Posted By peter gotch Hi Lynne. You are likely to get a more helpful response if you make your email address visible. Otherwise it is almost impossible for a potential employer to contact you without breach the acceptable use guidelines, specifically AUG3. Regards, Peter

Posted By SNS Hi Lynne, Probably do it in stages, NEBOSH General Certificate first. Gives a good grounding in the current approaches and legislation updating. Then get a job - Cert is seen as baseline for entry. Then do the diploma - depends how long you plan on working in the field. Then progress to Grad and Chartered status. Lots of work available in many fields - I would imagine that BNFL would look favourably at you based on your previous employment in the safety area - if that was suitable for geographic etc reasons. Good luck with whatever path you choose.
