Summary: A student contacted me last week with a NEBOSH "unsatisfactory closing interview" notice. This complete guide walks you through exactly what happened, why it happened, and step-by-step solutions. Includes real emails and a ready-to-use response template.

The Panic Call I Received

It was Tuesday morning when I got a frantic call: "Rehan Sir, NEBOSH has withheld my results! They're investigating me for malpractice in the closing interview!" The student's voice was shaking - he had just received the email you see below:

Actual NEBOSH email received by student - "Your closing interview was unsatisfactory"

Why This Happens: Beyond Malpractice

After talking to the student for 30 minutes, I discovered the real story:

The Interview Breakdown

"Sir, the interviewer asked me 4-5 questions about points in my paper, then for each point asked 'Why are these important?' I knew the answers but my body was shaking so badly that I probably sounded like I was reading from a script."

Professional Response Template

Subject: Response to Allegation - Reference: [M# Reference] - Learner: [Your Number] Dear NEBOSH Ethical Practice Team, I am writing regarding your letter dated [Date] about my NEBOSH [Qualification Name] closing interview. I acknowledge the concern about my interview appearing unsatisfactory. I want to assure you that all submitted work is entirely my own. During the interview, I experienced significant nervousness which affected my communication. Physical anxiety (shaking, rapid speech) may have made me appear rehearsed, though I was only attempting to explain my own work from memory. The questions asked about specific points in my paper and their importance were challenging under stress. I now realize my responses may have sounded scripted due to anxiety, not because I was reading prepared answers. To support my statement, I can provide: - Draft versions of my project - Research notes and references - Correspondence with my learning partner I respectfully request consideration of my genuine effort and the impact of interview anxiety. Integrity in HSE practice is paramount to me. Thank you for your understanding. Sincerely, [Your Full Name] NEBOSH Learner: [Number] Contact: [Phone/Email]

💡 Pro Tip from 5+ Years Experience: Always mention your willingness to provide additional evidence. This shows cooperation and confidence in your work's authenticity.

Expert Advice: How to Avoid This Situation

From 5+ years of NEBOSH support experience:

1. Practice "Why" Questions: For every point in your submission, prepare to explain WHY it's important
2. Mock Interviews: Do practice interviews with someone who will challenge you
3. Manage Nerves: Deep breathing, water nearby, remember it's a conversation
4. Be Authentic: It's okay to say "I need a moment to think" rather than reciting memorized answers
5. Keep Evidence: Always save drafts, notes, and research materials
