Hi
I have read a couple of threads with interest regarding training. i would like to present health and safety courses and am NEBOSH qualified up to diploma level 1.
can anyone give me advice if I need to go down a formal training qualification route. i have experience in my present role of delivering short tool box talks and safety briefings to staff at all levels and get good feedback.
Any help would be gratefully received.
regards

Hi Ian,
I am a H&S Trainer and I have found that almost all potential employers will require a formal teaching qualification.
The C&G adult and further education teaching certificate is generally accepted as the required level.
Most colleges of further education deliver this course either as a block, day release or night class.
Hope this helps
Chris

Try a Google on 'Train the trainer'. Some can a bit expensive thought - £1000 for a three day course. Shop around.
Good luck

Trouble with these train the trainer courses is lack of credibility.
For me, I want to see either C&G or CIEH

It will be worthwhile contacting a local college and ask about the Certificate in Education. This maybe paid for by the local authority even if in full time employment

Hi
as a trainer I would advise the City & Guilds Cert Ed. route, you can get funding from your local County Council along with a grant if you need it.
Why Cert Ed. it will allow you to teach in a College which is a nice source of extra income.
The CIEH Professional trainer certificate is good and is accepted by many as sufficient knowledge to train, I fail to understand how 3 days negates the 3 years a P.G.C.E. City & Guilds course takes.
If you like to find 3 other candidates I'll put you through for £300 each, now there's an offer.
Regards
Chris

Hi,
I took the CIPD Learning and Development -Level 3, over one year, and was conducting training courses whilst completing it.
Never seen the CIPD qualification mentioned on here though! There must be lots of ways of getting trainer qualified.

Please see my response to Alice Clark - it is tough and not an easy option. My main point is for you to critically anyalyse yourself - ask yourself do I have the breadth of experience to impart knowledge to other people? - am I able to answer their questions? I have been training for over 10 years and it is very hard going - if you are ok you get repeat work - if not you wont. Simple as that!!! Also again like Alice you are newly qualified - ask yourself who was my best tutor? why? Could I be as good as them. Sure you say we all have to start somewhere but be realistic- go and do some safety work, get some experience you can draw on as thats what brings courses - a potentially very boring course - alive. If you want a chat - mail me.
