I recently took my part 1 scaffolding course after 18 month of working... I work for a construction company who have loads of trades.. im in the middle of doing my work based evidence portfolio.. the firm did pay for my course as I have other qualifications... I havent got my card yet but want to get it quickly as I plan on going elsewhere to gain more experience.... is their anyway I can get it quicker? Im a qualified plasterer too but hate it and want to further my scaffolding career.. jus need to get the card and get out their. Any advice would be great cheers...

You could have applied for your card as soon as you got your certificate for the part 1. Is your card maybe sitting in the office?
Nah. If you have completed your part 1 then you can apply for your own trainee card. Download the form from the cisrs website and away you go. They will want proof of your health and safety touch screen test.
Are you just looking for your trainee card?
You won't be able to get a part 2 card until you complete that portfolio and then do your assessment.
Don't take my word for anything. I also suspect that you have maybe misunderstood what your training provider told you. Get on the cisrs website and find out for yourself.
Let me know what happens.

One word of warning though. I would consider very carefully before jumping ship from an employer willing to invest in your training.

Yeah just a part 1 card mate. I wonder if training 2000 meant I cant have my "fully qualified" card until ive done my portfolio ect. Just been on the cisrs website and looked at the app forms their doesnt seem to be ant strict asks just a signature of the employer.
