cscs card

[Andymacp]

You can get away with a white card with horticultural engineer on it.

Not the right way of doing it but if it's a one off job then maybe cheapest option

Your NPTC tickets are the benchmarks for treework - just get the most basic (ie cheapest) CSCS card you can find as this will almost definitely be asked for before most site managers even entertain looking at your actual real qualifications. IME as long as you have a plastic CSCS card of any colour with your photo the box is ticked and you're allowed on site.

 

I have found the same, we all have the green card and have never had any problems.

That looks like the LISS/CSCS blue "Skilled Operative" card that I have been reading about. You can only get them by taking the ROLO test.

 

How much did your ROLO test cost Silky Fox?
