CSCS courses

Are you looking to get yourself or your team a CSCS card? Our test centre in Salford offers CITB Health, Safety and Environment CSCS courses to start your construction journey.

CSCS is the leading skills certification scheme within the UK construction industry. CSCS cards provide proof that individuals working on construction sites have the appropriate training and qualifications for the job they do on site. 

The Health, Safety and Environment test, more commonly known as the CSCS test, ensures a minimum level of health, safety and environmental awareness are met by workers.
