Exam Information
June 2025 specification: GIC1 is a scenario-based open-book examination with a 24-hour download, completion and submission window, followed by a closing interview. Its provisional pass mark is 45%. GIC2 is a workplace practical risk assessment marked out of 100, with a pass mark of 60%. Both units must be passed within five years of the first successful unit result. The qualification grade is based on GIC1. The current Learning Partner guide allocates 5 assessment hours to GIC1 and 4 to GIC2; the submission window is not continuous exam working time. GIC2 guidance recommends around four hours, without a fixed completion-time limit; the qualification webpage still lists three hours.
