What is involved in the test?

The CSCS test is designed to assess an individual's knowledge of a wide range of health and safety issues which helps to enhance efficiency and safety on construction sites in Berkshire and throughout the UK. In addition, anyone wanting to acquire a Black Manager, Gold Supervisor, Blue Skilled Worker or Green Labourer card must prove they have the necessary qualifications by passing their relevant CSCS NVQs.

This official certification scheme applies to everyone from managers and supervisors, down to site and plant operatives. It is essential for anyone in a professional role to possess a CSCS card.

Health and safety is a priority for any organisation, so it's essential that everyone understands the procedures relevant to their event. We strive to ensure all participants in our construction training courses have the appropriate information necessary for them to be safe, as well as for them to make their work environments safe for others.
