Newbury College is now offering the new Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) to people working within, or hoping to work in the construction industry.
The new programme meets all of the latest requirements set out by CSCS for the 'Labourer' green card (formerly known as the Construction Site Operative).
CSCS is the leading skills certification scheme within the UK construction industry and provides proof that individuals working on construction sites have the required training and qualifications for the type of work they carry out.
With most principal contractors and major house builders requiring construction workers on their sites to hold a valid CSCS card, this is an important scheme for anyone working in the industry.
Community Learning Manager for Newbury College, Sarah Hughes, said, We are delighted to be able to run this programme to enable people in the construction industry in and around West Berkshire to benefit from the scheme and allow them to take advantage of the employment opportunities associated with it.
Newbury College will be holding one-day sessions on the first Thursday of every month, beginning with Thursday 1st October 2015. A slightly more detailed two day programme aimed at jobseekers and those looking for employment in the construction industry is also
available.
Both programmes will allow candidates to take their on-screen CSCS tests at the College's Monks Lane campus and will also include the required CITB Site Safety Plus, Health and Safety Awareness (HSA) training.
