Last chance of funding for Level 3 training for the Gold FISS/CSCS Supervisors Card

June 12, 2013 By businessequip

On the 1st August the funding rules change and some of the training currently funded will no longer be supported. So now is the time to act.

From the 1st August 2013, the current funding for Level 3 qualifications will stop and be replaced by student loans.

Many sites are now requiring a Gold card holder to be on site at all times. To be able to gain a Gold card, they must complete a Level 3 diploma in Fence Supervision and attend a supervisors health and safety course, normally costing around £1500. Currently funding reduces this to £500 for those under 25 and £750 for those over.

In addition to this, if they are under 25 years old, we may be able to get an additional grant of £1500.  [Read more…] about Last chance of funding for Level 3 training for the Gold FISS/CSCS Supervisors Card
