As the construction industry faces a critical transition, DSG Academy stands at the forefront, providing essential training and qualifications to upskill the workforce.
With the impending expiration of Industry Accreditation (IA) cards, commonly known as “Grandfather Rights” cards, by December 2024, obtaining a nationally recognised qualification is no longer optional but a necessity for continuing work on construction sites. DSG Academy is here to help workers navigate this transition smoothly and secure their careers in the evolving industry.
The Urgency of Upgrading Skills
The deadline for the IA cards, particularly those issued from January 2020, is fast approaching, with an expiration date of December 31, 2024. For older cards, the renewal process concludes on June 30, 2024.
The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) has mandated that all construction workers must possess qualifications that demonstrate their competence. This directive aims to elevate safety and competency standards across the industry, ensuring a more skilled and reliable workforce.
Act Now
Failing to secure the necessary qualifications could lead to job disruptions. From 2025 onwards, unqualified workers will be barred from working on construction sites, making it imperative for individuals to act now to avoid future employment challenges.
DSG Academy offers flexible assessment options to accommodate the busy schedules of construction professionals. These assessments can be conducted on-site and include professional discussions and practical observations, allowing workers to achieve qualifications without significant interruptions to their work.
Support and Funding
To ease the financial burden of obtaining these qualifications, DSG Academy highlights the availability of grants from the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB). These grants can significantly reduce the costs associated with the necessary training and assessments, making it more accessible for workers to comply with the new regulations.
