It is easy to book the course and assume the card follows. For the Green card there are two steps, and only one of them is a course.
Step one, the course
The CITB Health and Safety Awareness course is a one day class for people entering the construction industry. It introduces your health and safety responsibilities on site. You need photo ID at the start, a computer or laptop with a webcam and microphone for a live online class, and a good level of English, because it is taught in English only.
Step two, the test
The course is a minimum requirement for applying for the CSCS Green Operatives card. You also need to complete the CSCS Health, Safety and Environment touch screen test. That is a separate test, and it is booked directly with CSCS, not through us.
How long the course lasts
The Awareness certificate is valid for five years. After that another one day course keeps it going. Some people take the two day SSSTS or the five day SMSTS course instead, which suits those moving into supervision or management.
