CRO CARD REPLACEMENT – THE SOLUTION

As of October 2017, if you hold a CRO (Construction Related Occupation) card you have been unable to renew. The new rules require you to upgrade to a Blue FISS CSCS card which in turn requires a formal qualification. We’ve come up with a programme that will be the solution to your CRO card replacement woes!

The rules are simple; No Qualification = No Card!

The previous route to achieve the Blue FISS CSCS card was time consuming and costly. So we created a programme that fast tracks you  and that uses our access to funding to reduce the cost!

The Course

The course is suitable for you if you are a gate installer who requires a Blue FISS CSCS card to replace your existing CRO card. It will result in you achieving a Level 2 Diploma. You will also gain the relevant Health and Safety qualification if required.

There will usually be just one-day of classroom learning alongside 1-2 site visits. This course has reduced the time period from 6-9 months to just 2 months!

The funding we have available for you can reduce the cost by £500, £750 or £950!

We have open course dates at our venues or for bookings of 10+ learners we can come to you.
