NVQ Level 1: CSCS Green Card Course

CSCS Green Card Course

What is the CSCS Green Card?

The CSCS Green Card is an entry-level qualification used to access construction sites for manual labour tasks. 

Who Needs a CSCS Green Card?

The card is for Labourers, not those in skilled occupations.

Many employers require labourers to hold this card to ensure they have a basic understanding of safety on-site.

How to Achieve the CSCS Green Card

Step 1: Pass the CITB Health and Safety Test for Operatives.

Step 2: Complete the Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment.

Step 3: Apply for your CSCS Green Card online or let us apply on your behalf for a small convenience fee.

Complete our 1-day CSCS Green Card Course at our Wokingham training centre for just £260+VAT.

Important Notice

From February 1st 2025, the validity of first-time CSCS Green Cards will reduce from 5 years to 2 years. After this initial card expires, you will be able to renew your card for the usual 5 years. Please note that anyone looking to apply for or renew their card after this date will need to provide evidence that they are currently employed as a labourer.
