Tiling Cscs Cards - Blue Card Nvq Level 2 For Domestic Jobs Soon

[Gazzer]

I am due to renew mine and I will because for what it costs over the 5 year period is peanuts .
I have been on site where other trades got turned away because they had no card...thats ok if you have smaller builders or private work to fall back on.
Dont ask me if it all mean anything though, all this health and safety is only put into plan when there is a site visit in progress in my eyes.

Did I read right on a previous post, that you can actually gain access onto building sites as a Tiler using the green CSCS card?

if you don't work on site you don't need one. Would I like to see it enforced in the in the domestic market 100% yes

Imo the cscs card as it stands means nothing.
You don't need to be a qualified tiler to obtain one so whats the point of enforcing it into the domestic market.

You can obtain a card that will last for one year and when it needs to be renewed you will need to have an level 2 NVQ. this is how we get a "qualified" workforce.

I'am with Deano on this one !
I don't have a card as we dont do site work but for the cost and if it was necessary I'd get one.
If we can get our trade regulated and if NVQ level 2 is a requirement then it's a start. Even in the domestic market it would go some way to raise the standard of tiling.
IMO just because you don't need them shouldn't be a reason for not having to achieve a level of competence .
My son earned his Level 2 a few years ago and they gave me mine for being there and still managing to get up and down off the floor.
