Assessments and Reasonable Adjustments:
Scope and meaning of 'Reasonable Adjustments':
Reasonable adjustments are agreed to before an assessment takes place. The Equality Act 2010 requires NEBOSH to make reasonable adjustments where a candidate, who is disabled, would be at a substantial disadvantage in comparison to someone who is not disabled. Section 6 of the Equality Act defines disability as a 'physical or mental impairment which has a substantial effect on someone's ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities'. NEBOSH is required to take reasonable steps to overcome that disadvantage. An example would be a Braille paper, which would be a reasonable adjustment for a visually impaired person who could read Braille.
1. A reasonable adjustment may be unique to an individual and what is appropriate for one individual may not be suitable for another individual.
2. The application of a reasonable adjustment will depend on a number of factors that will include the learning needs of the candidate, the effectiveness of the adjustment, its cost and its likely impact on the candidate and other candidates.
3. An adjustment will not be approved if it involves unreasonable costs, timeframes or affects the security or integrity of the assessment. This is because the adjustment is not "reasonable".
4. Reasonable adjustments must not give the candidate an unfair advantage over other candidates carrying out the same or similar assessment.
5. Some adjustments may not be possible for some qualifications. For example, it is not possible to adjust the assessment standards, where to do so, would mean that the outcome did not provide a reliable indicator of the knowledge, skills and understanding of the candidate.
6. Adjustments must not put in jeopardy the health and well-being of the candidate or any other person
Registration for NEBOSH Assessments:
1. It is Your responsibility to ensure You have registered for the appropriate examination, date and venue. Nviron Consulting cannot be held responsible for mistakes in exam registration.
2. Nviron Consulting assessment closing dates are set independently of the Awarding Body.
3. For assessment registrations received after Nviron Consulting closing date, Nviron Consulting reserves the right to refuse acceptance of your application.
4. Where Nviron Consulting accepts late assessment registrations, an additional charge will apply.
5. You have the right to apply for reasonable adjustment should you feel You will be at a disadvantage during Your Assessment.
6. Your application for reasonable adjustment must be accompanied by substantiated evidence of Your disadvantage.
7. Your application for reasonable adjustment must be sent to: info@nviron.in Also the request must be received by Nviron Consulting prior to your selected examination registration closing date.
8. Additional charges may be incurred by you for the implementation of reasonable adjustments.
9. Refund of fees will be made in respect of canceled registrations only where corroborated by a medical certificate or doctor’s note relating to the inability of the candidate to sit the examination(s) due to illness. In such cases the fee will be refunded less a deduction of 40% to cover administration costs.
10. Refunds will not be made in respect of any additional costs incurred by the candidate. All claims for refunds must be made no later than one calendar month following the examination(s).
11. Fees and registrations are not transferable to alternative examinations or later examination sittings, or between candidates.
