Just get a labourer card and be done with it. It’s a flawed system. No snobbery here as far as qualifications are concerned, but Ive got a degree, SSSTS, a few other CITB courses and BOHS P601 and was told none of it counts, I’d need to do a 3 day course on subjects relevant to the building trade (irrelevant to my trades) to get anything other than labourer or visitor since they phased out the green ‘operative’. Not to mention that 9/10 of their telephone advisors are unhelpful to the point of being rude. It’s never been questioned, but the work I do can be quite laborious anyway.
