Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS cards)

What Is It?

Construction Skills Certification Scheme, simply known as the CSCS card is your way to prove your health and safety knowledge and competence specific to your trade. CSCS cards range from trainee cards (red) to senior management cards (black) so all levels of expertise are covered.

Why Do I Need It?

CSCS card is a mandatory requirement for anyone working on a construction site.

Who Is It Suitable For?

CSCS card is suitable for anyone who works or wants to work on site. It is a way of proving that they have the relevant knowledge and competence to work safely.

How Does It Work?

You will need to sit an online test which you have 45 minutes to complete, after which we will be able to inform you of your result immediately. You will be given a print out confirming your result and this form will also explain how to apply for your CSCS card. If you require training to brush up on your knowledge we can provide a one hour training session before you sit your test. Unfortunately the CSCS test cannot be assessed on site but instead will be held at our test centre in Waltham Abbey, Essex, conveniently located just off the M25/J26 and within 5 minutes from a main branch over ground train line.

How Much Does It Cost?
