Default Re: Thinking about it

CSCS is related to construction NVQ's. The only way to get your CSCS card is to enrol onto your NVQ, where you will be given a red 'trainee' card. As soon as you have passed your NVQ, you will be given a 'blue' experienced worker card with your qualifications written on them (like a driving licence).

There are plenty of centres that offer 'tiling training'. Most of which are non-accredited and are not worth the money at all.

There are some that offer accredited short courses (us, NETT and a couple of others), where what you receive at the end of the course can help towards your NVQ. Plus the fact you know you are getting the right training for domestic work.

Finally, there are a very small few centres (us, plastering & artexing school, ABLE skills) that offer an ICA, where your CSCS test is included in the training and the award can be FULLY used towards your NVQ with no further training required for it.

Your red 'trainee' cscs card only lasts for 2 years, and is not re newable after this. This is the time construction skills expect you to get your NVQ once enrolled, although it can be done in as little as 10 weeks.

Good luck
