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 CSCS Health, Safety & Environment Test. There are 150 CSCS test centres nationwide including in Stirling.
What to Expect in the Test
When you arrive, the on-site staff will check your ID, confirm that you have arranged to take the exam at that time, and then take a photo as per safety regulations. The test itself takes 45 minutes to complete and includes 50 multiple-choice questions. Upon completion, you will receive a certificate of achievement that shows your score.
If you fail, you can always re-register to take the next exam three days after the first exam. You are strongly advised to purchase revision material to help you prepare for retaking the test.
