Compassa, a leading provider of online health and safety training, has announced an impressive 88% pass rate for the NEBOSH National General Certificate.
The 88% pass rate was achieved with the NEBOSH National General Certificate (NG1) Open Book Exam in January 2025. This continued success reinforces the effectiveness of Compassa’s innovative online learning approach.
Since launching the course in October 2022, Compassa’s overall NG1 pass rate has risen to 89%, significantly higher than the national average. This remarkable achievement highlights the impact of Compassa’s engaging and interactive training methods, which continue to outperform traditional classroom-based learning.
Why the NEBOSH NGC Matters
The NEBOSH National General Certificate is a widely recognised qualification in occupational health and safety. It serves as a crucial stepping stone for individuals looking to enter industries such as construction, manufacturing, logistics, and public services.
For Armed Forces personnel transitioning to civilian careers, the course provides essential knowledge in risk management, hazard assessment, and workplace safety systems—skills that align closely with military experience in high-pressure environments.
NEBOSH Made Fun!
Compassa’s online NEBOSH courses are designed to engage and educate learners far beyond the traditional PowerPoint-heavy classroom approach. Their method incorporates interactive video tutorials, graded mock exams by former NEBOSH examiners, and optional live masterclasses, allowing students to fully understand and apply health and safety concepts.
Will Taylor, founder of Compassa and a former NEBOSH examiner, attributes the increasing pass rates to continuous improvements in their exam preparation strategies:
"Our increasing pass rates for our online version of the NEBOSH National General Certificate are a testament to the regular improvements we make to our exam preparation process. I think we have fundamentally proven that online NEBOSH courses can be more effective than a traditional classroom PowerPoint course. Plus, the humour helps!"
Student Feedback
Compassa’s unique approach has resonated strongly with students, who appreciate the engaging and supportive nature of the course. Del Pearce, a recent student, left this glowing review on Google:
"Fantastic course, really enjoyable. A fun course with lots of laughs on the way while maintaining the importance of what you are learning about. A lot of hints and tips along the way that will definitely help you pass this course (as I did!). Cannot recommend this course highly enough."
This positive feedback reflects how Compassa’s training style makes learning more engaging, memorable, and effective for students.
