Hi, I have got my NEBOSH Genreal cert, my level 5 NVQ and at the peer interview stage of my Chartered memebership. I would like to get my involved with CDM and would like some advice as to what qualification would be best for me? Would it be the NEBOSH Construction? I have done the SMSTS about 7 years ago too but not had much practical hands on since. Any advice would be great!

Hi Healthy,
This is an area I am also keen to branch into. I'm a little further behind you with training, looking to make a start on the NVQ in the new year, but am based in construction currently.
I had a look at the Association for Project Safety after noting the RMaPS level of membership from our PD provider. The APS website provides details of CPD requirements and various accredited courses. I had considered the 5 day Management of pre-construction Health and Safety course.
I suspect however that completing the NEBOSH Construction Cettificate would be a good start.
This is just my initial thoughts, happy to be guided by others in the know as I am keen to follow a similar path as Healthy.
Hope this is of some help
Matt

It depends on which side of CDM you want to work. If working 'site' side for a PC - then NEBOSH quals are what you need, ok if you want to spend your life doing site inspections, tool box talks etc. In my view the more interesting side is design safety - is working either as a PD or designer. In which case further qualifications are likely to be needed in civil/structural/process engineering to degree/MSc/Chartered Engineer level - especially if you really are going to be making serious design decisions - not just completing PQQ documents etc
