A valid CSCS card is increasingly necessary for anyone working in the modern construction industry. Regardless of whether a site requires the card, we firmly believe that doing CSCS the training and test is beneficial for anyone going into our industry, and we are delighted to offer a limited number of FREE training spaces for people to do the training here at ACE.
According to the Construction Skills Certification Scheme, although most people are familiar with CSCS there are many views expressed regarding its purpose and what it means to have a CSCS card. To summarise:
A CSCS card is:
*A certification of the cardholder’s identity
*A certification of the cardholder’s qualifications
*A certification of the cardholder’s training
A CSCS card is not:
*A passport to gain entry to site
*A competency card
*A guarantee of a cardholder’s competence
*A Health and Safety card
*A card for off-site employees
*A certification of the cardholder’s fitness to work
*A record of the cardholder’s work experience
Holding a CSCS card verifies your identity and shows employers that you have the required training, qualfications and experience for the type of work you carry out on a construction site. Most major contractors and homebuilders require workers on their sites to hold a valid CSCS card.
