Been on the plumbing tools for 21 years, had enough of working on my knees for a living, time to get out before my back/hands/knees start to give me some real trouble... Got a Nebosh general cert a few years ago and now I want to expand on my qualifications. Can anyone recommend a good trainer Derby/Notts way? has to be block type training, I don't like home study as I prefer to have a trainer to ask stupid questions at! So I get the construction cert, what other qualifications should I get for a career in construction safety? PASMA, IPAF? go on some IOSH courses? Want to stick to the construction side of safety, try and get a advisor role at some point. Or is a advisor role asking to much with my lack of experiance? what do you think should be a good starting role? safety officer? Career advise please!

Hi Dizz , I'm in a similar situation at the minute like u were . Just a bit advice if u could . I've been a Roof Sheeter / Cladder for about 13 year now but have decided to go for a NEBOSH general cert. I've been told the course is over 13 weeks , 2 nights a week 3hrs a night . I've just bought the NEBOSH general book to try and get me a few steps ahead before I start it in a few month . I understand that I will be learning quite a bit from this book whilst on the course but is there any main topics they like u to know / study . I've heard that the course is pretty intense so Just trying to get as much info on contents of the course as I can to get me going . Thanks

Although I didn't do my construction certificate with them (although I did my NGC , Fire Cert. and Diploma with them) North Notts College in my opinion were Worksop were spot on.
