Cut the cost of the CPD course.

The Issue

Enough is enough! All our scaffolding careers we having been paying for courses just to get work, everything from our scaffolding courses,safety passports, cscs touch screen tests, asbestos awareness training, the list goes on. Of course we do it, we all need the money & we all need to work. This time NASC have introduced a CPD course in which every scaffolder from June 1st 2017 will have to attend.it's a 2 day course setting out new rules & regulations. This we can all agree is a good idea. EXCEPT, this means that's the price of the course, plus losing 2 days wages could come into the region of £500.For any man this is a lot of money, for the smaller firms it could be crippling, as those scaffolders who do not attend this 2 day course there cards will be void. Even though this course was 10 years in the making, there are still questions to be answered.overall we think it's a good idea, but the cost is far from great. This petition is set up on behalf of the working man who has had enough of these money making schemes, we wish the powers that be to stop this course coming in on June 1st 2017. Surely theres a better, cheaper solution. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Sign n share it takes 2 minutes Let's be heard!!!
