Posted By Peter Longworth We often see on this forum the "what can I do next" type of thread, as though the accumulation of qualifications merely for their own sake is something to be desired. I think you have got it right in your own post when you say that the L6 diploma or dip 2 are realistically the max that employers look for. You need to ask yourself whether going for an MSc for instance would add any value in the eyes of a prospective employer. I think in most cases it probably wouldn't. As for when you find employment (if you are not already employed) then I believe that training courses connected to the type of work you do would be more suitable. Having said all that, if you intend specialising in occupational health I'm pretty sure that you need to be a qualified nurse or physician first (which you may well be) but I stand to be corrected on that one.
