Really? That would be great, Thanks.

Im not too worried about the content of the test as ive been around construction for 10 years or so, but always on the clients side thus not really needing it myself. Ive just looked at a particular job that requires CSCS to enter the construction site - hence the application now.

Im around tomorrow if you do find it. Id like to get it booked in and sorted asap so that i can apply for my site induction.

Ive spent years too in construction, spent a large amount of time on Wembley, T5 heathrow and westfield white city so most large sites in London. CSCS was well worth it. Even now I dont go any where near London, and it gets me out of the dreaded induction loads. Although Im normally called to site to solve problems so if they dont let me in the site is delayed. Dont you just love constuction.........

I passed mine with little revision. Its pretty straight foward. Multiple choice and 90% of its common sense rather than knowledge.

I might just book it in then!

I passed first time with flying colours so it cant be that hard! It was all very straight forward and alot of it is just common sence but there are a few things that would have tripped me up like causes of wheals disease etc but very straight forward.

Apparently I need one. I'm in Security...

Just passed mine last week -Managerial and Professional, if your taking this one it has a different book/CD to the specialist/supervisor tests.

90% is common sense but they put a few in to make you think, and also read the questions properly the sometimes cleverly word things to make sure you've read them correctly.

Just passed the test.

Now to fill in the forms for a card.
