Has anyone recently taken the cscs test.We have been asked to quote for a builders clean so will need to look into getting the card.

I am presuming it the green card we would need any advice would be greatly appreciated guys

Know the fire extinguishers, remember the site induction and common sense. A quick read of the book and its easy. I leant my book to someone on here

Green cscs card is all youll need. its for general operatives.

Thank you for such quick responses guys. I am looking on Google to try and source some reasonably priced revision Material.

Just wondering about a £99.00 revision and test package but does seem expensive tho.

Dependant on how much site work you do and who you do it for the CSCS card is changing.

I and at least one other need to have a supervisors card for our works, without it the site wont let you on!!

No staff can work on site without a supervisor carrying a supervisors CSCS card. Don't know what the cut off date is but it definitely coming in!!!

Thanks for that info. We will have to look into that mate, at the moment we don't do site work but I have been asked to quote an after Builder clean so will need one

[Rob_Mac]

I don't know exactly when it will come into force but I am being asked to go on the course now.

All the best

The best revision material i can recommend is the cscs test book from ebay. Sorry, i dont have a link. I bought one before i did my test, it has all the questions you can be asked, with all the answers. Easy. Its only a tenner from memory.

Rob,

Thats interesting, ill have to have a look into it. cheers.

I am being told it is a two day course @ £240.00 per person and I have tried to work out which card it is, my money is on one of the red cards that says supervisor

Rob

[Matt Gibson]

Are you sure its the law? It sounds like a training company trying to take the pi$$

[Rob_Mac]

It is definitely coming from the principal contractors I work with and is going to be a necessity moving forward. How it affects everyone else might be worth a phone call to CSCS

Mine has just expired end of March. Do I need to book a test or just a card?

[Rob_Mac]

Lee the qualification is only valid for the life of the card.

You must do the test and apply for the card again

No probs

[B Bailey]

renewed mine in december, white card under builders cleaner category.
None of my contractors have ever mentioned we need a supervisor card.
You can get the book from waterstones.

Don't waste your money on training if all your after is the operatives.

We have never had any one fail. A five year old could pass!

The CD lets you go through all the questions and also lets you sit through mock tests.

Test centres are stricter than they used to be so put on your best undies ready for the strip search

You can buy both the book and Cd in W H Smiths

or download it for free like I did...

I can email the iso disk to anyone that needs it, just use daemon tools to mount it on your pc, takes 20 secs.

The test itself, piece of p got all my guys through it no problems. Definately worth getting if your serious about commercial work.
