Getting CSCS card without Tiling NVQ?

[Knifey_Spoony]

Hi
I have been Tiling for over 10 years but i never went to tech to get my NVQ.I have been working in Holland for the last 4 years but work is pretty slow so i plan to go to London to work.All of the jobs i have seen require a CSCS card which i also don't have as i never needed one the last time i worked in the UK.<br><br>Is there no way to get one without having an NVQ?If not where can i go to be assessed quickly for an NVQ?I am from Northern Ireland but can't find any place where i can go and be assessed.They seem to only come and asses you at your work but as i am in Holland i don't have anywhere they can come asses me in NI.

Thanks

you can get green one (labourer) as some sites allow you to tile with it.

You can apply for an "experienced worker" card without the NVQ.

How strict are sites about having the right card?Will most sites be fine with an experienced worker card?

It gives you the same access as the skilled worker card for up to one year whilst you get sorted with the h and s tests and any require pro qualifications e.g. NVQ

Deano was telling me a bit about it, certain he said about contacting Bal & they can do an on the job assessment.
If Deano sees this then he will be able to fill you in..

Ok i have now done my Health and Safety test and tried to apply for the experienced worker card but they say i have to be registered for an NVQ course before they will give me it..What is the best and cheapest way to do this?When i get on site i will have an onsite assessment done to get my NVQ but for now i just need to be registered for any NVQ course.

I've been informed (by the guy who actually designed the nvq 2 test) that if you join the TTA , then do the course/test (level 2) , you can claim the full cost of said test back un the form of a grant.
