How is this Course Assessed?

Unit EC1 is a taught unit assessed by a two-hour written examination. The examination consists of ten ‘short-answer’ questions and one ‘long-answer’ question. All questions are compulsory. Candidate scripts are marked by external examiners appointed by NEBOSH.

Unit EC2 requires the candidate to carry out an environmental review of a workplace or organisation and produce a justified action plan to improve performance. This practical application must be completed and returned to the course provider by a date determined by them and normally within 10 working day of the exam.

  • The eight-hour assessment comprises of an open book exam (Unit EMC1) and assessed assignment (Unit EMC2). 
  • In the five-hour exam, you respond to a scenario and answer theoretical and practical questions covered in the NEBOSH Environmental Management Certificate course content.
  • The three-hour assignment asks you to assess environmental aspects and impacts in your workplace or a place of work you can visit.

You’re assessed based on your ability to demonstrate awareness of environmental issues, plus recognise, explain, discuss and plan strategies to manage environmental factors, creating positive ethical and fiscal outcomes, that benefit your business.

“We know assessments can be challenging, but our expert training team will be on hand to support you with any concerns and make sure you are ready to sit the assessment.

Don’t worry – we’ll make sure you have everything you need!” – Stuart Davies, Managing Director at TSW Training

Very applicable to my current work environment and looking forward in making use of the course going forward within my career

good
Luke P October 27, 2023
Chris had a calm approach which made the learning for me easier, he explained each point so that I could understand the content of the course. Overall I learned so much more about the environment and how I can implement change to reducing our environmental impact
Alexander N August 7, 2023
As usual with RRC materials, way too many slides that are a repetition of the book and very wordy. These should be reviewed and enhancements made where possible using other sources. There was a distinct lack of different teaching/training methods used. The entire course consisted of showing and reading from the slides. No use of videos, group work or other methods of teaching. Some attempt at utilising example exam questions was as far as it went. The additional resource materials handed out by the trainer were poor. The previous exam paper that had been scanned was upside down so pretty useless unless printed, hardly a good example of positive environmental practice. The crib sheets for finding places in the book were badly formatted and not much use. Unfortunate that the feedback system (which I like!) won't allow you to give anonymous feedback as some don't like leaving their name.

Fantastic trainer, Chris improved my understanding of the course material by explaining in other words and giving relevant examples
