CITB Test FAQs

Who are the CITB?

CITB (Construction Industry Training Board) is the recognised training board for the UK construction industry. CITB is best known for the CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) Test, which is required to obtain CSCS cards and access construction sites across the UK.
The CITB HS&E Test helps ensure construction workers understand site safety, hazard awareness, and health and safety regulations. CITB supports industry standards by promoting safe working practices and recognised construction qualifications throughout the sector.

What is the CITB Test?

The CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) exam checks your knowledge of site health and safety, hazard awareness, and environmental practices.
The exam lasts 45 minutes and includes 50 multiple-choice questions. You'll need 45 correct answers to pass. The test is available in three levels: Operatives, Specialists, and Managers & Professionals (MAP), depending on your role in construction, ensuring the appropriate level of health and safety competence for your position. 

Why take the CITB Test?

Passing the CITB test demonstrates your understanding of essential health and safety standards on site. It's required before applying for a CSCS card, which proves your competence and qualifications to employers. Without a valid CITB test pass, you may be refused construction site access across the UK.

Which CITB Test do I need?

There are different types of CITB HS&E tests depending on your role:

How to book your CITB Test

Booking your CITB test takes less than two minutes.

1. Choose your nearest CITB test centre (over 150 locations nationwide)

2. Select your date, test type, and complete your secure online payment.

3. Receive your confirmation email with test date, time, and location.

How much is a CITB Test?

The CITB test costs £45, which includes the official £23.50 exam fee, booking support, and VAT. You can also reschedule or retake your test free of charge in some cases.

What identification do I need on test day?

You’ll need to bring valid photographic identification that matches the details used when making your booking. If you arrive at the test centre without an acceptable ID, you may not be allowed to sit the test.

Can I change my test date after booking?

In most cases, yes, you can change your test date after booking, as long as you give enough notice. If your circumstances change after you’ve booked yourself in for the CITB test, contact us as soon as possible, and we’ll go over your options.

What happens if I fail the CITB Test?

If you don’t manage to achieve the mark you need to pass, you’ll need to book another test before you can apply for your CSCS card.

Can I retake the test?

Yes, you can retake the CITB test. There is no limit on how many times you can retake the assessment. Before booking yourself in for the test, we’d recommend that you spend some extra time revising to improve your chances of passing first time.

What happens after you pass?

While passing the CITB Test is an important milestone, it isn’t always the final step. Depending on the CSCS card you’re applying for, you may also need to complete an approved qualification or training course before submitting your application.

For example, if you are applying for a Green Labourer Card, you will normally need to complete a recognised Health & Safety Awareness course as well as pass the CITB test. Once you’ve met all the requirements, you can apply for your CSCS card. Once you receive your card through the post, it’s always wise to check your CSCS Card status to verify its validity.

How long is the CITB Test valid for?

When you pass the CITB Test, the certificate you get will be valid for two years when applying for a CSCS card. If your certificate expires before you complete your application (whether you’re applying for the first time or a renewal), you’ll need to take the test again.

Do I need to complete a Health & Safety course as well?

That will depend on the type of CSCS card you’re applying for. If you are looking to apply for a Green Labourer Card, then yes, you will also need to complete the Level 1 Health & Safety Awareness Course. Unlike the CITB test, the qualification you get when you pass the Level 1 (HS&A) Course doesn’t expire, so you only need to complete it once.
