Similarly, as they go up, they must enrol on longer qualifications.<\/p><p><strong>Are CSCS cards a legal requirement? <\/strong><br \/>No, CSCS cards aren\u2019t required by law. It\u2019s just that having these cards increases your chances of landing a better job since many employers prefer that you get this card.<\/p><p><strong>Who needs a CSCS card? <\/strong><br \/>Those who\u2019re working on a construction site should get a CSCS card.
