I have just passed the health and safety test to get a CSCS card (construction skills certification scheme) as it was a condition of the developer that all staff on site have one. This test was paid for by my employer however before I got the full card (which requires some proof that you are a skilled worked) I left the unit. It costs about ?20 to get the card which obviously I would now have to cover myself so my question is before I lash out the cash... how useful is this card in archaeology and would it be accepted instead of a Safe Pass if I wanted to work in Ireland?
