you need first to take a H&S exam. simple multi choice cost about £40. there is a booklet costing £15 with all the possible questions and answers. also the 18th Ed. regs. course is approx £300 inc. exam. then you submit your quals to JIB. what you are aiming for is a gold card.

THE 18th or 2382 course is generally done evenings 2 hours per week over several weeks, or a daytime course (not sure, but I think about 1-2 weeks). It's basically being able to find the answers (multi choice) to 60 questions in 2 hours,in a copy of BS7671. search 18th Ed. mock questions.
