Did you find anything out about CSCS?
I was going to phone up and apply for a CSCS card via Skills direct, the website (
How do I get a card? ) basically says you need to do a health and safety test and register for an NVQ in order to get your experienced worker or trainee cards. But since I ccan't find out what an NVQ involves I don't know what to do.
Seems like a load of stupid pen-pushing &time wasting non-sense to me! -
I mean I can't get an CSCS card until I have my NVQ and I can't get the NVQ until I have experience and I can't get experience easily without any qualifications (IE: the NVQ).
I'm 21 years old, had health problems and been on the sick for a while now and nobody wants to help fund any training (been to jobcentre, connections, LSC,).
Ok, rant over.... I have less than 5 gcse's so maybe I can get some kind of help paying for it, although I might have to *ahem* gain 2 years of experience rather quickly!
