How to Gain Your CSCS Green Card

Step 1

Complete the Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment

This can be completed online or in person and involves guided learning with a short exam.

Step 2

Pass the CITB Health and Safety Test

This is a multiple-choice test that lasts 45 minutes. Book your test online or find your local centre.

Step 3

Apply for Your CSCS Green Card Online

We suggest applying for your card via the CSCS website. This costs £36 and cards are usually issued within 48 hours.

FAQs

The CSCS Green Card is for labourers, not those in skilled occupations. You may be required to hold this card to gain access on-site.

To renew your card, you will just need to re-complete the CITB Health and Safety Test.

Once you have your CSCS Green Card, you may choose to progress into a particular trade or occupation. This can be done through completing an apprenticeship or Level 2 NVQ.

The facilities were excellent and training was top quality. I was made to feel comfortable and everything was explained very well. Many thanks.
I really enjoyed the whole experience from start to finish. I had plenty of seat time on the excavator. Trainer and tester were great couldn't ask for anything more from them.
Fantastic course. Matt and Danny both had great knowledge and fantastic communication skills with us. All the guys left BAM with a high level of skill and knowledge and more importantly very safe working practices on the machines.
Enjoyed the course. Trainers were helpful, instructive and patient. There's a lot to take in but they go at a steady pace without overwhelming you with information. Equipment was in very good condition.
Found the course challenging but enjoyable. Nick had plenty of experience to guide us in the right direction. Great use of models and tools to make it understandable. Facilities were spot on and everyone was friendly and welcoming.
I have done a lot of CPCS training over years and BAM Construction Training are by far the best! Everything from the trainers, office personnel and facilities is first class. I would highly recommend them.
