CSCS Card: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to get your CSCS card to prove your construction safety training and competence on site.

The CSCS card is an official way to prove that you have the necessary safety training and professional competence to work on construction sites.

Who it's for

This scheme is designed for construction workers who need to show they are qualified to be on a job site.

What you get

You receive a card that serves as physical proof of your skills and your safety training. Depending on your specific trade or role, these are often referred to as a site card or a gold card.

What it costs you

To get the card, you will need to pay a fee for the required health, safety, and environment test.

The catch to know

The card is not permanent. It expires every five years, and when it does, you will need to take the test again to renew it.

How to apply

  1. Ensure you have completed the required safety training for your role.
  2. Book and pass your health, safety, and environment test.
  3. Submit your application through the official provider.
