Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a CITB Managers and Professionals test score remain valid?
Your pass certificate remains valid for exactly 2 years. Your physical CSCS Black or White card application must be submitted to the CSCS portal before this 2-year window expires.
What is the passing score for the CITB MAP Test?
The pass mark is 45 out of 50 (90%). Because this test is for senior management positions, the scoring criteria are much stricter than the standard operative exam.
What identification must I bring along to the test centre?
You must present a valid, unexpired photo ID—such as a UK Driving License or Passport. The name on the ID must align identically with your test booking registration name.
Can I book a retest immediately if I fail?
Yes, but you must observe a mandatory 48-hour waiting period enforced by CITB rules before sitting the Managers and Professionals exam again. A new booking fee applies for a retest.
