Posted By Paul Parry If you actively work in H & S and have plenty of documented evidence of achievments, particularly influencing and making policy then the NVQ4 route I suggest might be best. It also makes financial sense as you dont have to do Dip 1 and 2 with NEBOSH to get the same qualification (that alone is a good reason). If you decide to do the DIP 1 route do it with the British Safety Council- ask anyone who has done NEBOSH Dip 1 and they will tel you why !. Also its worth noting that qualifications are ok but nothing beats proven experience of doing the job, the NVQ will give you this.
