No. We are an independent training and support provider — we guide you through the CITB test and NVQ requirements, but your CSCS card is issued directly by CSCS once your application is approved.
The CITB Health, Safety & Environment test is a knowledge exam required for every CSCS card. An NVQ is a work-based qualification that proves your trade competence — most card levels above Green require both.
Most CSCS cards need renewing every five years. Some provisional and trainee cards run on shorter cycles — we cover the detail on our CSCS Card page.
