i know this argument is on going but everywhere you still look for jobs most of them are asking for cpcs which i did have till a couple of years ago then went npors.So when in tyneside are the recruitment agencys and employers go to ask for either ticket or equivalent,i've been unemployed now for 4 weeks my last employer wasnt bothered and 2 years ago i got a contract on the brecon to west tirley pipeline for p.p.s who were'nt bothered either but lately because of haveing npors i've lost 2 jobs which i was offered till they read my c.v and both said we only do cpcs?

CPCS and the rest of these 'required' tickets is a scam..nothing more - a means with which, to control the masses.

It's about time the so-called industry leaders woke up and faced the fact that in order for them to get good, skilled men on their sites they have to stop behaving like sheep.
