Assessments

We’ve developed a practical assessment for this practical role.

The assessment is an open book examination (OBE), which will be based on a realistic scenario, that will test both what you know and what you can do.

You will be asked to carry out a series of tasks using evidence from the scenario and the underpinning knowledge gained through your studies and revision.

You will have 48 hours to download, complete and submit your assessment.

Your assessment will be marked by an external examiner appointed by NEBOSH. These examiners are chosen for their experience and expertise to ensure that learners are assessed by the very best from our industry.

The course is ideal for:

• Construction site managers
• Contracts managers
• Site workers with health and safety responsibilities
• Construction health and safety advisors

It also makes excellent continued professional development (CPD) for health and safety professionals working in other industries or looking to move into construction.

There are no pre-course requirements but learners must be able to speak / write to an acceptable level of English

Learners will be better able to influence their on-site colleagues to work more safely; because they will gain the confidence and technical know-how to challenge unsafe behaviours and offer practical solutions.

Many people who have passed the NEBOSH Health and Safety Management for Construction (UK) progress to studying the NEBOSH National Diploma, which is a degree-level qualification.
