I think if you are unemployed and on JSA, you can get help for getting a CSCS card. I think you still have to pay part of the cost, but not all of it. That was the route recommended to me, and booked into my local college for it. So if you're wanting a card but currently on JSA, ask. I won't add that I was then offered a job with a company that organised and paid for my card... As I don't want to use words and phrases like 'con', 'rip-off', 'tax on working', 'useless', 'takes responsibility away from where it should lie' etc. I shall refrain from voicing my views on the card itself.
