    I'm not very familiar with this but I remember a mate talked about this web at some stage. I haven't needed to use it, but it looks like a good start: https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/nvqs. Best!

    What's the best way to get started on sites in London steel fixing? Can I go in as a nip hand and learn the trade that way? Anyone have any contacts in London that take on nip hands, don't see many jobs advertised for nip hands online, only for steel fixers...... And is a green cscs card good enough to start as a nip hand,which is the card I have, any help would be great

      I have at times seen the green cscs card associated to nip hand assisting steel fixers. You could contact the cscs crowd themselves to be sure.
