Pete you learnt off other scaffolders not the firms, youve been shafted like the rest of us, yes we earnt money but we cant anymore cause the so called major companys have shafted us. if they want to win contracts they have to be part of nasc, they are the one that everyone listens to. they all bowed down to them. no one fought them they were spineless, unions were a joke. i am going to log off cause ive had a drink and so fucked off with it all. my apologies to the forum.
Gents lets be honest here the ECITB card is a joke to our industry anyone can apply for one and the mean reason it is being phased out is because someone actually applied for one for their 8 year old daughter and actually got it issued (say no more)....
I know lads who have these cards and are excellent scaffolders but at the end of the day the CISRS scheme is the recognised card scheme for scaffolders.
For those of you who require your CISRS card I can offer you FREE training Part 1 & Part2 with NVQ included.
This is providing you do not have a NVQ already.
So no excuse fellas free training no cost to you at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hope it aint matt the dog haha
hi Just joined forum as i was trying to get my head round the stupid cards situation.
I have been in the game for longer than i care to remeber and i have recentley achieved NVQ level 2 and 3 via on site assessment. I read the CSCS leaflets which say you get an NVQ you get a cscs card. I decided to contact CSCS. They now tell me I need to do a part one and two and be treated as a new entrant and the only card I could have is a trainee cscs. Has any one else had this? I am a bit confused to say the least it doesnt not seem to be very fair.
