CSCS - The Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) is designed to improve the quality of work construction workers do and also improve safety on construction sites. To get CSCS qualified you must pass a CSCS Exam and get a CSCS Card. Construction Support Line can book your CSCS Exam and apply for your CSCS Card for you simply and efficiently.

CSCS Card - A CSCS Card is required to work on the vast majority of construction sites in the UK. CSCS Cards show that you have the skills required to do your job and a knowledge of relevant health and safety procedures. CSCS Cards are graded in a structured system starting with the Red CSCS Card and ending with the Black CSCS Card. Remember CSCS Cards are necessary if you want to work on most of the UK's construction sites.
