Hi,

I'm about to become CMIOSH but looking to expand my knowledge base further by extending my qualifications / knowledge base.

Could do with some advice on what area to concentrate on set against what employers / industry would most have call for.

The areas I am considering further qualifications are:

Environment
Construction
Training
Management

Any thoughts which would be most beneficial?

Could do with some background to suggest further learning. How long, what you do, what you want from the future, etc.

Currently a general H&S consultant.

Have a Postgrad in Occ Health and Safety, so could extend to MSc if wanted.

Would stay as consultant in future, maybe self-employed one day. Not sure if I should specialise?

Not bothered by length of course. Part time over a year or two or full time for a week or two.

Need to make my skills as desirable as possible. Hence my choice of four.

Not certain how long you have been in the club but you could do a lot worse than consider construction as a way forward, it is an ever expanding industry and times at the moment are certainly growth based; who knows what the future holds mind? Any further qualifications are of course always desirable; as I have said before and others before me, 'qualifications do not maketh the man/woman', and you may prefer to look at alternative industries to get further experience in them.

I personally am a fan of NVQ and NVQ 5 is always a further consideration if you thought it beneficial to you.

All the best

Institutions such as the Institute of chemical engineers (IChemE) do a number of very useful H+S courses, also how about the fire RA courses, as a consultant I Am sure you can find a hole in the still large market for that?
