Last chance of funding for Level 3 training for the Gold FISS/CSCS Supervisors Card

On the 1st August the funding rules change and some of the training currently funded will no longer be supported. So now is the time to act.Gold FISSCSCS From the 1st August 2013, the current funding for Level 3 qualifications will stop and be replaced by student loans. Many sites are now requiring a Gold card holder to be on site at all times.
