Hi people, quick question for everyone.
With everything being geared towards health & safety nowadays.
To actually be able to set foot on a site now, you need a SVQ/NVQ to get the correct CSCS card for your trade.
How do the people that have been tiling for years feel about having to go to college and take one of these courses just to set foot on a site?
I have a guy working for me that's been tiling for 13 years, is known on all my sites and a really good tiler but now I have to get Construction Skills in to get an on site assessment(hopefully) just so he can set foot back on the site's.
I understand you need to move with the times, but surely there can be some sort of compromise for the people that have done on site apprenticeships(better in my opinion) and are known throughout the trade, rather than someone doing a 3 week college course and getting one of these cards saying they are a tiler??
