My name is Mat
I would like to share my success story. Firstline has helped me to find a job at the Olympic site as a water and hygiene operator.
I would come everyday to Firstline
For me to practice and get help from firstline team for my CSCS test.
I would use the computer at Firstline
And do a mock test. It was all about practice, I would get a question wrong and I would go through it with help and get it right the next time. It was hard but I did it at the end.
This is my CSCS card which allows me to work in a construction site
For me to work at the Olympic site I had to pass my CSCS test which is about health & safety at work. Their is 40 questions on the test, I need 34 to pass. I failed my first test but I passed my second test with high marks.
After passing my CSCS I had to go for my induction
At the end of the induction I received two badges. One was a ID card to be on site and the second one was for me to pass the security gates to allow me to work at the Olympics.
This is when we went for the Olympic tour
It was a fun day and nice to see how the Olympic village was looking more closely.
