Q – Where can the RCS card be used?
A – You can present your RCS card as proof of your qualifications and competences to anyone anywhere, in a private or public sector organisation. With your permission, if they have access to the internet using a PC, Mac or smartphone, they will be able to see and verify your details online.
Q - How can I join RCS as an individual and get an RCS card?
A - Please download an application form here and then return it to us by post, together with your original certificates. Please make sure you complete the form carefully following its instructions.
Q - How can my company join RCS and get RCS cards for my employees?
A - Please download a company registration form here and an individual application form here. Then complete and return the company registration form to us, and complete an individual application form for EACH employee that you wish to register. Please post the completed forms to us accompanied by the ORIGINAL certificates for the qualifications that your employees wish to add to their RCS cards.
Q – Why must I give my email address and a password to check the details of a cardholder?
A – Every online check of cardholder details is logged and stored on our secure servers. The system requires an email address and password to identify the person carrying out the check. Should a future incident occur, for your protection, the log can provide proof of when a check was made and by whom.
Q – If I check a cardholder’s details is this check recorded?
A – Yes. Every check is logged and the details are stored on our secure servers for 7 years.
Q – Can I save the cardholders' details that I check?
A – Yes. You can print the details displayed on your PC, Mac or smartphone, or send them to your Inbox as a PDF attachment. Each report is time and date stamped along with the verifier's details.
Q – How will RCS save me time and money?
A – An RCS cardholder’s competences can be checked in less than a minute which means they can arrive at their place of work more quickly. This saves them time so they can get more done. For a cardholder or their employer their overall cost-savings are usually substantially higher than their monthly subscriptions. Verifiers can use RCS services FREE of charge. Verifiers also save time and money - checking qualifications and competences with RCS takes a fraction of the time and administration resources consumed by traditional verification methods.
Q – Will my personal details be secure?
A – Yes. All cardholder and verifier details are stored on secure servers. Information can only be accessed by authorised cardholders and registered verifiers. No information is shared with any other party.
Q – What happens if my card is lost or stolen?
A – Please call us immediately by telephone on 0800 612 6062. We will then disable access to your personal details online and arrange for a replacement card to be sent to you. Your old card will then be permanently disabled and will no longer work with our systems.
Q – My employer currently pays the monthly subscription for my RCS card. What happens if I change jobs?
A – Please let your new employer know that you are an RCS cardholder. In many instances they will be happy to pay your monthly subscription for you. If they will not pay, and you wish to continue benefitting from RCS membership, please let us know and send us your completed direct debit form. Your subscriptions will then be taken by direct debit from your personal account each month.
