Grandfather rights coming to an end, DMR Training information on what to do

Grandfather Rights Ending December 2024: What UK Tradespeople Need to Know

🚨 Heads Up, Tradespeople: Grandfather Rights Are Ending This December!

If you’re a UK construction worker who’s been riding the Grandfather Rights wave, your time is almost up! From December 2024, those rights are ending, and you’ll need your NVQ qualification to stay in the game. But don’t worry – we’ve got you covered.

WHAT ARE GRANDFATHER RIGHTS?

In case you’ve missed it, Grandfather Rights have allowed experienced tradespeople to work without updated qualifications. Any CSCS cards gained through Industry Accreditation have still been valid. However, this will all come to an end in December. 

WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

This change isn’t just about ticking boxes – it’s about being able to show your skills. Employers need to make sure that workers have up-to-date qualifications. Without the right qualifications, you could be missing out on major opportunities – or even be prevented from working on-site. 

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?

1. Check Your CSCS Card.

Look at the back of your CSCS card. If it says ‘Industry Accredited’ – it’s time to get sorted.

2. Gain Your NVQ.

This is your chance to prove your skills. We offer a range of NVQs – from Level 2 to Level 6 – so you can get the correct CSCS card.

3. Stay Ahead of the Curve.

Don’t leave it too late – get qualified now, so you can hit the ground running in 2025.
