A scanned copy of your qualification certificate, or proof that you are registered to complete a recognised construction related qualification relevant to your occupation. This will need to be uploaded as part of your application.
The CITB test ID number from your CITB Health, safety and environment (HS&E) test, this can be found at the top of your pass certificate. You must have passed the appropriate test within the last 2 years.

Individuals with construction-related academic qualifications should apply for the Academically Qualified Persons (AQP) card, available for specific degrees, HNDs, HNCs, CIOB Certificates, and NEBOSH diplomas. CSCS does not accept academic qualifications for the Black Manager card. The Black Manager card is reserved for those with relevant Construction Management NVQ/SVQ levels 4, 5, 6, or 7, which assess practical skills and knowledge. The two cards represent different qualifications but are issued at equivalent levels. The occupation listed on the reverse of the card is what matters. Both cards may have "Management" listed on the reverse, depending on the qualification.
The test is a multiple-choice assessment focusing on health, safety, and environmental matters in construction. It is available for booking at various locations across the UK. For further information on the test and how to make a booking, please refer to CITB Test page.
