First debra let me say well done on your new carreer decision.

If you have the time to do 3 years then go with the degree.

It might be worth seeing if a local college can provide the nebosh cert at a cheap rate. I got mine at £200 2 years ago and now I think the course is quite expensive and going up. (hence I ultimatly want to teach heheheh)

I took the 36 week option pt evening and I do feel this is better as you have more time to absorb the huge amount of info required.

Basically just keep investing in yourself and stay with the rail companies as I believe the pay is good.

Best of luck
Jason

Hello Debra

I just wondered where you have enroled for your degree as I'm quite keen to do one myself.

I have just finished an NVQ Level 3 and didnt know whether to do Level 4 or a degree.

Any information would be appreciated.

Kind regards and best of luck
