Plasterer CSCS Card
Schedule a Plastering CSCS Card Test
To work as a plasterer on almost any construction site in the UK, you will need to possess a valid Plasterer CSCS Card. Whilst it may be possible to find some positions that do not require applicants to hold a valid CSCS card, you will miss out on some of the best plastering job opportunities if you do not have one. Fortunately, the process of acquiring a card is relatively straightforward. Assuming you have the necessary qualifications, all you will need to do is book a test via our website. But first, you need to decide which CSCS card to apply for.
Choosing the Right Plasterer CSCS Card
- Red Card – The red card is designed for trainees. If you are just starting a career in plastering and you have yet to gain any NVQ qualifications, this is the right card for you to apply for.
- Blue Card – If you hold a Level 2 NVQ/SVQ qualification in a field that is relevant to plastering, you can apply for a Blue Plasterer CSCS Card. This card is designed for skilled workers.
- Gold Card – With a Level 4 technical/supervisory NVQ/SVQ certificate and supervisory experience, a Gold CSCS Card is the right choice for you. If you don't have a Level 4 NVQ/SVQ qualification but you have a Level 3 Occupation Work Supervision certificate, you can still apply for a Gold card.
- Black Card – Plasterers who have managerial experience and a degree, HNC or HND qualification can apply for a Black CSCS Card.
Deciding which card is right for you
There are a number of different types of CSCS Card that plasterers in the UK may apply for. When deciding which one is right for you, you need to consider your level of experience, your existing qualifications and the type of plastering positions you wish to apply for in the future.
