CSCS

CSCS is the leading skills certification scheme within the UK construction industry. Their cards serve as proof that individuals working on construction sites possess the necessary training and qualifications for their roles, aiming to enhance industry standards and safety. It is important to note that CSCS itself does not provide courses, training, qualifications, or exams. While holding a CSCS card is not a legal requirement, most principal contractors and major house builders mandate that workers on their sites have a valid card before granting access. Those whose occupation is not directly related to construction are generally not expected to carry a card. The My CSCS app is presented as the most efficient method for applying for or renewing a CSCS card, acting as a digital skills passport for individuals in the construction sector.
