The NEBOSH National Construction Certificate is aimed at Supervisors, Managers
and CDM co-ordinators within the construction industry who are required to
ensure that activities under their control are undertaken safely. It is likely
to prove useful for those concerned with the management of buildings who may
need to ensure that contractors are working safely. The qualification meets
the academic requirements for Associate Membership (AIOSH) of Institution
of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) and Associate membership (AIIRSM) of
the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM).

| Practical Assessment (NCC2) |
|
NCC2 is assessed by submission of a written report that is marked
by ATM Safety & Environment and moderated by NEBOSH. The practical assessment
must be carried out a site carrying out a construction activity. This site
should normally be the candidates own workplace but where this is not possible
the candidate can arrange to observe a construction activity on another site.
The NCC2 report must be submitted to ATM Safety & Environment within 10 days of the written
examinations. The practical assessment does not need to be supervised, but
must be prepared in accordance with the NEBOSH NCC2 guidance, which will be
issued to candidates on enrolment, and the candidate must sign a declaration
that the submission is their own work. |
|
| Course Fees |
| The course fee
is £400 + VAT (£480) for candidates taking all three units of the
qualification. For candidates who already have Unit NGC1 of the NEBOSH National
Certificate or the National Diploma the course fee is reduced to £300 +
VAT (£360). Exam registration fees are £105 for all 3 units (£130 for
candidates sitting outside the UK) or £63 for NCC1 & 2 only (£90 outside
the UK). Candidates outside the UK should read the “Examination Venues”
section, below. The course fee includes support for a period of 12 months, so
candidates have the choice of four exam sittings (please see “Terms
and Conditions”).
Students who sit examinations during their learning contract period but who
are referred in one or more units may re-sit the examination with ATM Safety & Environment at one
of the next two sittings (from the date when they were referred) subject to
payment of a re-sit fee and the appropriate exam registration fee.
|
|
| In-company or group courses |
| Group courses by distance learning with tutorial support can be arranged on request for
Certificate qualifications. Candidates are expected
to study the material and complete the coursework provided prior to attendance
at the tutorials, which are designed primarily to provide a revision programme
and instruction in examination technique. Tutorial programmes can be tailored
to local requirements. A local examination sitting can be arranged
at anytime of the year for these courses.
