Project Summary

"NEBOSH was a traditional paper-based, live-invigilated, closed-book assessment examination board, with no digital assessments. The pandemic stopped our assessments across the world overnight. Our core objective is to ensure workers have the skills, knowledge and understanding to make workplaces safer: we were determined to keep the learner journey going for every learner, everywhere in the world.

We engaged a new e-learning partner (Open LMS) and redesigned our traditional assessments in line with our Regulator’s principles and our charitable aims. We kept our Learning Partners and learners informed and involved them where we could.

We recognise the benefits of eAssessments for everyone. They not only saved our organisation and our Learning Partners’ livelihoods, they have also increased our global reach to learners who previously did not have access to an examination venue due to their geographical location.

Challenges in accommodating learners from all time zones have been met and we have grown considerably in our registrations for our core certificates, especially in India and the Middle East.

We are not stopping with this project either, our aim is to convert existing qualifications and all new ones so we become a predominantly eAssessment organisation."
