NEBOSH Exam Pass Rates
RISK have consistently out performed the national average pass rates for NEBOSH Certificate exam pass rates since 2015. This has continued to be the case after NEBOSH introduced open book exams for their certificate courses in October 2020.
As a result of the pandemic the NEBOSH Certificates courses could only be taught online and could ONLY be assessed via an Open Book Exam. RISK were amongst the very first companies to adopt and embrace this digital transition. The course materials, structure and learning outcomes all changed virtually overnight. Despite this RISK remain to demonstrate their approach to teaching the NEBOSH Certificate Courses continues to deliver better 'pass' results than the national average.
Whether you are on an open NEBOSH course or in-house company delivered, RISK exam pass rate is higher than the national average.

The NEBOSH Certificate Open Book Exam process introduced
The NEBOSH open book exam is unlike an invigilated paper based examination, because learners can have access to textbooks and the internet.
The difference in the questions asked, and the answers NEBOSH expect differ. The Open Book Exam (OBE) format is designed to test your ability to analyse, evaluate and apply the learning gained during your NEBOSH Certificate course.
