I took the RRC course a few years ago and found it excellent. Good notes and good support. If you do go this way then make sure you attend the revision days including the practical. NEBOSH are very specific in what they want and you need to learn this as well as the actual technical stuff. It's not a bad way to start in H&S and is well recognised. There's a good discussion on the pros and cons of the NGC on another thread on this site so worth looking at that as well.
Good luck. Have to say I can never understand why you guys want to leave NZ though?

actually, think about looking at the NEBOSH site again with regard to the international certificate as it might be better for you in the long run if you plan to go back to NZ or even somewhere else......and i won't mention the rugby again as it must be a sore point only just having enough stadiums to scrape a tournament
