Posted By Mike Healy Hi all, I completed the NEBOSH General Certificate 2 years ago, and was extremely lucky in gaining a position with a small independent H&S consultancy serving mainly the construction industry. I can honestly say it`s probably the best job I`ve ever done, for sheer variety and challenges. However I need to progress my personal development and need to know which course I should be aiming for next. I have been getting conflicting information about the usefulness of some courses.Some have recommended NEBOSH Diploma, others have decried it. I have tried to speak to my boss about it, but we are a very busy office. He has said though that he has been very pleased with my progress. I now carry out site inspections and after attending 3 day course,scaffold inspections solo. My weakness is one of confidence. I know I can do this job, but feel I need a structured learning path to back this up. At the moment, it`s a little of everything, policy,COSHH,H&S Plans, with no structure. When I get time, I try and research on the web, but again, how do I know what I am picking up is still valid if it is not from a recognised course or there is no measure of my abilities? Hope you guys can help....
