CCDO CARDS ARE CHANGING
The design of new CCDO Cards is changing, in line with all cards in the CSCS Alliance. This change will only affect new CCDO cards issued from April 2024 onwards. All current cards with the old card design will remain valid until their expiry date.
The new card design no longer features a metal chip (‘contact faceplate’) and now displays a contactless (‘NFC’) logo in its place.
The old cards with the metal chip are still valid and will remain valid until the expiry dates displayed on the front of each card. Upon renewal, these cards will be updated to the new design. These changes apply to all CCDO cards that use CSCS card stock.
As well as the removal of the metal chip there are some minor cosmetic changes to printed text on the cards. The best way to check for a valid CCDO card (or CSCS card) is to use the CSCS Smart Check app.
Please ensure that all site access individuals and processes are updated with these changes to ensure there is no disruption to site access for individuals with the new card design.

In November 2019, the NDTG received an important statement from NOCN Job Cards regarding the Industry Accreditation ‘Grandfather Rights’ withdrawal.
This applies to any coloured card (5-year card) that has been awarded without an NVQ and solely based on Industry Accreditation, cards such as the CCDO Manager Card are included; any cards issued through Grandfather Rights will be completely removed by 31 December 2024.
However, this does not affect any red cards, such as the CCDO Labourer card, as they do not require an NVQ.
Any coloured card, except the CCDO Labourer card, HAS to have the NVQ.
No NVQ, NO 5-year renewal!
With only 7 months to go, for those on grandfather rights cards, please don't leave it too late to complete your NVQ.

UK Asbestos Training Association Ltd Why Checking Certificates Matters
Despite best efforts from UKATA, a small number of unscrupulous individuals continue attempting to create and use fraudulent certificates, putting themselves and members of the public at risk, thus highlighting the need to ensure certificate validation.
