Grandfather Rights deadline approaching. Here’s how to secure your NVQ easily.

As you will be aware on the 31st of December 2024,?CSCS card holders?with Industry Accreditation – often known as Grandfather Rights – must ensure they meet new qualification requirements. These changes require all CSCS card holders to have a?nationally recognised qualification.?The Construction Leadership Council (CLC)?introduced these standards to uphold consistency, safety, and skills across the construction industry. If you’re a CSCS card holder using Industry Accreditation, it is crucial to act now to keep your card valid and compliant.

he NVQ programmes are designed to fit around your work, making it easy to complete your qualification without going back to college.
