Hi, I live in hampshire and currently work in Domicilary Care
I have just started in pursuing a career in Health & Safety- I have worked in the public sector for the last 7 years and have really enjoyed anything to do with health & safety, although I complete risk assements for manual handling , general and medication and train manual handling, I was feeling a little scared about the exam side of things- from what i have seen of your site so far im beginning to feel a bit better.
I am doing my gen certificate in April - on a 2 weeks intensive course - exam at the end
forums are also new to me
new and very scared

Welcome to the site Zenad
The course can be a bit daunting but it does all make sense and fall into place in the end
Download Otto's guide to the A1 paper, (probably best place to start) and ask whatever questions you want, we will try and help where possible
Good luck on the block release
