Test prep/booking and card ordering

+£100 per person

We book your HS&E test at whichever centre is nearest you, usually the following week, and open up the Pathways Academy revision material and mock tests in the meantime. Then we order your CSCS card the moment you pass. A free retest is included if you have worked through all the videos and all the mock tests first.

Tick it when you book.

  • Identify common construction hazards and the controls that manage them

Questions

Before you book

No, and this trips a lot of people up. The Level 1 course is the qualification. The CITB HS&E test is a separate test. You need both before a card can be issued, which is exactly why our premium package bundles them into one day.

Once you have the qualification, the test and the card application in, most people are on site within a fortnight. Our premium package is the fastest route.

Yes. You need enough English to follow the discussion and read the paper. Tell us when you book and we'll make sure the pace suits you.
