Assessment
To achieve the National General Certificate requires the successful completion of three formal examinations; two traditional written question papers and one practical workplace assessment which will all be taken here at The Mount School. Success in each examination will be recognised by the issue of a single credit. When all three credits have been gained you will receive your NEBOSH National General Certificate and you have five years in which to complete the challenge.
We won’t leave you stranded when it comes to the final test. Throughout the programme our trainers will help you to prepare for the examination by developing your question reading and answering technique. This attention to the finer detail of the examination ensures that most of our candidates pass first time.
