Our flexible options mean you can get your training, sit your test, and apply for your card all in one convenient location.

Why a CSCS Card Matters

The Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card proves that you have the right skills, qualifications, and health & safety knowledge to work on a construction site. While it’s not a legal requirement, most employers insist workers hold a valid CSCS card.

Benefits of having a CSCS card include:

• Better job opportunities in the construction industry

• Proof of your competence and safety awareness

• Improved site safety for you and your team

The type of card you need will depend on the skills you have, the qualifications you hold, and your occupation. The card finder tool on the CSCS website can help you find out which card is right for you, or you can contact us, and we can guide you.
