Yes — most CSCS cards require a valid CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test. The test must have been taken within the last two years. We can book both the test and the card application together.
Once your application is approved and payment received, CSCS cards typically arrive within 5–7 working days by post. We'll email you your tracking reference as soon as it's dispatched.
You'll need two forms of valid ID (e.g. passport and utility bill), your booking confirmation email, and any relevant certificates or qualifications. Our confirmation email contains a full checklist specific to your test type.
Absolutely. We offer group bookings at all major test centres. Contact us directly with your team size and preferred locations and we'll arrange a dedicated slot.
The Green Labourer card is for unskilled workers, the Blue Skilled Worker card is for qualified tradespeople, and the Gold Supervisor card is for those in supervisory roles. The right card depends on your qualifications and role. Use our card checker or contact us if you're unsure.
No. CSC SCHEME is an independent booking agent that works with the construction industry. We are not affiliated with, or part of, CSCS or CITB.
We accept payment via PayPal. At checkout you can pay securely with your PayPal account or a debit/credit card, right on this site — no need to leave the page.
You can retake the test after a 24-hour cooling-off period. Contact us and we'll book your retest at the same or a different centre. Revision materials are available in your customer portal.

CSC Scheme – Construction Testing & Training Support
CSC Scheme is dedicated to supporting individuals, contractors, and businesses working within the construction sector. We provide an independent booking and facilitation service to help make the process of arranging construction-related tests and training straightforward.
We can assist with arranging requirements relating to CSCS Cards, CITB tests, and Health & Safety qualifications. Simply tell us which test or training you require and your preferred timeframe, and our team can assist with finding suitable test dates and centres.
Need your test as soon as possible? We can also monitor available appointments and cancellations, where applicable, to help you identify earlier available slots.
For construction companies managing several workers, CSC Scheme can help coordinate group bookings by assisting with suitable locations and dates that work around your team's schedule and project requirements.
Keeping qualifications and cards up to date is just as important as arranging the initial booking. Our renewal reminder service can help you stay informed about upcoming expiry dates, allowing you to plan ahead and reduce the risk of workers being unable to attend site because their required credentials have expired.
