Registered with CIS years ago...

 

Now told I need CSCS...

 

Go on CSCS website - arb and forestry now dealt with by BALI

 

Bugger all on BALI website...

CSCS cards are for site operatives and a requirement to work on construction sites.

 

Its just a touch screen simpleton test...

 

CSCS Test Centre Inverness - Inverness CSCS Test and CSCS Card

 

For example

I do believe it has changed mate.

New scheme being introduced by BALI called LISS: land based industry skills scheme. I think its no different to basic CSCS but allows you to add specific skills to the card as you gain them.

 

CSCS as stated above is simple touch screen test for health and safety, you can still get this and just put Labourer on the forms, most sites don't care what it says as long as you have one. Its just a box ticking exercise.

made a change

[Rich Rule]

I passed my CSCS quite some time ago. We hadn't received cards so it was followed up. In the time taken to issue the cards the scheme changed and now they are trying to charge for the new scheme.

 

Jog on!

Absolute shower of shite. A complete disgrace! Loads of numbers, loads of options, no answer after trying now for the third day...

Proof of competance!!! How about CSCS customer service competance???!!!

[PhilBeech]

NPTC proves a level of competence way beyond CSCS if your prepared to argue the toss.

 

However, for what it costs and the simplicity, it is mostly easier to just comply.
