It can be quite a challenge to work out which of the 3 levels of CITB Test you need to take to be able to get the CSCS Card you need in order to work in different jobs throughout the UK construction industry.
The following information about each one of the tests will help you decide which one you should take at our Coventry Test Centre to obtain the CSCS Card you need.

This is the test you will need to take if you are looking to get a CSCS Green Card so you can work as a Labourer or a CSCS Red Card to allow you to temporarily work on a construction site for academic or professional reasons.
Despite being the most basic CITB Test, you will still need to revise and sufficiently prepare to pass.
The Specialist Test

For skilled workers who will be taking on a supervisory role on a construction site, the Specialist Test also allows them to obtain a CSCS Gold Card.
The Managers or Professionals Test
This is the highest level CITB Test and goes into much more detail about the topics covered in the other 2 tests.
Typically, the people taking the Managers or Professionals Test are those who will be taking more senior positions on a construction site.
By passing this test, you will be able to hold a CSCS Black Card (Managerial), Red Card (Technical, Supervisory, or Managerial), or White Card (Academic or Professional).
