Can someone confirm whats happening in 2010. I nread somewhere that you will need at least a nvq to work on building sites!!

Is this true!

Yes you will need a cscs card for all site work 2010..

The construction industry is getting qualified. Already, many sites won't let workers on without an appropriate card to prove their skills. And this is set to increase as we approach the industry wide deadline for a fully qualified workforce of 2010


all the info you need can be found here.... http://www.citb.co.uk/cardschemes/

If you are an experienced tradesman you can pay a fee for an Assesor to come out and inspect your work on site. If you demonstarte the same skill and knowledge of a time served formally qualified tradesman they will issue you with a CSCS card equivilant to NVQ if they are satisfied that you oppoerate to that level.

Welcome to the forums,firstly you dont need to take a week off work to do a course as the NORTH EAST TILING TRAINING centre do a course over two wwekends and then you can arrange for the Natural Stone course.Secondly as Fekin points out if its only domestics you want then start straight after vyour course like i did nearly a year ago and like Fekin it has worked out.

As i always say to people who are apprehensive,NOTHING VENTURED NOTHING GAINED.
