Hi to all, I have my qualification from another country accepted by IOSH as a Graduate Qualification. I am waiting for the result of the NGC, however, I didn't appreciate NEBOSH and I create a Personal Development Plan for improvement of my knowledge. As result and after consulting different UNIs I have the following options: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4UlsqJpu1uoZm1semRzT1BzeW8 What will be the best investment?

where do you live or are you looking to work? - some employers would sponsor you through the appropriate courses and so you may not have to outlay the cash yourself. go to your local iosh group and talk to the people there, if you are wanting full iosh membership, i was told the dnvq route was better than nebosh, but nebosh is better recognised, depending on the attitudes of the people doing the recruiting, (by going to the local iosh you can do an informal chat as to how people where you are feel about it and what they would prefer to see).

I am already a full IOSH member and I am working as HS Advisor. Yes, attend to a local branch, can be a good solution.
NVQ or NEBOSH, I don't know if any will add anything and I don't want to ask my employee. I already been married once ;)

I cant access your drive, but you need to have a look at the November 2016 edition of the IOSH Magazine whereby different routes and qualifications to GradIOSH were discussed. As your qualification is from I presume another country, you may want to be able to relate your qualification to one recognised by UK employers, if that is your intended area of work?
The NVQ is very challenging, if you are in a role and get a good assessor, who doesn't just go through the motions but ensures you have the knowledge as well as the practical elements to undertake the role of the safety practitioner. CADUK are also good at this and have a good platform from which to develop you knowledge and provide evidence of learning and supporting documents to demonstrate an understanding of the learning outcomes. They also produced a paper on the Road to GradIOSH accessed via their website.
Best of Luck.

Hi Waz, Yes, my qualifications are from another country and accepted as Graduate Qualification by IOSH. In fact, I just enrol on the IPD for start working for the CMIOSH status. Regarding the NVQ, I did not hear the best from the system. The assessors provide very poor information and in fact, I am helping some colleagues with what is required.
