Can anyone let me know how the CIEH compares in the real world?? I am thinking of taking the Professional Trainer Certificate. Will this qualification allow me to take H&S awareness courses in-house to new employees? I hold a Gen Cert qualification and have attended a manual handling train the trainer course in which I undertake in-house training. I have always wanted to teach, and H&S is a subject that I find very interesting.
Your help would be much appreciated.

With the CIEH Professional Trainers Certificate and your NEBOSH Certificate you can deliver up to Advanced Health and Safety (CIEH).

You will have to complete an application pack and pay the registration fee for yourself and your company will have to apply for a centre registration.

Hope this helps.

There are various CIEH H&S courses which are all nationally recognised qualifications.
In order to be eligible to teach these courses you will need certain qualifications as well as the CIEH Professional Trainers Certificate.
If you contact the CIEH direct they are very helpful and obliging and can give you more details than I can, best of luck.

Hi Darren,

Taking cost an availability into account you might find it more worthwhile to do something like C&G 7307/1, Part 1 of the adult trainer's award. This has a wider application than the CIEH training the trainiers and is accepted by all the accredited training bodies as conferring the skills needed to train. I'm not sure whether the CIEH award would have such a wide acceptance, though I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong. It also allows progression to 7307/2 (which I haven't done) which is on the way to a full-blown adult teaching award,

Hi

Just a thought to throw into the melting pot.
The full blown teaching qualifications e.g. "Cert Ed" are designed primarily for curriculum based courses, and much of what you would study is far over and above the average short course delivery.
I definatly think that the CIEH gives a good grounding - more often than not if you have trained before it will reaffirm what you already know. The 7407 builds upon this, but sways towards curriculum teaching. In the end its up to you on what you consider suitable to your needs.
