What are CSCS Cards?

CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) is the leading construction qualification scheme in the UK.

The scheme issues several CSCS card types, which can be presented on-site to prove that you have the appropriate qualifications to carry out your role safely.

Although not a legal requirement, many sites will not allow you access without the appropriate CSCS card.
