    A CSCS Card (Construction Skills Certification Scheme Card) is one of the most recognised requirements in the UK construction industry. It proves that you have the qualifications, training, and competence to work safely on site. Whether you are a labourer, skilled worker, supervisor, or manager, holding the right CSCS Card helps you secure employment and progress in your career.

    At Target Zero Training, we provide the NVQ qualifications you need to achieve your CSCS Card at every level.

    What Is a CSCS Card?

    The CSCS Card is a physical card that demonstrates your ability to work safely on construction sites. Most major contractors and employers require it before allowing you access to their sites.

    The type of card you apply for depends on your role and qualifications, ranging from Labourer Cards to Black Manager Cards.

    Types of CSCS Cards

    There are different CSCS Cards available, depending on your position and career level:

    • Green Labourer Card – For general labourers with a Level 1 qualification.
    • Blue Skilled Worker Card – For those who have completed an NVQ Level 2.
    • Gold Supervisor Card – For supervisors who hold NVQ Level 3 or 4 qualifications.
    • Gold Advanced Craft Card – For advanced craft workers with NVQ Level 3.
    • Black Manager Card – For site managers with NVQ Level 6 or 7 qualifications.
    • White Academically or Professionally Qualified Person Card – For those with degrees or professional body memberships.
