RMS have now released brand new publications for the NEBOSH National Diploma and NEBOSH International Diploma. Each new publication is packed full of information relevant to the latest specification, including new content for each of the elements and assessment guidance.

NEBOSH is also making some minor adjustments to the assessment of its Diplomas, although the syllabus content remains the same.

Assessment changes
Applies to Diploma assessments taking place on or after 19 July 2023.

National Diploma ND unit codes will change to DN (e.g. unit DN1), and International Diploma ID unit codes will change to DI (e.g. unit DI1). This is to help distinguish between the qualification specifications.

The total marks per unit assessment will be reduced as follows:

DN1/DI1 will reduce from 550 to 300 total marks.
DN2/DI2 will reduce from 300 to 175 total marks.
DN3/DI3 will reduce from 230 to 175 total marks.

DN1/DI1 will still consist of two papers; the second paper will have one ‘combined part’ (instead of being split into parts 2, 3 and 4). Paper 1 will be 100 marks (reduced from 150 marks) and Paper 2 will be 200 marks (instead of 400 marks).

Due to the reduced total marks for each Diploma unit assessment, it will not take learners as long to complete and submit their assessments. Therefore, the expected total hours to complete and submission windows will change as follows:

DN1/DI1 will reduce from 60 to 40 hours completion time. The submission window will be reduced from 6 weeks to 4 weeks from the assessment release date.
DN2/DI2 will reduce from 40 to 20 hours completion time. The submission window will be reduced from 4 weeks to 2 weeks from the assessment release date.
DN3/DI3 will reduce from 40 hours to 20 hours completion time. The submission window will be reduced from 4 weeks to 2 weeks from the assessment release date.
