Hello all. I am just after a little info please. I have just started my NGC with Phoenix H&S via distant learning. has anyone got any feedback positive or negative regarding Phoenix? Also I would like to know, would reading the study book provided by Phoenix be enough to get me through all 3 exa...

Hi Pete from what I understand, you are struggling with the book you have and are hoping for a book that will explain it better? if you are doing your certificate through a provider then I would stick to the books they give you, I found that Ed Ferrets books just confused me. However the one thing ...

Hi Pete First off, let me say I have split this from the topic which you had added it to. That topic was from some 7 years ago, so a fresh start is much more relevant. As to your question, you appear to be referencing Amazon pages offering different editions of the same book. Your first link is 5th...

Hi all I am currently reading introduction to health & safety (put the at thingy in here) work by Phil huges & Ed ferrett. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Introduction-Health-Safety-at-Work/dp/0080970702/ref=dp_ob_title_bk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Cant seem to get my ...

Hi Pete There is quite a difference between the courses. The NEBOSH General Certificate (if done by block learning) is around 10 days vs. the CIEH courses at 3 or 5 days. The NEBOSH course is much more in depth, aimed at managers who need detailed knowledge of health and safety issues, or those who...

I feek this is going to be a stupid question, but hey ho, if ya don't ask you don't get...lol.. here goes. Can someone please advise me what the difference is between the NEBOSH General Certificate compared to the CIEH Level 3 Award in Health and Safety in the Workplace. Are they the same or similar...

Pete, given you're an officer, why not become an appointed PoA heath and safety rep and then go on TUC health and safety courses - they are paid for and you should have no problems securing paid release from work to attend. Stage 1 & 2 http://www.unionlearn.org.uk/education/index.cfm?mins=12&qu...

[quote="Reddwarf"]Yes NGC would be a good course to start with. i think you need to weigh up the pros and cons of distance learning. Attending a course on a weekly basis means that you will have a fixed time when you study and have the support of a tutor as well as others on the course and...

Hi, personally I would not go the distance learning route, I have done that for my environmental qualification and find it difficult - lack of tutor support, etc. I much prefer the classroom experience as feel I learn a lot more and remain motivated. But others like distance learning. As you have n...
