Thank you

Thank you! For someone who has experienced many set backs in finding my way around to getting my cscs green card, even down to the struggles I have experienced on the website in regards to accessing the exam on my account, not to mention the overwhelming anxiety awaiting my results. Ali Jamil has displayed an outstanding level of professionalism, ensuring all needs are met and problems resolved in a timely manner. His positive, productive and reassuring attitude towards his work is unmatched. I can truly say that Ali Jamil has set the pinnacle in customer service and I thank him greatly for his help and support as I am extremely grateful.

CSCS at home

The convenience of purchasing from get-licenced and completing the cscs course at home at my own place.

Not sure where to start?
We'll clear it up!

CSCS Cards are issued as part of the Construction Skills Certification Scheme. The scheme aims to increase safety on construction sites and to ensure that those working in the construction industry have the necessary health and safety knowledge. Having a card contributes towards the overall safety and standard of a construction site.

The CSCS Card is not a legal requirement but is highly recommended, as many contractors only employ those that have the card. Some construction projects may also have certain conditions regarding CSCS Cards, meaning you will need the card to work at certain sites.

The application cost to obtain a CSCS card is £30. However, there are also other costs for external tests or courses which increase the price.

Who pays for your CSCS Card depends on the agreement that you have with your employer. Some employers will pay for their staff to obtain a CSCS Card, others will expect the employee to pay for it themselves.

It takes up to 5 working days for your CSCS card to arrive. You will need to contact CSCS directly and apply for it. Make sure that you have your assessment certificate handy, as this will be required when you apply.

The provisional card will expire after six months and it cannot be extended or renewed.

Once this card has expired a natural path to follow is to apply for the Green CSCS Labourer Card.
