification.

Unlike online or distance learning courses, having a course tutor present in the room, able to answer questions there and then, provides a significant benefit and is a key component of achieving high pass rates.

Scheduled Open Courses

At the BCF Group, we offer the NEBOSH Construction Certificate in two ways: the full course and a conversion course. The full NEBOSH Construction Certificate course contains the mandatory NGC1 unit, which is the same unit that is taught in the NEBOSH General Certificate syllabus. This means that if you have already taken and passed the NEBOSH General Certificate in the last five years, you don't need to repeat this NGC1 unit. Candidates in this position can take the NEBOSH Construction Certificate conversion course which does not repeat this unit and so is both shorter in duration and less expensive than the full course.

The certificate achieved at the end of both courses is the same, i.e. the official NEBOSH National Certificate in Construction Health & Safety Certificate; it just means that thanks to the modular make-up of the qualifications those who have already achieved the NGC1 unit do not have to do it all again!

There are no hidden extras to pay on top of our health and safety training course prices, unlike other providers who charge extra for things like study books and exam fees. Our NEBOSH Construction Certificate courses have the following included in the course cost:

• 624-page NEBOSH Construction Certificate Study Book
• NEBOSH Exam Fees
• NEBOSH Certificate Fees
• Lunchtime Buffet
• Refreshments Throughout The Day
• Free All-Day Car Parking **

** Except London (Barbican) venue. NCP car park nearby.

Full Course Dates

The full course includes the mandatory NGC1 unit and exam. Those who have already achieved the NGC1 unit within the last five years are eligible to do the Conversion Course (see further down).
