There are two routes to obtain a CSCS Card through an apprenticeship.
Employers Apprenticeship (Blue & Gold Card)
The applicant will need to provide a copy of the final completion certificate from the employer with whom they completed the apprenticeship with details of when it was completed. They will also need to provide copies of the Individuals City & Guilds (Craft or Advanced) Certificates when applying via this method.
The applicant will obtain a blue CSCS Card if they have the Employers Apprenticeship and Craft City & Guilds and they will obtain a gold CSCS Card if they have Advanced Craft City & Guilds Certificates with the Apprenticeship Papers.
Approved Apprenticeship (Gold Card)
The applicant will need to provide copies of their fully Indentured Apprenticeship papers gained through the provider of the apprenticeship eg NJCBI Papers. Different providers will have different types of certificates for their apprenticeship.
The individual can provide City & Guilds Certificates with this as well, which will be endorsed on the reverse of the card.
For both of these routes, applicants will also have to pass a ConstructionSkills health and safety test.
