3. How do I get a CSCS Card?
   There are two requirements set out to be eligible for a CSCS green card. You need to pass a 1-day health and safety course as well as a CITB Health Safety and Environment test. Once you have passed both, you can apply for the CSCS card. For the 1-day course, you have the choice to take the Level One Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment (computer course) OR the CITB Site Safety Plus Health and Safety Awareness Course (classroom-based).

7. What is the difference between the QCF Level One Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment Course and the CITB Site Safety Plus Health and Safety Awareness Course?
   Both courses will give you health and safety knowledge and training. Once passed, both courses end in equivalent certificates which you can use to apply for a CSCS Card (providing you have also passed the CITB test). Level One Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment runs at our centre daily and is computer-based. (Keep in mind, you do have the option to do the course training from home and just come in for the exam). CITB Site Safety Plus Health and Safety Awareness Course is class-room based with a tutor and that course runs on a monthly basis, subject to availability.
