You can apply for Blue Skilled Worker CSCS Card, if you have either:

Achieved a construction related NVQ/SVQ level 2 or SVQ at SCQF level 5.

or

Completed an apprenticeship, such as an Employer sponsored apprenticeship, a City and Guilds Craft Certificate (CGLI) or a CSCS Approved Apprenticeship Standard.

You must also pass a CITB Health, Safety and Environment test within the last 2 years, at the relevant level for the occupation being applied for. To find out if a Specialist Test, please don’t hesitate to contact us on 01274 752777 where we can talk you through this further.

This card is valid for five years and is able to be renewed, by completing a CITB Health, Safety and Environment 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 these qualifications, you have a couple of options to gain your Blue Skilled Worker CSCS Card:

  • If you are experienced in your job and are already registered to complete one of the qualifications applicable to your occupation above, you may apply for an Experienced Worker Card.
  • Undertake an NVQ L2 in a construction related field. This 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 3 – 6 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. Please contact the GEM Team for more information.

If you are an employer, looking to support your employees in gaining their Blue Skilled Worker CSCS Card, or applying for their Blue Skilled Worker CSCS Card following previously obtaining this through Industry Accreditation, there is funding support to allow you to do this with CITB. If you would like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to contact us on 01274 752777 where we can talk you through this further.
