This course is designed for individuals who want to obtain a Green CSCS Labourer Card to be eligible for employment on a construction site in the UK. The application of the card is included as part of this packaged course.

To get a Green CSCS Labourer Card, applicants must successfully complete the CITB Health and Safety Awareness Training Course, prior to completing a CITB multiple choice test.

A CSCS card is a certification that verifies an individual’s competence and qualifications in the construction industry. Obtaining a CSCS card is necessary to demonstrate one’s eligibility to work on construction sites and to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.

While the CSCS Card is not legally mandated, it is strongly advised, as some contractors exclusively hire individuals who possess the card. Certain building projects may impose specific requirements for CSCS Cards, necessitating possession of the card in order to work at designated areas.

The Green CSCS Card is suitable for those seeking employment in the construction industry as a labourer or in a comparable introductory role. The most prevalent form of CSCS Card is the green card.

The delivery of your CSCS card may take a maximum of 5 business days, 

Green CSCS cards have a validity period of 5 years and need to be renewed after this period expires. Depending on the credentials you utilised, it may be necessary for you to retake some examinations. All CSCS cards can be order here. https://www.cscs.uk.com/applying-for-cards/

After a period of 5 years, when your CSCS Card has reached its expiration date, you will be required to submit an application for a replacement 6 months prior expiration.

Taking the CSCS card test is mandatory for all CSCS card-type applications. It tests workers’ knowledge and skills about working healthily and safely on a construction site.
