redlorryyellowlorry 27 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Just looked online and it's saying the Cscs green card is no longer available! Does anyone know what's happening with it all! Asked about at work today and nobody has heard anything! Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukey 1,621 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I've never had the green card always the white supervisor card with my trade on it? And seem to be getting asked for that (with the trade on it) more and more? It's a carry on as far as I'm concerned Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I just got the green one a few months back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dare 1,103 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Think it's all changed check the cscs website. Only know as I got my brothers mate a job and he needed it. Think it's meant to make it harder for those who come here and just grab a labouring job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cause if you've not got a CSCS card you'll not get on some sites. And when you do go for your test I'd do a bit studying as well. 3 of us went for the test and I was the only one to pass first time. If the guys never passed the second time we were up shit creek for getting on the job. Lucky they did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
