CSCS Cards: How to get a CSCS Black Managers Card
Posted on Oct 17, 2017
Over 85% of UK construction sites require each worker to hold a relevant CSCS Card on site. For most people, the most important qualification you can have in the construction industry is a CSCS Card. But what are they for?
They do two, simple things:
They let you prove that you have the skills required to do your job properly.
They also give you the relevant Health and Safety knowledge you need to be safe at work.
I need a CSCS Black Managers Card for me
If you need a Black Managers card, the good news is the process is quite straightforward.
The first step towards a Black Managers Card is getting a relevant qualification.
This means you need a construction management related NVQ or SVQ level 5, 6 or 7.
Or, have a pre-existing NVQ level 4 in construction management.
If you know you have this, that’s great you can go to the second step. If you do not, we can help you, please call 0800 130 3225.
The second step in most cases is to do a CITB Managers and Professionals Health, Safety and Environment Test.
The final step is to apply via the CSCS website, which will cost you £30. Once you have submitted the application and paid, CSCS will post your card the next working day.
