Assessments:

The new specification is assessed with remote project-based assessments that are completed gradually. Each assessment paper will state on the first page how long you will have to complete the assessment and this will range from approximately 2 weeks (or 10 working days) to 4 weeks (or 20 working days).

• Unit DN1 contains a scenario-based question paper, and a paper containing reflective tasks to be completed within your workplace and a short research project.
• Unit DN2 is a scenario-based question paper that will focus on the control of health issues within the workplace.
• Unit DN3 is a scenario-based question paper that will focus on controlling workplace safety issues.
  The assessments are held twice a year and accessed and submitted online.

Once you have successfully completed all three units, you will have achieved this qualification. Typically learners will take this course one unit at a time over a period of three years in order to study while maintaining work commitments.

Requirements for taking this course:

It is strongly recommended by ACT and NEBOSH that learners have completed a NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety, an equivalent qualification to this (such as an NVQ Level 3), or have a very strong foundation of relevant workplace knowledge on which to build their diploma.

This is because the course is delivered with the assumption that you already hold a knowledge of health and safety equivalent to the National General Certificate.

Standard of English Language:

In order to undertake this course, you must have a suitable understanding of written English language that will allow you to understand the course materials, and answer the question papers.

The recommended standard of English is an International English Language Testing score of 7.0 or higher.

If you are unsure as to whether this qualification is suitable for you, if you have any questions regarding prior learning or language requirements, please contact our course advisors:
