How does NEBOSH set the passing marks for each assessment?

<p>NEBOSH ensures that its qualifications meet and maintain high standards over time. Assessments are criterion-referenced and awarded on a pass/refer basis, meaning learners who meet the required standard pass. Each assessment has its own pass mark. For fixed assessments like the General Certificate practical, the pass mark remains constant. For variable assessments like open-book exams, pass marks are set through a formal process called awarding. This process involves reviewing statistics, examiner feedback, learner scripts, and past standards to ensure fairness and consistency. Adjustments account for differences between assessments, maintaining fairness for learners and ensuring qualifications are valued by employers.</p>
