The NEBOSH Environmental Certificate consists of two units, each separately assessed. Candidates may choose to take one or both of the units at the same time or at different times, subject to the timescales outlined in this guide.
Unit EC1: Management and control of environmental hazards
Unit EC2: Environmental practical application
For candidates planning to take both units together, Unit EC2 is not normally offered independently of the taught unit (Unit EC1). Candidates will normally be required to complete the 2 assessments within 10 working days of sitting the examination for Unit EC1, on a date to be agreed with their accredited course provider.
NEBOSH applies best practice in relation to assessment setting and marking. NEBOSH uses external assessment for written examinations and assignments: scripts are sent to NEBOSH and undergo rigorous marking, checking and results determination processes to ensure accuracy and consistency.
