That's the construction industry training board.
I know they have a lot to do with government training centres etc.
Do a google search for them and get contact numbers.

Joe, I thought CITB had been replaced by construction skills, I may be wrong:yikes:

The names do go about Phil but I thinks it's all the same.
I know I have citb skills certificates somewhere.
Seems odd for tesco to be asking for it?

I think your info may be wrong.Unless you are going to be a supervisor you should only need cscs health & saftey cert & a cscs card for tiling.If youre dealing direct with tesco youre very lucky,are you working though a contractor?

This is the test i need to sit SSSTS | 2 Day CITB Site Management Safety Training Scheme Supervisor's Course

Mostly tile Tesco and Sainburys supermarkets althrough did the new morrisons in minehead last year

That does not sound right to me.Do you haved cscs H&S cert & cscs tiler.

 

[GC-Terrazzo]

Yes have my cscs card and all my labours have them, but been told as i'm in charge of them i must have the supervisors card or Tesco wont let me on any new jobs.

If you are working directly with Tesco & you are where the buck stops then you need the supervisers ticket.but not sure if you would need citb or cscs as ive only dealt with cscs.If you are doing the work though another contractor one of their bods should already have the cards required.

I do the supermarkets through a company and there telling me i must have this card as Tesco are cracking down, they say 1 person in the gang needs to have this card. One of my mates sat the test last year, the company set the test up for him but he had to pay for it out his own pocket.
