CSCS - Construction Skills Certification Scheme

CSCS was set up to help the construction industry to improve quality and reduce accidents.

CSCS cards are increasingly demanded as proof of occupational competence by contractors, public and private clients and others.

To apply for most CSCS cards you have to pass a health and safety test and demonstrate your competence.  To find out which is the right card for you and what you have to do to apply for it check the occupations section of the website.

CSCS cards cost £30 and the ConstructionSkills Health and Safety Test is £17.50. If you are being charged more, ask your provider why.
