depends on a lot of factors such as budget, time available, etc. E-mail your telephone contact number and I will give you a ring and help if I can.

Got to be NEBOSH cert in construction safety.

That plus your experience should get you onto the first rung of the ladder.

Hi James my advise to you would be use your core skill in the Scaffolding Industry,yes follow the teachings of H.+S.. couple H.+S. with the osteric world of real Scaffolding,make this your specialism.Health and Safety is a life long experience.the N.E.B.O.S.H. Construction Cert is your first stepping stone to a fasinating subject.However you must have a specialism. Chase the peril of wisdom...

James,

If I were relocating to Lancaster as you are, I would save my £2400 for your NEBOSH Construction Course in the South and try going to a Carlisle based provider of NEBOSH courses, saving an awful lot of expense(around a grand). Presuming that you are providing the fees yourself, of course.
