Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS)
CSCS Tests
The Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card is the industry's largest scheme and, at present, covers 220 occupations including trades, technical, supervisory and management.
CSCS cards list the holder’s qualifications and are valid for either three or five years. It also shows they have health and safety awareness as all cardholders have to pass the appropriate CITB-ConstructionSkills Health and Safety Test.
Most contractors and clients now demand proof of competence, before allowing workers onto their sites, which is provided by a CSCS card.
Not having a CSCS card may affect your ability to work on certain sites.
CSCS Centre
At PTP Training we have an in house test centre so the candidates can take their test in a relaxed and non pressured environment. If you require help with reading and using the computer our staff will be more than happy to help.
In preparation for the test we can lend out Health and Safety revision books if you pay a £10 deposit plus £2 rent, which give you all of the questions and answers that you will be given in the test. The test consists of 40 multiple choice questions.
Your results will be printed out and you will be told immediately after you have completed the test whether you have passed or failed.
If you pass your CSCS Test you will then need to complete the CSCS Card application form, your photo will be attached it and you will then need to get your employer, either an old, current or future employer to complete the bottom section of the form which you return to us.
Cost of the test if £57.50 and all fees are inclusive of test, photograph, administration and CSCS Card.
