Any body any advice on the skills required to become a CDM-C compared to being a H&S Adviser? Is it difficult to make the career leap from advisor into this discipline? Pros v cons? I'm at point were i'm looking to change jobs and the potential career routes are to continue as H&S Advisor in industry or consider applying for an opening for CDM-C. Any advice would be helpful.
Cheers.

have you previous experience in the building design or construction, i.e engineer, designer, contruction manager, anything like that.
if you serach the forums you'll find plenty on this and in the acop and guidance on CDM.
If you're coming from a H & S background in industry with no construction experience i think you might find it pretty difficult.
why is cdm-c co appealing if you dont mind me asking?

I have had a spell as assistant planning supervisor a few years ago but my main career has been H&S in engineering, production, industries. I have enjoyed this to date but not so much in my current position. The challenge of something new and fresh is one big reason for the interest in CDM-C. I relise training will be required to improve my consturction knowledge but this is the reason for this posting so i can ask if anyone has made the change before and what they felt about doing it.

sorry that was a bit short, i meant easier for designers and engineers etc to become cdmc than the other way round, unless you already have construction design experience, sound like you have a bit but maybe just need a course or two to get a bit more knowledge having said that there are very few courses out there for H & S people that dont take 2 years or so, where as designers and engineers can do a h & s course in a matter of weeks!! the previous posts on this topic should help you out though.

Depends entirely on your outlook. I spent 8 years contracting H&S and changed to PS (as was). I couldn't stick working in an office for most of the time, I much more enjoyed being out and about on sites etc. It really is horses for courses, but my own experience was an office is not for me.
