I will put my head above the parapet here and state that the APS course is really only about knowledge of the CDM acop while NEBOSH is about H&S. In the case of a CDMC neither is good enough alone. I will reiterate that the primary intention of the CDM regs with respect to CDMCs is that it was intended that the role was Corporate rather than individual except on very small jobs. One therefore needs a balance across the providing organisation. Not a popular view however among those wishing to create a new profession!! Bob

NEBOSH Construction & SMSTS are primary training as mentioned in the ACoP and are accepted towards RMAPS. Another good course i undertook was the APS approved 2 day Design Risk Management course run by Synergy. This course proved invaluable and gives great insight into the design element of risk management that I feel a competent CDMC requires. Apart from these... 20 years on the tools helps tremendously
