Change to CSR Renewal Requirements
From 31 December 2020 all
Construction Skills Register (CSR) skilled cards or above that were
originally issued on the basis of an occupational assessment and
Industry Accreditation will expire on 31 December 2024. Candidates will
then have to have registered on or achieved an NVQ Level 2 qualification
or higher to continue to be issued a CSR card based on their
occupation.
This is the final change required to
ensure CSR meets the Construction Leadership Council’s “One Industry
Logo” requirements which will ensure CSR cards continue to be accepted
in GB. CSR is required to have a transition plan in place to bring all
existing cardholders up to the minimum standard (NVQ Level 2 for skilled
workers). This plan gives the industry five years notice to prepare for
the change.
Skilled cards and above issued from 31 December 2020 will begin to be
short dated, for example a blue joiner card initially issued on the
basis of occupational assessment and Industry Accreditation renewed in
February 2022 will expire on 31 December 2024.
Please note the renewal of Labourer cards or cards previously issued
on the basis of an NVQ qualification are not affected by this change.
