FIS has introduced two offers to help fit-out sector operatives upgrade to the Blue Skilled Worker CSCS card, an essential replacement for the expired CRO card which cannot be renewed.

For dryliners, FIS is offering a 20 per cent discount on the full price of upgrading a CRO card in the drylining trade to a Blue Skilled Worker CSCS. The cost of £995 plus VAT includes registration, paperwork, on-site assessment and NVQ Level 2 completion, which will enable operatives to become qualified in drylining and acquire a Blue Skilled Worker CSCS card, valid for five years.

The second offer is a fast-track route for experienced drylining finishers to upgrade from their current CRO card to a Blue Skilled Worker CSCS card in two days for £300 plus VAT.  Operatives will only spend one day away from site to gain their qualification and get the Blue Skilled Worker CSCS card. This an opportunity for operatives to turn their experience into a qualification so they can work on-site.
