been informed my qualification counts for nothing

[evertonl36]

I have been tiling for about 7 years I attended college for 18 months and obtained a diploma level 1 and 2 in wall and floor tiling since then I have mostly done private work I have recently decided to try to get on site with different housebuiling companies so I went and applied for a Cscs card only to be told my qualification would not get me a skilled card only a operative one does anybody no how much it is to get a assessor to assess you for the nvq qualification and is it possible to get on site tiling with a operative card thanks
