 ▪ Face-to-Face format:

Upon enrollment for in-person classes, we will communicate the venue and schedule with you
through email. Further changes in any kind of pre-planned schedule or venue will be
communicated to you. (if any)

Classes are mainly divided into two main categories

➢ Lectures
➢ Mocks

➢ Classes
It is mandatory for the learner to arrive at the designated venue 15 minutes prior to the
scheduled time on the first day of class. The distribution of hard copies of the books and
signatures on the student-learner agreement, if not previously completed during
registration, will take place during this time.

The training program is a two-week course that comprises lectures, videos, discussions,
activities, assignments, and professional experience sharing among the trainers and the
delegates. The learners will also have access to an E-learning portal to take quizzes and
tests.

Throughout the training period, a team of expert tutors will guide the delegates to ensure
the successful delivery of the training. Additionally, a mentor will be available to provide
support for the course content and assessment preparation throughout the study.

➢ Mocks
Upon completion of the initial two weeks of the NEBOSH IGC and EMC courses, it is
mandatory for students to attend the subsequent two weeks of Mocks/Drills sessions. The
purpose of these sessions is to familiarize learners with the Open Book Exams (OBE)
format, which may be unfamiliar to many.
During the mock sessions, learners will be provided with 2 to 4 past question papers to
attempt. Following each OBE, learners will have the opportunity to discuss their
responses with a tutor who will provide guidance on answer structure and format. The
tutor will also advise learners on the most suitable format for each type of question and
provide feedback on areas in which the student's examination approach requires
improvement. Upon completion of 2 to 4 past papers, learners will be well-acquainted
with the examination pattern. However, to be eligible to sit for the examination, students
must submit at least one fully completed mock and perform well in it. Failure to meet this
requirement will preclude them from sitting for the examination.
In addition, learners will be allowed to visit one of their chosen sites during the mock
classes to prepare for their IG2 assessment. Tutors will provide guidance on the criteria
for successfully passing the IG2 assessment. It is worth noting, however, that while the
tutor will offer guidance, they will not be held liable for a student's failure to meet the
examination's passing criteria.
