WHAT DO YOU DO AND WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE?

• Meet your workers on site to explain the scheme and carry out a personal skills review.
• We then liase with the CITB to produce an individual Skills Match and Assessment Plan, for each worker.
• Future visits are scheduled assessing your workers ability to do what he says he can (direct observation and underpinning knowledge questions) and to instruct and monitor his building of an Evidence Portfolio. Every visit produces a progress and action plan.
• Your worker collects evidence (diary, photographs, witness statements) between visits.
• We tell you how to book a CITB Health and Safety Test for your worker and how he can help improve his opportunity to pass.
• Completed Evidence Portfolios are then approved by the assessor and forwarded to the Internal Verifier for signing off and forwarded to the CAA for the generation of his qualification.
• Upon receipt of your QCF NVQ Qualification and H & S Pass we will tell you how to apply for your CSCS Card.
