Leicester CSCS Test Overview

The CSCS Test in Leicester can be completed at a time and date that suits you. When you arrive to take the test you will need to bring a valid form of ID. Preferably a UK driving license with a photo and signature or a UK passport with the same. If you are unable to provide either you will need to provide 2 alternative forms of ID.

 

We have full information and resources on this page, but in short, you need to:

 

1. Complete the relevant CSCS qualification for the card you are applying for. Currently, Hurak only offers the Level 1 Health and safety in a construction environment course for the green card.

When you book with Hurak, we can take care of your CSCS Card Application and your CITB/CSCS test. 

                         

What happens if I fail the test?

If you are not successful the first time around, don’t worry; we can book you another test once 24 hours have passed. You cannot sit another test within 48 hours of your initial test time. You can however take the test as many times as you need to but will have to pay each time.
