NVQs to Gain CSCS Cards
Pass your NVQ and the CSCS Health and Safety test so that you are able to gain a CSCS card. Different levels of NVQs will help you gain different coloured cards and improve your employment prospects and career in the construction industry.
NVQs : Essential for Gaining CSCS Cards and Accessing UK Construction Sites
Demonstrating your competence and commitment to health and safety is crucial for obtaining a CSCS card. To progress from a red CSCS card, you will typically need to achieve an NVQ, even if you have on-the-job experience and have passed the health and safety test.
Red CSCS cards are available for supervisors or managers who are pursuing their relevant NVQ without formal qualifications. We also offer red trainee cards for those entering the construction industry with limited experience but who are registered to study for an NVQ after passing their Health and Safety Test.
Impress Potential Employers with Your Qualifications
Easily gain access to UK construction sites by obtaining a trainee red CSCS card while you study for your NVQ, as most sites require workers to hold a CSCS card.
Potential employers will value your awareness of health and safety issues, as well as your progression from a red CSCS card to a Blue or even Gold CSCS card after earning your NVQ.
Typically, you will first progress to a Blue Skilled Worker card before obtaining a Gold CSCS card for supervisors and managers, followed by a Black management card if you reach the top of your profession. Advancing through the card levels enhances your employability, but this will require a higher NVQ level.
Trade Assessments conducts NVQ assessments. To learn more about obtaining your NVQ or how it relates to gaining a CSCS card, please visit https://www.cscs.uk.com/ for further information.
