Important note: NEBOSH formative assessment requires all students demonstrate learning has taken
place. Students are therefore required to complete an on-line assessment. On completion of the
homework, the system will automatically generate and reveal to you the model answers to the homework.
You should check your answers against the model answers as this will give you an idea as to how well you
are progressing in your preparation for the exams. Please note that by default the system will generate a
zero score for all mock assessments.
