Description
Pontypool Community Education Centre can provide CITB Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) tests, which are widely recognised as the standard for proving occupational competence within the Construction Industry.
By successfully completing the CSCS card test, tradespeople can ensure they possess the necessary knowledge and skills required to carry out their work effectively and safely within construction sites.
This validation is an essential requirement for anyone seeking employment in the construction industry.
There are three types of CITB HS&E test
- Operatives – tests for a basic level of health, safety and environmental awareness. This test is required when applying for the Labourer card, the Trainee card, the Apprentice card, most Blue Skilled Worker cards and most Gold Advanced Craft cards.
- Manager and Professionals (MAP) – tests for everything in the operative test, plus additional material relevant to managers and professionals. This test is required when applying for the Black Managers card and the Academically or Professionally Qualified person cards. The MAP test was updated in June 2023 to ensure it is suitable for today’s managers and professionals, taking into consideration changes in legislation, working practices, new technology and industry needs.
- Specialists – tests for everything in the operative test, plus additional material relating to a specialist area such as supervision or working at heights. Specialist tests are required when applying for the Gold Supervisor card, as well as Blue Skilled Worker and Gold Advanced Craft cards in certain occupations.
The Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment qualification is also available to complete with us.
