IG2 PRACTICAL EXAMINATION

IG2 is a practical risk assessment that assesses what you can do. It is marked by external examiners appointed by NEBOSH. These examiners are chosen for their experience and expertise to ensure that learners are assessed by the best from our industry.

EXAMINATION RESULTS

As part of the qualification’s assessment requirements, you are mandated to complete a Virtual Closing Interview before your result is released. All results for assessments taken in English (including those for the practical application) should be received within 40 working days from the date of the examination or submission of assignment. The specific date is written on your examination entry confirmation.

Your qualification grade is based only on the result from the question paper (Unit IG1). But you need to achieve a ‘Pass’ in both units (Unit IG1 and IG2) before the parchment can be issued. The grading boundaries are as follows:

The qualification grade is based on the result from Unit IG1 as follows:

Distinction:    75 marks or higher

Credit:    65 - 74 marks

Pass:    45 - 64 marks

When you have completed both units, you are normally considered to have completed the whole qualification. You will then receive a qualification parchment within 40 working days of your final successful unit. You will only receive individual Unit certificates at an additional cost on written request to Nebosh. Result declaration is made within 50 working days of the date of the examination. The certificates are issued within 40 working days of the result declaration date.

  • you achieved a ‘Pass’ in a unit that is five or more years old, and you need it to achieve the qualification;
  • you are ‘Referred’ (i.e., don’t pass); or
  • you want to retake a Unit to get a higher grade.
