Why Should You Get a CSCS Card?

In the UK, construction industries require workers to be knowledgeable and qualified before entering construction sites. The CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) ensures that workers’ skills and competence are properly assessed. Based on this assessment, workers are assigned the appropriate CSCS card to match their responsibilities on-site.

What is the CSCS Red Provisional Card?

The CSCS Red Provisional Card is for individuals who are new to the construction industry or those who do not have any qualifications yet. It serves as a provisional card while workers gain experience and work toward obtaining a more advanced qualification.
