looks like bristol for me..
have to speak to the guy, and find out about costs etc.
however it does say they will get 100% funding ;D
-
I'd be more interested in what the course content involves. Have you a programme?
-
am I reading it correct, you have to have less than 5 gcse's to get funding? what would the cost be if funding was not available?
Isnt that intelligent-ist...i ve got more than 5, so i got to pay??? do they presume you must be on the dole if you didnt get more than 5???

Its NOT just for commercial..... When you pass you could put an editorial in your local paper to show your commitment to training and that your a tradesman and NOT a beer money fair weather cleaner.
I'm expecting not to need most of the stuff about rope access, etc but it will be good to learn how its done and if I wanted to go in to that side of things.

i done my NEBOSH at college at night after work. This was done in my last job as this was part of my role H&S. Very good course.
cpntact your local colleges to find out if they run a course. you can do it over 1 year or compact the course over a few weeks. I suggest 1yr to help ye get good understanding of everything if not familar with H&S
-
jsmc thanks
-
How long do these course last it seems quite a bit of stuff in it.
And is it theory based or is there practical also.
If there is practical would i need to take my own gear
-
3 days practical 2 days of site visits.
thats all i know has of yet but send them an email
