If you are on site regularly and still need a black CSCS card, you will need to complete a relevant NVQ qualification (likely the NVQ Level 6 in Construction Site Management if you are a site manager). This does not mean you will need to attend college as this qualification is portfolio based and is completed remotely in your own time, in as little as 8 weeks.
Completion of the NVQ Level 6, and a pass of the CITB Health, safety and environment test will allow you to then apply for your new black CSCS card.

No. There are no entry requirements although you do need to be in a site management role so you can be assessed. If you are new to site management you will still be able to enrol onto the qualification although it may talk you longer to complete it as you pull the evidence together.
When you enrol, you are provided with a logon to our online platform. This guides you through:
- Your induction and introduction to your qualification
- Some reading material followed by questions you need to answer
- What documents you need to upload
- Your site visit requirements
- Your Assessor gets in touch within 7-10 days of your enrolment and will then give you feedback on how you’re doing each step of the way, until your completion.
Your portfolio is managed on our online Learning Platform. We have a dedicated Customer Service team in case you run into any difficulties who can talk you through how it works. There are also some helpful videos along the way to give you some hints and tips.
The qualification is completed and assessed in English although we will make every effort to accommodate any special requirements you have.
All registration fees, travel expenses and vat is included in the price. You have access to the online portfolio system for 12 months. If you have not completed by this time you will need to pay an additional £25/month for continued access.
You apply for this directly with CSkills. More information can be found at. https://www.cscs.uk.com/applying-for-cards/
Any additional needs you have will be addressed by your assessor in your initial assessment, and reasonable adjustments can be made by your assessor in order to support you to complete your qualification.
This depends on each individual. The average completion for a Level 6 is 3-6 months, however it can be completed in less than 8 weeks. You are supported by your Assessor for twelve months after which you will be dormant on our system.
This qualification is certificated by NOCN who will issue your certificate when you complete.
Once you complete your portfolio, and you have passed through our internal quality assurance process, we claim your certificate from NOCN who then sends an e-certificate, which can take up to 10 working days. We will email you an electronic copy of the certificate as soon as we receive it. Hard copies of certificates are not essential when applying for your black CSCS card. If you want a hard copy of your certificate this is an additional cost.
