What Is a CSCS Card?

A CSCS card provides evidence that a construction worker has the appropriate training, qualifications or experience for their role on a construction site.

The card you need depends on the type of work you carry out and the qualifications or training you hold. CSCS provides different card routes for labourers, skilled workers, supervisors, managers, apprentices, trainees and professionally or academically qualified people.

Holding the appropriate CSCS card can be an important requirement for accessing construction sites. CSCS recommends using its card-finding guidance to identify the card appropriate for your occupation and circumstances.

What Do I Need to Apply for a CSCS Card?

The requirements depend on the type of CSCS card you are applying for.

For many applications, you will need:

  • A relevant construction qualification or evidence that you are registered to complete a relevant qualification
  • The appropriate CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test or an approved alternative, where required
  • Your CITB test ID or relevant test information
  • Personal details that match your qualification and test records
  • Any additional evidence required for your particular card type

CSCS currently states that the appropriate HS&E test normally needs to have been passed within the previous two years, unless an approved alternative applies.

If you are unsure whether your qualification or test meets the requirements for a particular card, contact us before applying.

CSCS currently identifies three main HS&E test categories: Operatives Specialists Managers and Professionals (MAP) For example, the Operatives test is used for a number of entry-level and skilled worker routes, while the MAP test is required for certain manager and professional applications. Specialist tests can apply to particular supervisory and occupational routes. The CITB HS&E test itself is booked through CITB.
