Assessment
This course has two separate assessments:

The OBE will assess how the individual can apply their knowledge of fire safety to a scenario set by NEBOSH. Being an open book exam, you are able to use your course notes, revision materials and the internet to research during the assessment.
The exam should take between 5 and 9 hours to complete over the course of the 24-hour period.
A work-based risk assessment
The work-based risk assessment FSC2 is completed in person at suitable premises that you have permission to risk assess (whether your own workplace or other). The practical risk assessment will assess your understanding of how to apply the knowledge gained within the course to a real-life workplace.
The risk assessment should take around 4 hours to complete.
