Workers holding the cards will need to follow different training routes in future, as overall CSCS scheme aligns to vocational qualifications
SKILLcard has announced that the CRO card for 28 occupations in HVACR are closing for new applications on 31 January 2021. SKILLcard said it will support those affected by identifying paths to an agreed industry qualification for that occupation in order to obtain a skilled worker SKILLcard.
The move is the latest wave of CRO (Construction-Related Occupation] card phasedowns as the SKILLcard scheme continues to deliver the Construction Leadership Council’s 2025 vision on skills. Under the vision, all card schemes carrying the CSCS logo, including SKILLcard, must only certify those occupations with nationally recognised construction-related qualifications, namely NVQs, SVQs or approved equivalents.
