What is involved in the test?

The CSCS test aims to assess a candidate's understanding of various health and safety aspects, with the ultimate goal of enhancing productivity and safety on construction sites nationwide, including Southampton and Hampshire. To obtain a trade-specific card (such as Black Manager, Gold Supervisor, Blue Skilled Worker, or Green Labourer), candidates must also fulfil the requirement of completing the appropriate CSCS NVQs to showcase their occupational competence.

The CSCS card, a trusted and official certification scheme, is essential for all individuals in managerial, supervisory, site operative, and plant operative roles. Therefore, regardless of your professional position or that of your employees, obtaining this card is crucial.

As health and safety is of utmost importance to any organisation, it is imperative that all individuals are familiar with the proper procedures for specific events. Our responsibility is to fulfil this requirement by ensuring that participants in our construction training courses receive the necessary information to ensure safety in their workplace. This not only benefits the participants themselves, but also ensures a safe environment for others.
