Health and Safety for Beginners Forums

Lovely helpful replies from all our members here at HSfB and its nice to see you have moved swiftly forward into your next step and i wish you all the very best with the studying and just remember, HSfB will always be here whenever you need a little guidance on your studying

I always try to be in the company off people who take interest in what i do/ or who just don't show negativity when talking about career, life and so on with them, I approached a senior colleague of mine within our health and safety department he said he had little respect for people with 'letters after their name' this is the kind of person i would stay WELL CLEAR of while doing my studying and thereafter

I am sure that we all have different preferences when it comes to learning and the route that we are most comfortable with. Having just completed the NVQ 5 in Occupational Health & Safety Practice it is a path that I found that I was comfortable with.

The other consideration in terms of the debate between NVQ v Diploma is cost, you will find that the diploma route is a lot more expensive than that of the NVQ. Whatever path a person takes in the choice offered to them both have benefits attached to them and anyone that completes either will have a lot more options open to them in the field of Health & safety
