Re: GC2 and NCC1 how similar?
Yes it is very similar. They touch on demolition and more on construction transport but other than that they almost identical.

It will help a little but it will not cover demolition etc as Paul has outlined above. ED Ferrett also has construction books which are similar to the GC books.

Re: GC2 and NCC1 how similar?
Some of it will be similar but when I did my conversion course, if I remember rightly, all the big point questions were on the scaffolding, excavations, load lifting etc
For me if I was doing the course again, I wouldnt risk taking the chance of not revising 'construction' aspects' and hope to get a pass on what I already know.

Re: GC2 and NCC1 how similar?
morning haji,
I have both Hughes & Ferrett books still sat on my desk,
the construction has a third more content than the general, and given that the exam is based purely on construction, I would hit the book as hard as possible. ( ultimately the H&S construction book was written to gain all the knowledge to assist in completing the exam)
I personally would not use any course material which isn't written for that particular NEBOSH exam .
kind regards
