Does the Health and Safety Awareness course help with getting a CSCS card?

For many learners, yes. It is commonly used to demonstrate health and safety training and can be relevant to CSCS routes, especially for labourers and site operatives. However, requirements depend on the specific CSCS card type, so it’s best to check what applies to your role before booking.

Do I still need to pass the CITB HS&E test as well?

In many cases, yes. The CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test is a separate touchscreen-style test that is often required when applying for or renewing a CSCS card. The HSA course and the HS&E test are different things, and many applicants need both.

How long does the CITB HSA course take?

If you choose the live Virtual Classroom or In-Person training, the course takes one full day. If you choose the self-paced online eCourse, it typically takes around 4 hours to complete the learning modules before taking the exam.

Do I need any experience before taking the course?

No prior experience is required. The course is designed for beginners and is also suitable for people who have worked on sites before but want a structured refresher of modern health and safety expectations.

Can I do the CITB Health and Safety Awareness course online?

Yes. You can complete the course online either as a live virtual (online classroom) session or as a self-paced online course, depending on the option you choose at checkout. You’ll receive the same certificate as the classroom course, and it can be used as part of the route towards applying for the CSCS Green Card (alongside meeting any other current CSCS requirements, such as the HS&E test).

How long is the CITB Health and Safety Awareness (HSA) certificate valid for?

Your CITB HSA certificate is valid for 5 years from the date you complete the course. If you still need the certification after that (for example, for site requirements or a CSCS route), you’ll normally need to retake the course before it expires.

How is the Health and Safety Awareness course assessed?

At the end of your training, you must pass a 30-minute digital exam consisting of 25 multiple-choice questions. You need to score a minimum of 25 out of 30 marks to pass.

What are the "safety-critical" questions in the exam?

At the very start of your CITB exam paper, there are three mandatory safety-critical questions. You must answer all three of these correctly to pass the overall examination, regardless of how well you score on the rest of the test.

When will I get my CITB Health and Safety Awareness certificate?

You will receive your exam results on the exact same day you take the test. Once you have passed, your official CITB certificate will be processed and issued to you within 7 working days.

Will this Health and Safety Awareness course automatically give me a CSCS Green Card?

No. Passing this course is the mandatory first step. To get your CSCS Green Labourer Card, you must also pass the separate CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) 'Touchscreen' test and then submit a formal card application to CSCS.
