see if they will confirm it with the main contractor, cos the backlog is so big all the checks have been put back to 02/07 for getting on site (if that makes sense)

John,
        Take the working at height course, pay about £30 and they send you a book of questions and answers. Then go and take the test, usually at the nearest driving test centre, it will only take about 15 minutes. There are other tests but we went on that one.
