| Practical Assessment |
| IGC3 is assessed by submission of a written report that is
marked by ATM Safety & Environment and moderated by NEBOSH. This IGC3
report must be submitted to ATM Safety & Environment within 10 days of the written examinations,
and must be carried out in the candidates own workplace or other suitable
location. The practical assessment does not need to be supervised, but must be
prepared in accordance with the NEBOSH IGC3 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 is applicable if resident in
