The CSCS card is a way to verify that people working on construction sites have the appropriate knowledge and training. This helps prevent on-the-job mishaps that endanger everyone's health and safety. You obtain a CSCS card by taking the CITB Health, Safety & Environment Test. There are 150 CITB test centres nationwide including in Salisbury.
What to Expect in the Test
When you arrive, simply show your ID to the staff. They will then take your photo (for security purposes) and confirm your test time. After the start of the exam, you have 45 minutes to answer 50 multiple-choice questions. You will receive a certificate with your results upon completion.
If you fail the exam, you can re-register to retake it after three days. We strongly encourage you to purchase review material to prepare for the retake. You can find an overview of the materials
here.
Please be sure to use these materials, especially if this is not your first time taking the exam. This significantly increases the likelihood of getting a passing score.
