Turning a NEBOSH GNC2 Risk Assessment Referral into Success: A Step-by-Step Guide
Don’t stress, a NEBOSH GNC2 Risk Assessment Referral indicates you did not meet the pass standard. Nevertheless, you must stay resilient. This guide will help you book your resubmission, access preparation resources, and appeal if necessary.
Understanding Your GNC2 Assessment Results
Typically, NEBOSH will email your results within 60 days of your submission date. If you pass the NEBOSH GNC2, you will receive a ‘pass’. If you fail the GNC2, you will receive a ‘refer’, along with a marks-per-item summary which shows how your submission performed against each assessment criterion. This allows you to identify the specific areas where the required standard was not met and therefore revise and improve your risk assessment before resubmission.
What To Do Next?
Therefore, areas not met on a NEBOSH GNC2 referral can be revised, and your risk assessment can be resubmitted. NEBOSH does not provide a marked assessment, so you must interpret your feedback and adjust accordingly. For instance, if feedback suggests inadequate control measures you should do your research and incorporate stronger controls to improve. Consequently, your understanding of risk assessment principles will be strengthened. When the pass standard for the NEBOSH GNC2 is not met, you have two options moving forward. Option 1 involves a remark while Option 2 is a resubmission.
Option 1 – Remark
If you believe you have been assessed unfairly and that you have met all the criteria for each section of your Risk Assessment, you can apply for a remark of your paper; this is called an Enquiry About Result (EAR).
By submitting an Enquiry About Result (EAR) to NEBOSH, you can challenge your result through two types of enquiries. The first involves a check of your scripts, including the practical assessment, assignment, and project, while the second enquiry is a re-evaluation.
Enquiry Type 1: This type of remark is requested to check the accuracy of the marking on all your submitted work. The fee is £20 per unit but is subject to annual increase. Results are provided within 10 working days, though grade changes are rare.
It confirms that the marks awarded for each question have been added correctly to produce the final total.
Enquiry Type 2: This remark is carried out by a NEBOSH-appointed Team Leader or NEBOSH specialist. The fee is £126 (although subject to annual price increase), and the result is normally provided within 40 working days after the Enquiry About Result (EAR) application deadline. Whereas the request must be submitted within 20 working days of the published results date.
An example being if the original marker’s subjective interpretation has overlooked key points. A remark could result in a revised assessment that provides a more accurate evaluation of your performance.
Outcome Of Your Remark
The outcomes of the NEBOSH Enquiry About Result (EAR) do not guarantee an upward adjustment of marks or grades. It is crucial to understand that marks or grades may also be lowered, or they may remain unchanged.
Importantly, NEBOSH EAR applications, including payment, must be submitted on or before the EAR closing date. The EAR fee will be refunded if an EAR outcome is successful, and you are upgraded to a pass. Ensure to submit your EAR within 20 working days from the release date of your results.
Option 2 – Resubmission
Otherwise, you can choose to book a resubmission after receiving a NEBOSH GNC2 referral. You do not have to submit immediately; however, you must ensure you meet the registration and submission deadlines for the assessment window you intend to enter.
One advantage of resubmitting is that you can amend your original GNC2 submission where you did not meet the criteria. Alternatively, you can conduct a new risk assessment in a different area within your place of work. A NEBOSH specialist will mark your resubmission, and results are typically provided within 50 working days of the NEBOSH assessment closing date.
Your NEBOSH administrator at Project Skills Solutions will provide resubmission booking dates. Registration and fees will cost £140.00+VAT (subject to annual price increase).
NEBOSH GNC2 Success Tips: How Can You Prepare to Pass?
NEBOSH Examiners should be informed that you are resubmitting your risk assessment for a second review. To ensure your success, it is advised to review your entire assessment against the official NEBOSH Guidance and information for Learners and Learning Partners document before resubmitting.
While you can amend areas where you did not receive full marks, the whole assessment will be remarked, and focusing only on those sections may inadvertently affect other criteria. The NEBOSH resource guide document is your go-to resource for NEBOSH certification assistance, as it provides essential insights into the evaluation criteria.
