Once booking is confirmed test centre date and time slot details will get shared to you within 12-24 hours.

For those who prefer a traditional exam environment over a remote online setup, the ECS Health, Safety & Environmental (HS&E) Assessment can be taken at an authorized Physical Test Centre.

This option is ideal for candidates who may not have the required computer equipment at home or who prefer the focus of a supervised, professional exam room.

What to Expect at an Offline Test Centre

Taking your assessment at a physical center provides a structured environment where all technical requirements (computers, webcams, and software) are managed for you.

Arrival: You are advised to arrive at least 15 minutes early to allow for registration and ID verification.
The Environment: You will be assigned a dedicated computer terminal in a quiet, invigilated room.
The Exam: You will have 30 minutes to answer 50 multiple-choice questions.
Instant Results: In most cases, you will receive your pass/fail result immediately upon finishing the test.

Mandatory Requirements for Your Visit

To be allowed entry into the assessment room, you must comply with the following:

1. Valid Photo ID

You must bring a physical, original piece of government-issued photo ID. Digital copies or photos on a phone will not be accepted.

Accepted ID: Current Passport or UK Photo Driving Licence.

2. Closed-Book Policy

The assessment is a closed-book exam. You are not permitted to bring:

Revision guides or notes.
Mobile phones, smartwatches, or tablets (these must be switched off and stored in provided lockers).
Calculators (not required for this test).

Non-Refundable Fee Notice:-

The assessment fee is Non-Refundable. If you fail to attend your appointment (“No-Show”) or arrive without a valid Photo ID, you will forfeit your fee and will need to pay again to rebook.

Cost: £99 (standard rate).
Validity: Once passed, the assessment is valid for 2years (24 months).
Retakes: If you fail, you can rebook as many times as needed, but the full fee applies to every attempt.

Tips for Success

Revise in Advance: Do not wait until you get to the center. Study the revision guide for at least 10 days prior.
Double Check Your ID: Ensure your ID is in date; an expired passport will result in a refusal of entry.
Stay Calm: The questions are randomly selected. If you get stuck, move on and come back to that question at the end.
