CSCS Cards

Pro Aspire Rail & Construction Training

The Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) operates within the UK construction industry and issues cards to construction workers with the appropriate qualifications for their roles.

A CSCS card proves that the card holder is fully qualified in their construction trade and has passed the mandatory health and safety test.

Most major construction companies will require their employees or contractors to own a CSCS card before they can work on site.

There are a variety of CSCS Cards, please read below the requirements needed to obtain each card.
