Posted By Pam Williamson Could anyone please advise me on the wereabouts of an Occupational Safety and Health NVQ level 4 course in my area. I work in a 6th Form college in the North East of England (Billingham) as a Laboratory Technician. Being proactive in health and safety because of my job, I gained the NEBOSH General Certificate to give me a more rounded view of health and safety legislation not just the COSHH and MHSW Regulations as applies in my role. I decided to study for the NVQ 3 which I achieved about 3 years ago. This qualification, because it is work based and benifited the college as a whole, has given me the confidence to realise that I could possibly take this a stage further and study for the NVQ 4 which in turn could lead to career change. This were the problem arises, I have not found any courses in my area to this level. Please can anyone help me achieve my goals??? Pam W
