Apply for a Bricklayer CSCS Card Now

Whether you are a time-served bricklayer with many years of experience or you are just starting out in your career, obtaining a relevant Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card is sure to help you secure lucrative new jobs in the future. CSCS cards are designed to help construction industry workers show prospective employers that they have the required knowledge and skills to do their jobs efficiently. They are recognised across the United Kingdom and have become so ubiquitous that it is now very difficult to find a new job as a bricklayer without one.

Which Bricklayer CSCS Card Should I Get?

As a bricklayer, there are 3 main types of CSCS cards you can apply for: Green, Blue and Gold. There are also 2 more, Black and White, which are intended specifically for bricklaying specialists who have moved into managerial roles.

Green CSCS Card

This card is for general labourers who are perhaps just starting out as bricklayers or still learning their craft. Before taking a Green Card test, you will first need to obtain a relevant health and safety qualification, such as the RQF Level 1, SCQF Level 4/5 or NOCN certificates.

Blue CSCS Card

Skilled bricklayers can apply for the Blue CSCS card but they will need to hold a relevant NVQ/SVQ Level 2 qualification in order to do so.

Gold CSCS Card

If you normally work in a supervisory capacity and you hold NVQ/SVQ Level 3 certification for Occupational Work Supervision or an NVQ/SVQ Level 4 certificate for a relevant supervisory/technical area, you may wish to apply for a Gold CSCS card.

Black/White CSCS Cards

If you work in a managerial position and you have a degree or HND/HNC qualification, you could apply for a Black or White CSCS card.
