The Black Manager CSCS Card is available for manager and technical occupations, if you have either:

  • Construction Management/Technical related NVQ/SVQ 6 or 7
  • An SVQ at SCQF Level 10 or 11 in Construction Management/Technical related qualification

You must also pass a CITB Managers and Professionals Health, Safety and Environment test.

This card is valid for five years and is able to be renewed, by completing a CITB Managers and Professionals HS&E test at one of our CITB Test Centres – GEM can also support with applying for your CSCS Card. 

It is important to remember that all Industry Accreditation (IA) cards issued from 1st January 2020 will expire on 31st December 2024 and cannot be renewed using Industry Accreditation/Grandfather Rights. For more information about Industry Accreditation/Grandfather Rights, click here.

If you do not have one of these qualifications, GEM can support you to start your relevant qualification, to allow you to apply for this card. These qualifications can be 100% on-the-job training; you will be assessed in your place of your work. Although the length of the course depends on the learner, this can usually be completed in 9 – 12 months. GEM works closely with our close associate to deliver a range of NVQ’s and can support with arranging the correct NVQ for you.
