Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) Test
WHAT: CSCS is the leading skills certification scheme within the UK construction industry. CSCS cards provide proof that individuals working on construction sites have the required training and qualifications for the type of work they carry out. The CSCS Test is a multiple choice Health, Safety & Environment Test. It is computer based and will assess you on areas of health and safety and hazards which are relevant to your specific trade. The CSCS test is designed to improve health and safety awareness and reduce accidents, injuries and deaths on construction sites.
CSCS cards are increasingly being demanded as proof of occupational competence by most Principal Contractors, public and private sector clients. With new legislation being introduced by the government, if you don’t have the right card then you won’t be allowed on to any construction site.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: To apply for a CSCS card you must have the appropriate construction related qualifications and training. In June 2014 the CSCS card rules changed. Labourers now need to pass a one day Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment, as well as passing the CSCS test before they can apply for the 5 year card. The basic CSCS test is the Operative CSCS test which is taken by the majority of workers including bricklayers, labourers and carpenters.
WHAT WE OFFER: We can offer a one day package to get clients on site in the quickest possible time. Another option is to pass the CSCS test and apply for a provisional 6 month card which is non-renewable and gives you 6 months in which to complete a Level 1 Award. If you have been refused entry on site, our same day test service, instant pass certificate and supporting letter will enable you to start work straight away.
Our tests cover numerous occupations so whatever you do in construction there will be a card that is suitable for you.
