How to Prepare for NEBOSH IGC – Free Sample from My Book
If you are a safety professional or student planning to take the NEBOSH International General Certificate (IGC) in Occupational Health and Safety, then you already know it’s not just any exam—it’s a globally recognized qualification that opens doors in the oil & gas, construction, manufacturing, and many other high-risk industries.
In this article, I will guide you step-by-step on how to effectively prepare for the NEBOSH IGC. Plus, I’ve included a free downloadable sample from my NEBOSH IGC eBook to help you get started with confidence.
What Is NEBOSH IGC?
The NEBOSH International General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety is designed for individuals seeking a career in health and safety or looking to upgrade their credentials. It consists of two units:
- IG1: Management of Health and Safety
- IG2: Risk Assessment (Practical Application)
Passing both units qualifies you for career opportunities around the world, especially in the Middle East and Gulf countries.
Why Many Students Fail the NEBOSH IGC
Before we talk about how to succeed, let’s understand the common reasons for failure:
- Memorizing answers without understanding concepts
- Ignoring the IG2 Risk Assessment (50% of the total score!)
- Studying outdated material
- Not practicing real exam-style questions
That’s why preparation with the right material is absolutely critical.
5-Step Plan to Prepare for NEBOSH IGC
1. Understand the NEBOSH Syllabus
Familiarize yourself with the latest 2025 syllabus. Know the key topics under IG1 and what’s expected in IG2. My eBook covers every element in detail, following the official guide.
2. Follow a Study Schedule
Set weekly targets. Divide the syllabus into manageable chunks. Allocate time for reading, revision, and solving practice questions.
3. Use Solved Papers for IG1
The best way to prepare for IG1 is by practicing with real, solved NEBOSH question papers. My eBook includes solved papers for:
- March 2025
- April 2025
- May 2025
Each with sample full-mark answers based on NEBOSH’s open book exam format.
4. Practice Risk Assessment for IG2
Many students ignore this part or copy templates. This is a mistake. You must understand how to:
- Identify hazards
- Assess risks
- Recommend realistic control measures
- Write justifications
My eBook gives you 3 full IG2 risk assessments based on real scenarios (Construction, Oil & Gas, Manufacturing).
5. Learn from a Safety Professional
Theory is one thing—but practical guidance makes all the difference. My NEBOSH eBook is not just theory. It’s based on real-world experience, practical insight, and actual NEBOSH exam structure.
