OPEN LEARNING | Information

We appreciate that work and personal circumstances do not always allow those wishing to develop new skills to attend a fully tutored course.

As such we have developed a range of private study and distance learning options to enable directed study towards a range of Nebosh qualifications. Study can be started at any time, with a variety of examination dates available each year.

Private Study

This option is for the most self motivated of students. The package for each course contains comprehensive handouts covering the full range of the syllabus and includes practical examples and exercises to support the theoretical study required.

In addition to the main handouts an additional key point summary of the entire syllabus is included highlighting the essential learning points for each element to support students’ study and revision. Guidance on the completion of the work based assessment, which must be completed as part of the qualification, is also provided.

This package includes:

  • Comprehensive handouts based on each Nebosh syllabus unit and element
  • Key points summary (This gives an overview of the essential learning for each element in an overview format)
  • Important definitions and abbreviations
  • Example examination questions and Self Marked Assessments
  • Guidance on examination techniques
  • Guidance on the work based assessment of the qualification
  • Online resources including downloadable podcasts

Distance Learning

Where students are able to study on their own but feel they may benefit from some direct tutor led support the distance learning provides this option.

It includes the same as the private study package plus it is supplemented by the provision of tutor marked assessments per course unit, plus tutor support by telephone and email.

This package includes:

  • Comprehensive handouts based on each Nebosh syllabus unit and element
  • Important definitions and abbreviations
  • Example examination questions, tutor marked and self marked assessments
  • Guidance on examination techniques
  • Guidance on the work based assessment of the qualification
  • Provision and marking of sample exam questions
  • Online resources including downloadable podcasts on all key topics within the syllabus
  • Provision of a comprehensive private study guide. Once completed this can be submitted for marking to provide details on any areas where additional study or clarification is required
  • Support by email and telephone for a period of 12 months from booking

The following learning hours are only an approximate guide, some delegates will take a shorter/longer amount of time and additional revision time prior to the exams should be allocated.

Revision tutorials are run prior to some examinations, these aim to cover a range of issues from the relevant syllabus, focus on examination techniques and give candidates an opportunity to do a variety of practice examination type questions. It also enables delegates to clarify any points from the syllabus which they are unsure about. Time permitting a mock assessment or examination is also used to prepare candidates for their formal examinations.

However please note that to enter for any Nebosh exam or assessment, exam registration must be made approximately 10 weeks before the examination date, for example if the exam date is the 10th of June, candidates must register with their examination centre by the 15th of April.
