UNI DNI - support and general questions

Post by ivilla »

Hi all,

I realise that I have already posted a number of questions with regards the new Unit DNI of the NEBOSH Diploma, but think it may be useful to create a thread specifically to pool all questions, queries or to get any general support.

I have found it tough so far but feel I am slowly making progress. The lack of information and resources compared to the old Unit D has been a bit of a pain as I feel I am mostly going it alone. Anyway, lets use this experience to help each other going forward.

Are there many here doing Unit DNI? How are you finding it so far?

Very handy link - thanks very much. I will post if I find some good resources but, as you say, there's not much out there for DNI.

My progress is middling. I do at least now know what I'm doing; I was initially a bit blindsided as I'd prepared for Unit D and had lots of resources etc and felt completely wrong-footed to find I was in fact taking a completely different assessment. However, I'm finding writing 8,000 words purely on the management system hard to really get my teeth in.

I find I am having moments where I a pouring out tones of mostly rubbish and others where I can barely muster any thoughts. I'm currently trying to just answer the questions in the guidance and see where that takes me.

Noticed on my Nebosh results that I am registered for the Unit NDI, I've read somewhere that I can still submit under the old Unit D until November. Does anyone have any advice on whether I should sit the Unit D or Unit NDI?

Maybe a question for your provider to see what their thoughts are?

If you are on DNI then I think you have to submit DNI as the submission process is different to Unit D from what I have read. But if that is not the case, if you were to fail Unit D, you may find that you are forces down the DNI route. Which I imagine would be a nightmare.

Just phoned Nebosh, turns out all their documentation now states Unit DNI, however we have up until the November submission to submit to the old Unit D standard.
