What does Gold Learning Partner mean?
RRC are delighted to have been evaluated as a NEBOSH Gold Learning Partner, the highest level in the NEBOSH Learning Partner programme.
In September 2019 NEBOSH introduced a Learning Partner Programme which recognises those Learning Partners that provide learners with the best possible learning experience. The programme categorises Learning partners based on the level at which they meet or exceed their Learning Excellence Principles.
By holding Gold Learning Partner status, RRC has demonstrated that we greatly exceed the principles in our development and delivery of our courses, as well as our customer service.
You can find our more about principles and scheme here.
How long does it take to complete the course?
This will depend on how you choose to study.
- Classroom and Live Online courses are taught over 2 weeks (10 days) plus the assessment which takes around 8 hours to complete.
- The Online course takes around 110 hours to complete plus the 8 hours for the assessment. We would expect learners to complete this course in around 4-8 months, depending on the time they allocate each week to their studies.
What is the difference between Online, Live Online, e-Learning and Distance Learning?
Live Online is delivered in real time through Zoom and is very similar to a classroom course. The tutor will deliver the course with breaks to allow time for group work, exercises and private study.
Online & e-Learning are just different words for the same thing and mean a flexible self study course delivery with tutor support you can access via email. Distance Learning means learning at a distance but is commonly used to describe the more traditional paper based study. RRC do provide the complete study text which you can download and study off line thus giving you the option of how you study the course.
What is the difference between the UK and International Construction Certificate?
The UK Certificate is based on UK legislation. The International Certificate is based on International Standards of Best Practice.
What education level is the National Construction Certificate?
The NEBOSH Health and Safety Management for Construction (UK) is a level 7 qualification (SCQF), which is the equivalent of level 5 (EQF), or to A-levels in the UK.
Is the certificate I receive the same if I study Online as when I study in the Classroom?
Yes, the Certificate is the exact same. You cannot tell the method of study from the Certificate.
What happens if I fail my assessment?
If you do not pass your assessments, you can book a resit with our exams team.
Please note you will need to pay the NEBOSH assessment fee again along with a small RRC administration fee.
You can find more advice on what to do if you're referred and the options available here, including accessing support, booking your resit and challenging your result.
Can I access past papers?
As Unit CN1 is a scenario based question paper, previous exam papers will not help you in your studies. NEBOSH do provide extensive guidance and examples on their website https://www.nebosh.org.uk/open-book-examinations/ which is very helpful in preparing for the assessments.
Am I eligible for TOTUM Pro membership?
Yes, when you study the NEBOSH Construction Certificate (UK) with RRC you are eligible to sign up for TOTUM Pro. This is a discount scheme that gives you access to exclusive discounts, offers and vouchers from hundreds of retailers. You can find out more about the scheme here.
