I recently passed the general cert (occ S&H) credit. I have no work experinece in Health & safety. My career has been as a security Consultant (Ex Police).
I took the course out of interest and also due to the overlap with what I do in terms of carrying out security risk assessments.
I really enjoyed the course and found the exam more a test of memory. I now need to consider taking the diploma course. I am also aware that the dip 1 & 2 is being changed to a new style diploma.
For someone without work related experience, will I be able to cope with the Diploma, and if so, which one? Is it a test of memory again?
Appreciate some guidance. Kind regards, Alan
(based in Bournemouth if anyone can meet to discuss)

Hi Alan,
with that move to Man Utd I dont know why youre considering moving into H&S, but I suppose you have to think of the future.
Anyway, go for it, I passed NEBOSH Cert and NEBOSH Dip 1 first time without experience.
Got the qualifications then got a job.
Good Luck.

Alan-I live in Poole.
I did the dip 1 and dip 2 and passed both first time.
I can safely say that they are incredibly hard-part two makes part one look like a doddle.
If you are going to do dip 1-speak to Chris Beechey at Poole College.
I know all the tutors on the dip 1 course and can tell you that they are all very good. The down side to Poole college is that the hand outs that I was given were well out of date.
Call me for a natter if you like 07901 513063.
Cheers
Calum

Hi Alan, I've just done my Dip 1 with no experience, and not even having done the certificate. I didn't find it too hard, as I am lucky enough to work in a manufacturing and office environment and could put things into practice as I covered them on the course. I know some others found it a bit more difficult depending on their background, but if you get a good team on the course then it can make all the difference. If you can visit other premises and see H&S in action it will make more sense of the coursework without necessarily needing to have prior experience yourself, and will definitely help with assignments.
The exam is definitely a test of the memory. Good luck!

Before you decide give some consideration to a part time BSc(hon) in "Occupational Health and Safety Management" it gives you membership of IOSH a degree and it's a lot less money.
I would recommend Middlesex University, but I think it's a bit far for you. Try local universities
