Level 1 Health and Safety Training in a Construction Environment (Leading to CSCS Green Card)

We now offer the Level 1 Health and Safety in a Construction Environment training course and can deliver the final assessment direct to you using our market-leading examination system. Completing this course and exam enables you to apply for your CSCS Green card.

A CSCS card is a Construction Skills Certification Scheme card. It is a UK-wide scheme that was set up to improve safety and standards in the construction industry. The card shows that the holder has the training and qualifications needed to do their job safely. Most construction companies will not allow workers on-site who do not have a CSCS card, so if you want to work in construction, it is important to get one.  

Before you can apply for a green CSCS card you must complete a recognised health and safety qualification, such as our Level 1 Health and Safety in a Construction Environment training course, and pass the Level 1 Health and Safety in a Construction Environment Accredited Exam.

Our market-leading examination system delivers the final assessment direct to you via the internet, invigilated using screen sharing and webcam, allowing you to receive your accreditation quicker and easier without the stress and hassle of visiting a training and exam centre. 

First you will need to complete the Online Level 1 Health and Safety in a Construction Environment course, once a pass is achieved you must then pass the fully accredited exam to obtain the certificate.   

Once you have completed both the course and exam, you can then apply for your Green CSCS card. This will involve sitting the CITB Health, Safety & Environment test (also known as the CITB HSE touch screen test.)

In order to do the touch screen test, you must book it directly with the CITB at one of their training centres.  When booking your touch screen test, you will be asked to provide your certificates as evidence of completing your relevant training. This will be provided to you on completion of the training course and subsequent exam.
