Posted By Andrew Kelleher Hi everyone I am looking for a bit of advice. I am considering attending a CDM coordinator course (certified by the National Construction College) in view of supplementing my Nottingham and Trent Uni Diploma/NEBOSH general cert. Unfortunately I do not have a great deal of construction experience, and was wondering whether attending this course would improve my chances of breaking into the construction area. Thanx Andy

Posted By davidb2959 Andy I have no experience in construction either, I have also completed the NEBOSH Construction Certificate (CDM 2007) so I am having to work for free at the momet for a large Construction Company to gain experience. Even then, nothing is guaranteed. Recruitment Agencies have so many clients to choose from, just to get an interview is a blessing. All the best in your quest David

Posted By graeme12345 spend your money on the const. cert. The best experience for const safety personnel is to have come from a trade background. If you want construction safety experience don't do the safety guts job get a job as a labourer. HTH's
