white card, there is a code for tree surgeons, just look it up on their website.

 

The easist way to do it is through Skills Direct, ring them up and they will do the rest for you.

 

The total cost of card plus test is £42 whether you use them or not.

as andy said some sites require it, no card no work. for the little amount it costs and the small amount of time it takes you may as well do it as you will be kicking youself if you get refused work.

i have both cscs and cpcs cards

Just an update on the cards i have applied for one and am siting a test monday!

Call these guys and pay them £30 for the card CSCS - Construction Skills Certification Scheme

 

Then call these guys to sit the test £17.50

ConstructionSkills - Home Page

 

I am getting a green card as work is slow and i have been offered a very good job as a gopher for a few weeks/2months on a site.

 

Tree surgeons card is white and is exactly the same test except its another £30 for a different coloured card however you only sit the test once for them both.

 

so bit of revision this weekend but been told if you fail it you must be a plank:laugh1:

 

Hope this can help someone else:thumbup1:
