THE EXAM
AN OPEN BOOK
CHALLENGE
Open book exams (OBE) are a step
change for NEBOSH which, until the
COVID-19 lockdown, would usually
ask you to attend a two hour
invigilated exam to get your
qualification.
If you've avoided the NEBOSH General Certificate
because you fall to pieces in exams, the open book
assessment lets you work in a familiar environment,
taking the edge off your nerves.
You have more time to formulate your answers and
deepen your situation-specific understanding of
NEBOSH principles.
If you started training pre-lockdown, or you've been
stopped from sitting the exam due to social distancing
risks, the open book exam prevents further delays
