Improve your employment chances by gaining your CSCS card.

Since July 2014, those looking to apply for a CSCS card need to complete a Level 1 Health and Safety in Construction Environment qualification, as well as pass the CITB Health, Safety and Environment test.

During the course of the day you will complete the Health and Safety workbook and be able to gain feedback and support through the course tutor.

This will then be followed by a two-hour revision session and online test before we arrange the on-site exam. Once you have completed these elements, we will support you to undertake the CITB Health, Safety and Environment test at a local test centre in Canterbury.

This will be an additional cost to yourself.

Once you have secured your CSCS Card you will be able to secure employment on construction sites.
