NEBOSH Certificate

[wade88]

Hi guys,

Anyone hold a NEBOSH certificate, and if so has it been beneficial career wise? I go to London to sit the course and take exam in April/May and will be doing the International course to open more doors elsewhere if necessary.

Just wondered if anyone else has this and how useful they have found it?

Ahhh, OK, with it now!!
Probably why you never see a UK Safety Officer on any commercial international project anywhere in the world. As deemed more trouble than their worth!!...lol!!

I've got IOSH, that took 4 days.

Best of luck with Nebosh.

This is 11 days + one day revision then the exam day after.

Just curious to know if it has been of any major benefit to the career or not.

Did the NEBOSH National General cert about 17 years ago now. Two weeks learning plus a day of exams. It was a fascinating course - really enjoyed it. Became H&S officer for the company I was working for (steel industry), on top of my normal role of Project Engineer. Got cock all extra money, became universally hated by management for wanting to spend their money or change working practices and all the lazy shop floor monkey's wanted to be my best mate so they could show me all sorts of fictitious 'dangers' they'd discovered in their jobs. Hopefully things will have improved nowadays. It's an interesting field to work in but you need to be in a company with the right culture.

[Rockstar94]

Think £2k isn't it?
