The qualification will take 12 days to complete.
Aligned to CDM regulations, the qualification is guided by legislation but focused on best practice. The broad syllabus includes:

Learners will be assessed through a practical assessment developed for this practical role.
The assessment is a digital assessment based on a realistic scenario that will test both what you know and what you can do. You will be asked to carry out a series of tasks using evidence from the scenario and the underpinning knowledge gained through your studies and revision. You will have 48 hours to download, complete and submit your assessment.
Your assessment will be marked by an external examiner appointed by NEBOSH. The examiners are chosen for their experience and expertise to ensure that learners are assessed by the very best from our industry.
