Doing the associate course now with RRC. I chose the distance learning route, the pack is really good and there is plenty of tutor back-up as well. They say that you need to do 80 hours study. I would recommend RRC (Other providers also available!) Regards Andy

Hi I did distance learning many years ago completing the Specialist NEBOSH Dip. The course provider did provide back up if required. I found that I needed to do more than 80 hours as I needed to research info to complete my practical project side of the course and then sit a 3 hour exam. Worth completing the course as it provided more knowledge and competency - recommend. Mike

Right, ok, I've looked at the list of providers, but its just a mine field!! I'll look into RRC now and get info. I'm not from an Enviro background, and I need to obtain an associates cert too, thanks a million. (oh and best of luck with it!)

I have done enviro stuff in the past, and have recently done the ISO 14001 lead auditor course- so I have an advantage. If you can, give yourself more than the 80 hours stated. The web site will give you exam dates, so you can plan ahead. Good luck!! Andy
