Classroom/Virtual Study Hours

The National General Certificate will involve a minimum of 66 taught hours and approximately 40 hours of private study and background reading.

Fast-track learners can complete the qualification in 10 working days, but many learners prefer the course spread further apart to allow for ample reading and revision between elements.

E-Learning Study Hours

NEBOSH emphasises that e-learning is self‑paced, and the duration may vary. You should allow between 80 and 120 hours for this mode of study.

Yes. NEBOSH allows resits for referred units.

You will arrange any resits with our dedicated admin team, only if you have received a referred result.

The NEBOSH Certificate qualifications do not expire.

Your certificate remains valid for life once you pass the exam and risk assessment.

The NEBOSH National General Certificate is a Level 6 in the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF).

That’s comparable to an RQF/CQFW Level 3 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

In simple terms, that makes it equivalent to an A-level standard qualification.

Your course materials and books are included in your course fees.

You don’t need to do anything to get your course materials;

• for virtual courses, we’ll post them to you before your start date
• for classroom courses, we’ll have them ready for you on day one

If you’d like to do wider reading, ensure it’s relevant to the current syllabus. You can run any books and materials past your trainer and they will make sure they are supporting your studies.

Since NEBOSH introduced the open-book examinations in 2020, the national average pass rate has risen from approx. 50% to 57%.

However, you could drastically improve your chances of passing by getting us on your side. Our NEBOSH gold partner status means we have reached the highest standards in delivering occupational health and safety training courses.

Following the 2026 updates:

• GNC1 (former NG1): 24‑hour scenario‑based open‑book assessment – 45 and above is enough for a pass
• GNC2 (former NG2): Practical risk assessment – 60% pass mark

Both are submitted via the NEBOSH Assessment Platform, and results are issued 60 working days after the GNC1 assessment.

• GNC1: 24‑hour open‑book assessment window
• GNC2: Practical risk assessment submitted within 10 working days after GNC1

All formats cover the same NEBOSH syllabus and qualification standards, but the learning experience varies:

Classroom

• Face‑to‑face teaching, structured days, peer discussion.

Live Online

• Real‑time instructor-led sessions without travel.

E-learning

• Fully flexible, self‑paced learning with digital resources.

NEBOSH emphasises that all learning must be delivered by accredited Learning Partners, but the learner may choose their preferred format.

Financial aid choices and adaptable payment schedules can be accessed from different outlets, such as government grants, charitable funds, and interest-free payment arrangements, to assist in funding the course.
