Q. How do I get a CSCS Labourer Card?
Two main requirements:
You will need to pass a Level 1 Award in Health & Safety in a Construction Environment (www.learninglounge.com/cscs) or an approved alternative
You will need to pass the CITB HS&E test at a local test centre Book Direct with CITB HERE. View the CITB test centre map HERE
Order card from CSCS. Upload qualification certificate and insert your HS&E test reference number.
Q. How long does my Labourer Card last?
The Card lasts 5 years and each time is a new application and not a renewal. If you have a Level 1 Award such as the City & Guilds qualification, it is classed as an 'evergreen' qualification, and you will only have to pass it once, however you will still have to sit the CITB HSE Test each time you reapply for your site card.

Passport (UK or International)
