Do not use this company! Currently 8 months waiting for cscs card

I completed both parts of my labourer cscs card in june 2023.
Despite having multiple phone conversations since, and being repeatedly told "there are delays, i will put you on the priority list, you will have your cscs card within 15 days"(including email confirmation) i still have no cscs card. It has now been 8 months. It is completely ridiculous how a company can be allowed to operate this poorly.

Terrible if you need a replacement.

I lost my CSCS card at the end of December. I called them to ask if I could get a replacement. I paid £68 on the 2nd January & have still not received my replacement card.

I have called multiple times & been messed around. When asking where the card is I've been told they are unable to find my details but when I ask them for a refund, all of a sudden they've found it & it is being sent out.

The latest interaction with them has been today where I have no been told the 2 previous applications had not been completed.

Absolutely shocking, if the card is not here within 2 weeks I'll be requesting a refund through my bank.

Dont send CSCS card

This is an awful company to deal with. They simply don't get the CSCS card sent to you. I've been chasing this for two years now, TWO YEARS! and they still haven't managed to get a card into my hands. I've been told repeatedly that it will arrive in 14 days, but it never does. Basically just thieves and annoying ones at that.

Issuing of CSCS White Card

White card expired in Sept 23. Bombarded with phone calls to book test and pay for card. Failed test first time round in early Oct 23 again bombarded with phone calls to set up re-test. Passed second time, rang early Dec asking why card not issued, was asked to send copy of my qualifications, which i duly did. Asked by e-mail if they needed anything else to progress the issuing of card .... no reply. Chatted online today (24/01/24) still no card and requested a call back. Was told 10-15 working days for issuing of card! Very, very poor customer service after they have got your money. Passed test on 10 Oct and still waiting for card on 24 Jan!! Not good enough!!

Never again

I wish I'd have read the reviews before booking through this company. Same as the other people, I'm without a card having taking the test last November, apparently there's a 'backlog', my advice is don't be bombarding people with phonecalls and emails to use your company when you can't provide a service. This issue can put people out of work! Not good enough! It's easy to renew your card yourself without this hassle, I definitely will not be using this service/company again. Time will tell if I actually receive my card. Please don't bother with your automated response, it's not good enough.
