CSCS Green Card - 1 Day Course

To get a construction job in the UK today, most construction sites require you to have a CSCS Card. The CSCS Green Labourer Card allows individuals to work on sites in entry-level positions; it is issued as part of the Construction Skills Certification Scheme and is valid for five years.

Carrying a CSCS Green Card demonstrates that you have the appropriate knowledge and skills for the job.

After completing the Green CSCS Card Course, you’ll become eligible to apply for the CSCS Green Card. Getting the CSCS Green Card will help you get work on a construction site as a labourer (bricklayer, carpenter, plumber, etc.).

The Green CSCS Card Course is a one-day course that lasts for a lifetime. That’s why it’s the most frequently opted qualification for getting a CSCS Labourer Card.

A CSCS Green Card is for non-skilled workers in the construction industry. However, if you work in a skilled occupation you would need to take a CSCS NVQ qualification.

How to get your CSCS Green Card

Getting a CSCS Green Card is a simple 3-step process:

Step 1 - Complete this course for your Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment. Choose from a self-paced or in-class option to fit your schedule and preference.

Step 2 - Pass the CITB Health, Safety & Environment Test (HS&E), commonly referred to as the CSCS Test or CITB Test.

Step 3 - After completing both the Level 1 Health & Safety and the CITB HS&E Test, you can apply for the CSCS Green Card.

Frequently Asked Question

What is the CITB Health & Safety Test for Operatives?

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) is the council that works to promote health and safety within the UK's construction industry.

The CITB Health and Safety Test provides an introduction to operating safely on a construction site. Construction workers who have cleared this test help give assurance to employers that their workforce is and can continue to be safe at work.

Having cleared this test in the past 2 years is also a requirement in order to apply for the CSCS Green Card.

What does CSCS stand for, and what are CSCS cards?

CSCS stands for 'Construction Skills Certification Scheme'.

The CSCS Authorities issue the CSCS Cards as proof that their cardholders have sufficient health and safety knowledge to perform their duties safely on construction sites.

Is it illegal to work on site without a CSCS card?

Working without a CSCS card is not a legal requirement. However, the industry itself introduced the cards under advice from the government, which is why many construction sites and major contractors require their workforce to have a valid CSCS card on them.

What sort of jobs can I apply for with this qualification?

The CSCS Green Labourer Card allows individuals to work on construction sites in any entry-level position, including general labouring, painting and decorating, tiling, and traffic management.

How long is my qualification valid for, and is it approved by CITB and CSCS Authorities?

This qualification is valid indefinitely, which means you will never have to do this course again.

Also, our training courses have been approved and are accepted by both CITB and CSCS.

What documents do I need to bring with me on my course?

Candidates are required to provide 1 photographic identity document. Some examples of these are:

Passport of any nationality - Driving licence photocard of any nationality - Residence permit of any nationality - Valid EU photo ID card.

If you don't have any of the above, please contact our support team at 0333-344-1293 or email us at [email protected] to ask our staff for alternatives.

Will I get a CSCS Green Card from Hurak at the end of the training?

No, CSCS issue all their cards themselves.

In order to apply for the CSCS Green Card, you will need to:

Complete our Level 1 Health & Safety in a Construction Environment (L1HSCE) course. At the end of your course, Hurak will provide you with an E-Certificate. You will need to email a copy of your certificate to [email protected].
You must have passed the CITB Health & Safety Test for Operatives within the past two years. If you need to do the CITB test, it will cost you around £22, and you can book it directly through CITB. Have the ID number from your CITB test ready. This can be found at the top of your pass certificate.
With the above 2 steps cleared, you can now go ahead and apply for the card by calling CSCS on 0344-994-4777. The fee for the green card is £36.00 and the card is valid for 5 years.
