Anybody sat this exam?? got mine Friday my brain is fried!!!!!!!!

Yes mate I have.  Passed with one mark short of a distinction (coz I'm a boring c@nt).

I did mine from scratch on a three week intensive course and my brain was proper fried.  If the format is the same as mine you have 3 papers ?

Doubt I could give you any better advice than your tutors but PM me if you think I could help.

Good Luck

I have done mine over a 15 week period, already had my practical exam go two more to do.

Alright you two,this begs the obvious question from someone of a certain age,what the hell is Nebosh and to what purpose does it serve. Bare in mind that I shall ridicule you at the earliest opportunity if it is some sort of spurious unnescessary government inspired nonsensical qualification to allow you to do a job thats been done for years without the need for examination etc.

Health and Safety!!!! enough said.

NEBOSH is an award for Health and Safety stuff, My Masters wife has the qualification for when she was involved in factories, workshops and quarries as an 'Occupational Health Nurse'.

Woof, Woof!

Ah,one of the reasons the country takes five times aslong to get jobs done. Spend time and money writing assessments on things that may go wrong and how you are going to avoid dropping a hammer on your toe or breaking a fingernail. Then put into practice all the stupid precautions some jobsworth has dreamt up while sitting in an office having never done a proper job in their lives.Treble the cost of a job by intiating all the pointless protection you can possibly dream up.Shut down everything within five miles of the project in case the lawyers decide that your work has caused a white van to run over a cat whilst watching you work.

Great stuff.

And yes I do see the point of alot of the stuff but some of it is so ott it's unreal. INHO every second Hse officer should tortured to within an inch of death having shot the first one.

Without health and safety precautions anything could happen - just follow this link if you don't believe me:

Icey i actually agree with everything you have wrote there, Being from a mechanical background all the red tape is very frustrating, the reason for me doing this is for career progression. I find that most things are common sense, but at least i have the experience in the field and not just in the classroom.
