FaCT is one of the first providers to offer you these qualifications, and we are pleased to be working with major manufacturers and installation companies in delivering these qualifications.
We will deliver these qualifications with our team of industry-experienced work-based assessors. We will support the candidates through every step of the process with regular site visits and effective collection of evidence. So there is very little “downtime” you do not need to take photos or write up reports, we do that for you. You just need to continue installing high-quality fences and answer the underlying knowledge questions. Our normal completion time of 3 to 6 months will be maintained (except in Scotland and Ireland we will may take a little longer, because of the distances to travel – sorry) We will then claim your certification which you should have within 2 to 3 weeks and then we will also apply for your FISS/CSCS skills card (subject to holding the correct health & safety and product training) – contact us for advice.
