What is my NEBOSH student / learner number?

New Student

A NEBOSH student / learner number will be automatically issued through the NEBOSH examination system once we have registered you on the NEBOSH platform. Registration occurs after you have booked and paid for your first examination.

Your learner number will appear on your ARC (Assessment Registration Confirmation). You will keep this number throughout your NEBOSH journey, even if you complete multiple qualifications

Existing Student

If you are an existing SHEilds student, please contact exams@sheilds.org to retrieve your student number.

What happens if I have sat an exam with another provider but would like to register my exam with SHEilds?

If you have sat an exam with a different course provider previously it is required that you enrol on the course with SHEilds first.

Once you have became a student with SHEilds and are ready to book your examination we will then be able to request that NEBOSH transfer your examination account from your previous provider to us, during the exam registration period.
