Another nakedly commercial advertisement - the company even pretending to be an individual SW user - in order to avoid the costs of proper advertisements..
When are the administrators going to clamp down on this behaviour?
For anyone attracted by the advertisement, do a little homework. The CSCS Green Card is genuine, operated by the building trade, but you need more than just basic English. You already need qualifications in "construction environment" (= "building-site") safety.
Gliss seems to be a real safety-training company, based in London, and this is what its own web-site (cscs.uk.com) says:
Do not apply for this card if you work in a skilled occupation. This card is for unskilled workers only, it show employers the holder is not on a recognised training pathway. You will be refused entry to site if you work in a skilled occupation and you hold a Labourer card.
The Labourer card is valid for five years and can not be renewed. Instead, individuals should apply for a new Labourer card when their existing card expires.
All applicants must pass the CITB health, safety and environment test for operatives and hold one of the following:
The Level 1 (Scotland Level 4) Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment
The Scottish Level 5 REHIS Elementary Health and Safety Certificate
The NOCN/CSkills Awards Construction Health and Safety (F/618/0738) unit
A CSCS approved alternative qualification – see below.
How to apply
All applications are made via CSCS Online.
Once an application is approved, cards should arrive within five working days.
So apply if you are an unskilled building-site labourer - but only if you already hold those or other prior certificates.
