Posted By david pennington After just recently completing both the NEBOSH NGC AND NCC and successfully passing both, I have also completed the NVQ Level 4 in occupational health and safety practise. Would it be worth me now moving onto the NEBOSH diploma ? or taking a degree in something relative to health and safety, obviously it would have to be through open university, any suggestions ?

Posted By jmc Hi David I am near completion of my svq4 and my intentions are to enroll on an environmental course. (not sure what one yet) I feel this would be advantageous as more & more employers are looking for environmental experience & members of IEMA. There after my intentions would to look at completing the post gad at strathclyde uni thus breaking up my main H&S qualifications. Good luck whatever you decide jmc

Posted By Andrew Kelleher Hi Try the Nottingham and Trent University Diploma in Health Safety and Environmental management. I've recently completed the course and whilst it was hard work it was enjoyable. On completion of this you can apply for graduate membership of IOSH, and associate membership of IEMA! Crack on Andy
