So monday i commenced... mmm tough day in class and homework was too. By end of today (wed), we all all flowing in fine form in the group. Only 6 candidates, great tutor. All bouncing stuff off each other (and i dont mean the furniture!) and its going really well. Still have some reservations but will wait till next week to see where i am struggling, so stand by your bunks, i may roll call you into submissions of assistance at short notice!!!!
In all, the advice and docs i recieve over the last 2 weeks has put me in good stead thus far. So great thanx all round. Lets hope i dont hold too many of your feet to the fire next week, eh!!?? : 
Update you soon, hopefully for benefit of any potential candidates to allay those fears.

End of week 2.....
hey all...
Sorry not updated earlier...kinda been busy if you know what im saying!
Anyway, end of the course today. Did practical yesterday and have indication of v good marks!! And mock management paper got me 81%... so im feeling rather chipper now. Done a few past exams too and scored well. Dont know why i was so stressed, and havent really struggled with much apart from memory skills!! lol! And thats really the crux of it i think. A lot of information that is compounded into a short space will tax most of us but dont despair kids!!!..... its not so bad if you get into the stuff ahead of your course and exams. So much just fell into the right place at the right time. I have revision next week with the other guys and loads to do this week ready for 2 papers next Friday.
Oh and then im off to panama for 6 weeks ... not at work till feb!(sorry guys!!hee hee)
let you know how i get on and ill be frequenting these boards more afterwars im certain!

Well i was positive, just a shade jaded after hearing of so many apparently intelligent guys failing this!
Maybe that just gave a little cause for doubt since i looked up to these people and hadnt done any intesnive study and examination since my Diving Instructors courses way back in 2001!!! Anyhow, feel great about it and im already planning next years courses for Construction and Environmental!
But true to form is the enxtent of the advice and encouragment here on this site and forums. I am amazed that so many dedicate their own non profiting time to help and advise others. Hopefully in time ill be able to return the favours and contribute.
Incedently, my work next year is to be with National Grid on Gas pipelines (on-shore), is anyone here in this game? i am piepline experienced but some good pointers would be good...
Catch ya laters

WOW 
Its been a year since I found this site and decided to go down the mainstream H&S route guns bazing
.
With the help of a few wise posters on here, I have progressed soundly during the year, plenty of tips and advice have come my way.
Taking this NEBOSH Gen. was certainly the turning point for me, opened so many doors.
That said it is only the begining of a long journey,and with the help of this site will be successful and rewarding.
To all those who will be taking the December exam, good luck and I hope its a great reward for you as it has been for me.
Onwards and upwards

Cheers al,
yeah, well im a welding, coating and now ultra sonic inspector in gas pipelines. Have Magnetic partical and Dye penetrant inspection courses and exams in new year when im back from my annual 2 months chillin in Panama!) and also the Nat Gen resit. Busy boy u could say. In reflection, there were many questions in the managment paper that werent covered in depth in the course that i felt should have been...
Very difficult when you are guided by a tutor as what to brush up on.
I will no doubt be popping back in here for some pre exam advice on Management Paper so any good tips please keep me abreast if you have the time.
Very much appreciated and thanks for support and good will throughout, guys.
In touch soon
Lee
PS- if i take a modules again, does my highest mark count or most recent? If the latter then ill leave my Practical and Control marks as they are ... both over 70%. Otherwise go for the distinction!
