He's posh, and certainly no blockhead! (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nob

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'he's posh and certainly' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'no blockhead' is the wordplay.
'blockhead' becomes 'b' (head letter of 'block').
'no'+'b'='NOB'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nob that I've seen before include "A slang toff - c'est bon" , "A slangy person of high rank - c'est bon" , "A posh gent - c'est bon" , "Jack" , "Aristocrat" .)
