It helps to start from the job you do, not from the colour of the card.
New to site work
If you are new to construction, our route is the Green card. It begins with a one day CITB Health and Safety Awareness course, which is a minimum requirement for applying for the CSCS Green Operatives card.
Supervising trades
If you supervise bricklayers, carpenters, joiners, plumbers, decorators or other trades, our route is the Level 3 NVQ in Occupational Works Supervision, which includes the Supervisors Gold card. You must be working in a supervision role to take it.
Managing sites or projects
If you manage sites, contracts or projects, our routes are the Level 6 site management and contracting operations NVQs and the Level 7 senior management NVQ, which include the Managers Black card. You must be working in a management role.
If you sit between two
Many people do. A supervisor who now runs a whole site, for example, may be somewhere between Gold and Black. Message us your job title and what you are responsible for, and we will say which route fits today.
