Posted By Kerry Hooper Hi all, I have just got out of the British Army and am a bit stuck. I have just found out I passed the NEBOSH general certificate that I took in Feb. I passed with a distinction. Which I was really pleased with. My question to all you experienced H&S gurus out there is what shall I do now? I have about 10 years worth of H&S experience in the Army but not sure what that equates to in the civilian world. Any hints, tips would be greatly received. K Hooper.

Posted By MP Grayson Congratulations on your result. My tips are: 1. Diploma! 2. Remember the days when you gave a squaddie, gunner, sailor, airman etc a simple job to do. And it got done. Get used to the fact that those days are in the past. 3. Diploma! 4. Sort your enhanced learning credits out. They are a great asset. 5. Diploma! 6. Don't expect too much at once. You can have all of the qualifications in the world. But without full-on experience, it ain't worth diddly-squat. I, like you had years of experience dealing with H/S in the forces. But it was all as a secondary duty. Don't discount it, get it all on your CV. But be ready to work at getting that first three years full time experience. 7. Diploma! 8. Oh, did I mention doing the Diploma. Best of luck. Must crack on.
