Requirements, Qualifications
& About CSCS?

Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) cards provide proof that individuals working on construction sites have the appropriate training and qualifications for the job they do on site. By ensuring the workforce are appropriately qualified the card plays its part in improving standards and safety on UK construction sites.

What are the requirements for obtaining a CSCS Card?

If you wish to apply for, or renew a CSCS Card, booking and passing the HS&E test is the first step you will need to take.

Health and Safety is key to any organisation and it is imperative that everyone understands the health and safety procedures during specific events. Our role is to provide just that. We ensure all participants in our construction training courses get the necessary information so they are safe at the workplace.

The ultimate aim of this test is to examine a candidates’ knowledge of a broad range of key aspects of health and safety, which will in turn improve safety and general productivity on construction sites in the UK. To obtain a trade-specifc CSCS card, be it a Green Labourer, Blue Skilled Worker, Gold Supervisor or Black Manager card, candidates must also demonstrate their occupational competence by completing the relevant NVQ.

How do I get the qualifications for a Labourer card?

If you have a green CSO card that expires after 1st July 2014, you will need to provide evidence that you have achieved one of the following:
