Construction Skills

Certification Scheme

FOREWORD

Registration schemes have been provided for construction occupations, such as Scaffolding and

plant operation, for several years. The aim of the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) is

to extend certification across the whole industry.

Experience of existing schemes has convinced employer organisations and the trade unions

responsible for CSCS of the benefits of certification to the industry for employers, operatives and

clients. Improvements in the quality of workmanship and standards of health and safety, which

follow from the creation of a more qualified workforce, are in the interests of everyone.

The Construction, Design and Management (CDM) regulations add to the need for firms to maintain

skilled workforces that are aware of health and safety requirements. The ability of firms to

compete and of individuals to obtain work, is becoming more dependent on the proven evidence of

skills.

The introduction of National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) and Scottish Vocational Qualifications

(SVQs), and the growing number of people working in the industry, who hold these qualifications,

provided the basis for the Scheme. In future, and as NVQs and SVQs are improved with

experience, ability to do the job will be reflected to a greater extent in the qualifications people

hold. The competences in NVQs and SVQs are at the core of CSCS.

Following the introduction of each occupation, for a limited period, those who do not possess NVQs

or SVQs will be able to become members of the Scheme through industry accreditation. Individuals

will be able to apply for membership and employers can support their applications, on the basis of

comparing their skills with the relevant industry standards. In considering an individual’s

competence, the employer should also take account of other achievements, such as an

apprenticeship, a pass in the relevant skills test, and City and Guilds and SQA qualifications.

The industry accreditation period for most of the larger trades is now closed. However, the

Scheme now offers a temporary card for experienced workers who are prepared to complete their

NVQ or SVQ assessment within a 3-year period.

3

An important requirement for membership of the Scheme for all applicants is the need for evidence

of valid health and safety awareness.

Another underlying aim of the Scheme is to encourage the improvement of skills by setting

benchmarks for future achievement. CSCS offers a trainee category and the opportunity exists for

The Scheme is available on a voluntary basis to operatives in employment and to those who are

self-employed across all sectors of the industry. Operatives who are currently unemployed or

temporarily out of the industry may also apply.

CSCS exists to meet the industry’s need and is evolving with experience as previous schemes have

done. It does not seek to duplicate existing schemes, and every effort has been made to keep it

simple.

The members of the Management Board wish to thank all those who, through their assistance and

support, have contributed to this development.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) is controlled by a Management Board,

whose members are from the following bodies:

Construction Confederation

Federation of Master Builders

GMB Trades Union

National Specialists Contractors Council

Transport & General Workers Union (Building Crafts Section)

Union of Construction, Allied Trades and Technicians

Construction Industry Training Board

Construction Industry Council

Confederation of Construction Clients

Observer members include the Department of Trade and Industry and the Health and

Safety Executive.

1.2 The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) administers the Scheme.

2

AIMS OF THE SCHEME

2.1 The Scheme aims to:

• keep a record of workers in the construction industry who have achieved a recognised

level of competence and to provide a means of identification

• be available on a voluntary basis to construction workers whose occupations are not

covered by a certification scheme

• raise standards of health and safety to reduce risks and accidents throughout the

industry

• encourage construction employers to use skilled workers

• provide certification for UK workers that could be accepted in Europe through

agreements with other European national schemes to mutually recognise qualifications

• be self-financing; with any surplus funds being used for the benefit of the Scheme.

5

BENEFITS

3.1 The Scheme aims to provide the following benefits to individuals:

• recognition of skills, competence and qualifications

• improved health and safety awareness

• improved employment prospects

• identification of training needs to improve or update skills.

3.2 The Scheme aims to provide the following benefits to employers:

• identification of operatives, supervisors and managers with recognised skills,

competence and qualifications

• better quality of workforce

• improved health and safety awareness among the workforce

• identification of training needs to improve or update skills

• a move towards a qualified workforce, which will help to improve customer

satisfaction and the industry’s image.

4 SCOPE

4.1 The Scheme does not seek to duplicate other certification schemes for specific occupations.

Instead, these schemes may merge with CSCS but this can only happen if both schemes

agree on the terms and standards.

4.2 The Scheme covers a diverse range of construction occupations in building, civil

engineering and allied industries.

5

MEMBERSHIP

5.1 Scheme membership is confirmed through the issue of a registration card.

5.2 A range of cards is available:

• A trainee card is available for those who are registered for an NVQ or SVQ level 2 or 3

but who have not yet achieved the qualification, and trainee supervisors and

managers.

• by achieving an NVQ or SVQ level 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5

• by completing an indentured apprenticeship or employer-based apprenticeship and

supplying the documents

• by industry accreditation, which is only available for a limited time (this is now closed

for most occupations)

• by the link route, which was available between 1 June 99 and 30 November 99

• by the experienced worker route.

5.3 The rules are explained in paragraphs 8 to 16 and summarised in the table at Appendix A.

Pictures of the cards are at Appendix B.

6 HEALTH AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

6.1

All applicants must pass the construction health and safety test no more than two years

before applying for the card. There are some exemptions to this rule:

• achievement of a construction NVQ, SVQ, ICC (Intermediate Construction Certificate)

or ICA (Intermediate Construction Award)

• achievement of NVQ unit 50 or Construction Certificate module 2

• a Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) certificate (including the 2 day

refresher course)

• The National Examination Board of Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH)

Construction Certificate

7

• a CCNSG Passport to Safety (only for first time registration for operator or craft level

cards)

• FAS (Eire) Safe Pass.

These must not be more than two years old when applying for the card.

For these exemptions to apply, a copy of the certificate must be attached to the application

form.

7 TRANSITION PERIOD

7.1 There is a short time period (usually two years) when an occupation is available for

industry accreditation. Once this period is over, applicants may apply by other routes (see

paragraph 8-16).

7.2 Those who have an NVQ or SVQ in an occupation covered by the Scheme, can apply for a

card at any time.

8 SKILLED CARD – THE NVQ AND SVQ ROUTE

8.1 A skilled, five-year card is issued to NVQ or SVQ achievers, whose occupation is available

for CSCS. This route of entry is permanently open.

8.2 For this route of entry, the signature in section B of the application form is confirming that

the photograph is a good likeness of the applicant. Those who achieved their NVQ or SVQ

less than two years before applying for their CSCS card do not need any further health and

safety testing to get the card, until the card needs renewing. The achievement of most

NVQs or SVQs is accepted as evidence of competence and health and safety awareness.

8.3 For some occupations, NVQ or SVQ level 3 is not available and so level 2 is the main

qualification.

8.4 Those who initially registered for an NVQ (where CITB and City & Guilds are the joint

awarding body) after 1 January 1998, will be entitled to a free card when achieving their

NVQ level 2 or 3 (this does not apply to Northern Ireland applicants or to SVQ achievers).

8

9 SKILLED CARD – APPRENTICESHIP ROUTE

9.1 The apprenticeship route is for ex-apprentices who have recent on-site experience. This

route of entry is open permanently, and the card expires after five years.

9.2 To get a card, applicants must:

• provide proof that the apprenticeship was completed in the occupation being applied

for

• ask their employer to fill in and sign the declaration on the application form to confirm

that they have worked in the occupation on site, for at least one year within the last

three years. If an employer’s signature is not available, a Skills Test pass certificate

will be accepted

• pass the health and safety test, unless an exemption applies (see paragraph 6)

• attach City and Guilds or Scotvec (SQA) certificates to the application, (if these are

required).

9.3 Cards will be issued as follows:

• a gold card – apprentices registered with one of the awarding bodies at Appendix D

• a blue card – apprentices who were not registered with one of the bodies at

Appendix D but who have a City and Guilds craft certificate

• a gold card – apprentices who were not registered with one of the bodies at Appendix

D, but have a City and Guilds or Scotvec (SQA) advanced craft certificate

9

10 SKILLED CARD – INDUSTRY ACCREDITATION ROUTE

Note: there are only a small number of occupations that are available for industry

accreditation. Check Appendix F for the closure dates or call the helpdesk for information.

10.1 Those without an NVQ, SVQ or apprenticeship can apply for a card through industry

accreditation (but see note above). The application form must include a recommendation

from the present or previous employer.

10.2 Employers should take into account:

• the relevant industry standards (see paragraph 10.3)

• City and Guilds or Scotvec (SQA) qualifications

• a pass in a relevant Skills Test (where appropriate).

10.3 The back of the application form shows the competences for industry accreditation grade A

(blue card) and B (gold card), which the applicant should be capable of meeting to get a

card.

10.4 Industry accreditation grade A competences are based on NVQ or SVQ level 2 and industry

accreditation grade B competences are based on NVQ or SVQ level 3.

10.5 For some occupations NVQ or SVQ level 3 is not available and so there is no industry

accreditation grade B.

10.6 A health and safety test pass (unless an exemption applies see paragraph 6), which has

been achieved no more than two years before sending in the CSCS application form is

required.

10.7 There is a time limit for applying by industry accreditation, which is normally two years for

each occupation.

10.8 The card expires after five years. It can be renewed by getting an employer’s

recommendation, and passing a health and safety test (see paragraph 6.1 for more

information).

10

11 SKILLED CARD – LINK ROUTE

Note: Link was available for six months only, between 1 June and 30 November 1999. Paragraph

11 is included here only for reference and for the guidance of existing link cardholders.

11.1 Link was a temporary extension of industry accreditation and gave temporary membership

of the Scheme. It was for experienced workers only.

11.2 The entry rules are the same as for industry accreditation (see paragraph 10) but with

these exceptions:

• Link application forms could be ordered from 1 June to 30 November 1999.

• The card lasts for three years

• The card cannot be renewed. It is replaced by a skilled five-year card if during the life

of the card, the cardholder achieves an NVQ or SVQ level 2 or 3. Once the

qualification has been achieved, the cardholder requests a replacement card through

the update procedure (see paragraph 22) or a free card (see paragraph 8.4).

• If an individual link cardholder has registered for an NVQ or SVQ and completed the

profiling with an assessment centre representative prior to the expiry date on the card

then they may apply for an experienced worker card.

• All cards applied for after March 2000 expire on 30 April 2003. This means that the

later the form is sent in, the less time the cardholder has to achieve an NVQ or SVQ.

Cards issued before March 2000 expire after three years.

• The card is over-stamped LINK in red letters.

• Link was available for the 24 occupations whose industry accreditation closed on or

before 1 June 1999. The link card is not available for other occupations.

Notes for link cardholders requiring NVQ or SVQ assessment

Achieving an NVQ or SVQ does not necessarily mean going to college. There are various ways

to be assessed on site with little disruption to the working day. To find out how to organise your

assessment and get a list of assessors, phone the CSCS helpdesk. Employers who would like to

make arrangements for assessment on site, should contact their local CITB office for advice.

11

12 SKILLED CARD – EXPERIENCED WORKER ROUTE

12.1 This route is for experienced workers who have missed the chance to join by industry

accreditation or link and who have not completed an NVQ, SVQ or approved

apprenticeship. Application by this route is available permanently. The card expires after

three years.

12.2 To get a card applicants must:

• pass a health and safety test (see paragraph 6)

• ask their employer or main contractor to fill in and sign the declaration on the

application form, to confirm that they have worked in the occupation on site for at

least one year within the last three years

• register for an NVQ or SVQ level 2 or 3

• complete an NVQ or SVQ profile with an NVQ or SVQ assessment centre

representative and have the centre representative endorse Section C of the application

form.

12.3 The experienced worker card is blue with EXPERIENCED WORKER on the front. The back

of the card shows the occupation of the cardholder, without any grading. It can show

qualifications such as City and Guilds craft and advanced craft.

12.4 An experienced worker card will only be issued in one specific occupation per

person. It cannot be renewed. It is replaced by a skilled five-year CSCS card, when the

applicant achieves an NVQ or SVQ level 2 or 3 in the occupation on the card, before the

expiry date. Once the qualification is achieved, the cardholder requests a replacement card

through the update procedure (see paragraph 22). A blue card will be issued for level 2

achievers and for level 3, a gold card.

12.5 A Construction Site Operative card will not be issued to someone who has previously held

an experienced worker card.

12

13 TRAINEE CARD (CRAFT & OPERATIVE)

13.1 The trainee card is for new entrants to craft and operative occupations within the

construction industry. It acts as an identification card during on-site training periods and

shows that the holder has:

• registered for the relevant NVQ or SVQ but has not yet achieved level 2

• from 29 October 2001 attended a health and safety awareness course (for the

standards see Appendix C) or passed the health and safety test (see paragraph 6 for

exemptions).

13.2 Trainees are expected to upgrade from a red card to a blue card when NVQ or SVQ level 2

is achieved. They should upgrade to a gold card when level 3 is achieved (if level 3 is

available).

13.3 For cards issued after 29 October 2001 the card expires after three years (previously five).

13.4 TRAINEE CARD (TECHNICAL, SUPERVISORY & MANAGEMENT)

This card is for new entrants to the construction industry who are pursuing a career in

technical, supervisory and management areas. It acts as an identification card during

periods on sites and shows that the card holder has:

• provided evidence of current registration with a further/higher education college for a

nationally recognised construction related qualification

• attended a health and safety awareness course (for standards see appendix C) or

passed the health and safety test at operative level (see paragraph 6).

13.5 Trainees are expected to upgrade from a red card to a gold, platinum or black card on

completion of the appropriate qualification.

13.6 The card expires after 3 years, and is renewable for a further 3 years on application.

14 CONSTRUCTION SITE OPERATIVE CARD

14.1 The Construction Site Operative (CSO) card is for those employed in general site work. It

acts as an identification card whilst on-site.

13

14.2 The card is available by industry accreditation or by achieving an NVQ or SVQ level 1 in one

of these:

Accessing Operations and Rigging

Construction and Civil Engineering Services

Decorative Occupations

Floorcovering

Formworking

Interior Systems

Land Drilling

Plant Maintenance

Plastering

Roofing Occupations

Specialist Plant Machinery Operations

Trowel Occupations

Underpinning Operations

Wood Occupations.

14.3 Applicants must pass the health and safety test no more than two years before sending in

the CSCS application form (see paragraph 6).

14.4 The card expires after five years.

14.5 This route will remain open permanently. Subject to regular review by the Management

Board.

15 SUPERVISORY AND MANAGEMENT CARDS

15.1 Supervisor and Manager cards were introduced in June 2001 (see appendix F for lists of

occupations).

15.2 Gold supervisor cards show competence at NVQ or SVQ level 3, platinum manager cards

show competence at NVQ or SVQ level 4 and black senior manager cards show competence

at NVQ or SVQ level 5.

15.3 Those without the NVQ or SVQ can apply card through industry accreditation. They must

get two recommendations on the application form. One must be from a current employer

or immediate line manager able to confirm their level of ability. The second must be from

a person working within the same firm or a person with professional institutional

membership status e.g. MCIOB, FICE etc, working in the industry.

15.4 The back of the application form shows the activities the applicant must be capable of

meeting. There is no grading A or B.

14

15.5 In addition, they must pass the relevant health and safety test for either the supervisor or

manager level, no more than two years before applying for the card (see paragraph 6 for

exemptions).

15.6 The time limit for industry accreditation applications is three years from the date on which

the occupation opened (subject to review by the Management Board).

15.7 The card expires after five years. It can be renewed by passing the relevant health and

safety test and continued employer recommendation.

15.8 Professional qualifications will not be shown on the cards.

15.9 After industry accreditation has closed, those without NVQ or SVQ may apply for a

temporary three-year card (the rules for this card will be published in due course).

16

VISITORS CARD

16.1 Two types of Visitors Card are also available for CSCS. They provide an aid to controlling

access to construction sites for regular and for occasional site visitors, whose occupations

are not covered by other cards in the CSCS range.

16.2 REGULAR VISITORS CARD

16.3 Yellow Construction Site Visitors cards are available for regular visitors by applications only

and are issued on a personal basis, subject to

• CSCS Construction Health and Safety Test pass, unless exemption applies (see

paragraph 6)

• Photograph, fee and completed application.

They may be found useful for a range of personnel (e.g. professionals or delivery drivers)

who frequently visit construction sites. For instance, the health and safety element of the

card can potentially reduce the amount of site induction that is required.

15

16.4 OCCASIONAL VISITORS CARD

16.5 A double size visitor card is available in packs of 10 and is supplied with a neck chain.

These can be ordered from the CSCS helpdesk and may be issued temporarily to occasional

visitors at the site gates. The issue of such cards is governed by the contractors own rules

for their sites. No qualifications or tests are involved other than those required by the

issuing body (e.g. the contractor at the site gate).

16.6 These cards are designed for issue on the arrival of the visitor on site and withdrawn on

their departure.

Important Note for both Visitor cards: The issue of a regular or occasional

visitor card does not exempt the employer from their legal responsibilities to

ensure the health, safety and welfare of people visiting their construction sites.

17 OCCUPATIONS OPEN FOR CSCS CARDS

17.1 The scheme opened on 3 April 1995 and has been progressively extended to cover a wide

range of occupations. The table at Appendix F shows all occupations on the scheme and

NOTES ON CSCS CARDS

1 ORIGINAL DESIGN OF CARDS (issued 1 April 1995 – 31 October 1997)

1.1 The original design allowed for one occupation per card. The occupation and main

qualification were written on the front and other qualifications were listed on the back.

Those wishing to carry proof of competence in more than one trade had to apply and pay

for several cards. This style of card is now replaced but is valid until its expiry date.

1.2 Appendix F shows the last date to order on industry accreditation application form. Cards

will only be sent to those who send in their application form within three months after this

date. For example, a thatcher who wishes to register for industry accreditation must order

an application form by 2 October 2002 and send back the completed form by 2 January

2003. Upgrade from grade A to B industry accreditation is not available after industry

accreditation for that occupation has closed.

2 LAYOUT OF THE NEW CARD (issued from 3 November 1997 onwards, amended 1

October 1999)

2.1 The card colours have not changed although the gold colour has been improved.

Occupations and qualifications are listed on the back so that more than one occupation can

be listed on one card (at the price of one card if applied for at the same time).

2.2 The link card is identical except for the letters LINK overprinted in red on the front.

29

3 RULES AND TARIFF

• A separate application form (only one photograph) is required for each occupation.

• If the number of occupations and qualifications exceeds the space on the back of the

card, a continuation card will be sent free of charge.

• Where an applicant has a mix of occupations with NVQ or SVQ and industry

accreditation or apprenticeship, the card will be charged at the higher price of £20.

• Those who achieve higher qualifications may upgrade their card at any time.

30

APPENDIX C

HEALTH AND SAFETY

1 GENERAL GUIDANCE (with recently changed rules)

1.1 From 1 April 1995 to 31 March 2000, CSCS applicants without a recent NVQ or SVQ were

required to attend a one-day health and safety course. The course certificate was accepted

as proof of health and safety training. From 1 April 2000, all applicants must pass a health

and safety test within the two years before applying for a card, unless an exemption

applies (see paragraph 6 of the rules).

1.2 Details of the old health and safety training course and rules are given as:

• Reference for those who are exempt from the health and safety test. Employers and

training providers can also use the old course details and rules as a guide if offering the

course as preparation for the health and safety test.

• Reference for trainee card applicants who are permitted to submit a course attendance

certificate instead of a test pass certificate.

2 THE CSCS HEALTH AND SAFEY AWARENESS TRAINING COURSE

2.1 This course was specially developed to support CSCS. It is offered by training providers

and employers across the country. A list of course providers is available from the helpdesk.

For employers eligible to claim CITB grant, the rules of the current Grants Scheme will

apply.

2.2 If you wish to run the course, ask the helpdesk for free copies of the syllabus. You can

also order manuals and training materials. The course content should be based on the

topics in paragraph 4 and must be flexible and meet the requirements of specific

occupations to the satisfaction of the employer concerned. The maximum class size should

be 30.

31

3 COURSE CRITERIA

The health and safety course must meet the following criteria:

• The course is equivalent to at least one full day’s duration

• The training covers all or most of the following subjects, where relevant to the

occupation:

Accident prevention

Accident reporting

Emergency procedures

Excavations and confined spaces

Fire prevention

Health and hygiene

Health and safety at work regulations

Manual handling

Noise and vibration

Personal protective equipment

Safe use of vehicles

Other topics may be added, according to the occupation, at the discretion of employers.

You may submit an alternative course for approval. Please provide a full description of

content and programme. You must show that the above requirements have been met in

full.

4 GENERAL

4.1 Employers should be satisfied with the credentials of the organisation giving the training

and the authenticity of certificates.

4.2 CSCS reserves the right to investigate any certificate of health and safety awareness

training that is presented with an application form and will do so at their own discretion.

4.3 If an employer is CITB-registered and wishes to claim grant for an employee’s attendance,

it is their responsibility to check that the course and the provider are CITB grant approved.
