Hi all, hoping for some helpful advice on the feasability, practicality and implications of a career change from a site manager to a citb assesor. I'm 30 years old, currently a site manager (paye employee) for a main contractor and living in London. The above has served it's purpose as I have 2 investment properties and own my own flat. These cover most of my basic expenses each month as I'm not married and don't have any children. and I'm now looking to move sideways into something a little less stressful and bottom line based. I'd also like to work freelance and be a position to take time out to concentrate on professional development, maintenance of my rental properties, travel and spending time with my ageing parents. I've figured (perhaps naively!) that working as a freelance citb tutor/assesor for smsts/sssts/ipaf/pasma/slinger be an ideal fit for my needs and I genuinely find these topics much more stimulating than working to ever tightening construction programmes. I currently hold the following qualifications -smsts -first aid -pasma -ipaf 3a and 3b -cpcs slinger/signaler ap40 and cpcs red card -cpcs appointed person My intention is in the first instance to hand my notice in and start working as a slinger/signaler on short term contracts. This will allow me to take time off between sites to gain my qualification that I have identified as; (correct me if these are not necessary or I've missed something) -level 3 award in education and training -nebosh level 3 award in construction health and safety A lot of the jobs I have looked at often state applicant must be 'citb approved tutors for'...followed by the particular qualification being taught. I can't seem to find any information on this process. After the above where would this leave me? Able to jump straight into the classroom and likely to find work? I would be in a position to volunter/shadow assesors and cover holidays etc if needs be. Thoughts appreciated on the feasability of this and anything I may have missed. Thanks
