NEBOSH Construction Certificate Open Book Exam
There are 5 key stages to the NEBOSH Construction Certificate online exam
1
Registration for the exam
Once you are registered on a Construction Certificate Course, RISK will book your exam place. Once registered to a specific Open Book Exam (OBE), NEBOSH will send you a Confirmation of Registration email that includes your learner number, and important information relating to your Construction Certificate Open Book Exam.
All delegates across the world have a 48 hour window to complete and submit their examination paper. The UK exam start date is 11.00am, so when booking a course you need to ensure you are also aware of the exam date.

Your exam portal login is issued directly by NEBOSH via email
Following receipt of your Confirmation of Registration email for your digital assessment, NEBOSH will send you a further email containing your Username and Password for the NEBOSH online examination platform.
This is issued eight days before your Open Book Exam, this is so you can check there are no issues accessing the portal - and have time to report and resolve any encountered.
This Construction Certificate Exam Portal login link is sent directly to the learner from NEBOSH, which is why it's so important that RISK have the correct details on your registration form, including direct delegate contact details. RISK (nor any other training provider) has any influence over the accessibility or technical connectivity between the delegate and their NEBOSH login. Which is why it is critical learners log on at the earliest opportunity and to familiarise themselves with the NEBOSH Open Book Exam platform. We strongly recommend learners log in, change their password and familiarise themselves with the platform well before the day of the examination.

48 hour window to complete and submit your examination paper
This exam is the same for everyone in this cohort of delegates across the world, the start time of the exam in the UK is 11.00am, for non UK delegates it's the comparable time in their country (i.e. the same 24 hours for all exam takers).
You have a 48 hour window to complete and submit your examination paper.
The new exam format is Open Book and this means you are allowed to use the internet to research answers. However, NEBOSH has a strict and rigorous approach to malpractice, plagiarism and collusion. This ensures fairness for all our learners and provides reassurance for the organisations who employ our qualification holders. You must not collude or share answers with other learners and all the work you submit must be solely your own.
Scenario based questions
The questions are based on a realistic scenario, which 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 24 hours to download, complete and submit your assessment.
As a key part of the Construction Certificate Course, RISK dedicate training to researching likely questions so you can make your own structured notes. Because the exam is Open Book, these are legitimate support tools within the exam process.
Time is also taken to simulate the types of questions, provide tactics and tools to help you develop, score and refine your answers. So when it comes to the actual exam you are as prepared as possible - not only with the knowledge to answer the questions, but in how the exams are delivered and assessed.
Your assessment will be marked by an external examiner appointed by NEBOSH.
4
Closing out interviews
RISK get access to your submitted exam papers 3 days later in preparation for closing interviews. At this point the exam hasn't been marked by NEBOSH, the purpose of this interview is to assess the work has been completed by the delegate. The aim of this interview is to ensure that the work was completed by the delegate themselves and exam scripts have not been plagiarised.

Examination results
All results for assessments taken in English should be received within 50 working days from the date of the examination.
