The qualification gained by sitting and achieving the e-learning course is called Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment (RQF), which represents the gold standard in entry-level construction certification.

The course content is broken down as follows:

Unit 1 – Introduction to Health and Safety – In the first unit of the introduction to health and safety course, you will be introduced to health and safety, as well as what hazards and risks are and what a risk assessment is.

Unit 2 – Health Hazards -This unit will explore examples of health hazards you may come across in the workplace. You will also look at hazardous substances, manual handling, DSE and work-related stress.

Unit 3 – Safety Hazards – In this unit you will explore some safety hazards that you may come across in the workplace, including slips, trips and falls, working at height and fire and electricity.

Unit 4 – Safe Working Environments – In the final unit of the introduction to health and safety course you will be introduced to some things to consider in a safe working environment. You will also look at the importance of emergency procedures.

Upon ordering, you will immediately be sent login details via email to access your e-learning course (detailed above), which can be completed in three hours on a laptop/desktop, a tablet or a mobile phone. I will soon touch base with you, to ensure you know exactly how to proceed.

After completion of the course, you will be sent a link, from which you will sit a short 40-question assessment, proctored using a webcam. This assessment must be sat on a laptop or desktop computer.

Once you have completed the course, I will book you in for the official CITB touch-screen test, completed at your nearest Pearson-VUE centre. This is officially called the Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test and is an integral component of the card process. You cannot gain a CSCS Green Card without first sitting and passing this 50-question test.

With the touch-screen test passed, I immediately apply directly to CSCS for your card and a digital copy is generated in the meantime to allow immediate site access. Plastic cards typically take between five to seven working days to arrive at your address.

This is not a fast track option.

CSCS cards are a heavily regulated form of certification, and it can take up to a week to receive certification for the e-learning course, as footage from the webcam-proctored remote test must first be scrutinised by the awarding body.

If you need to be on site within a few days, I recommend EUSR's SHEA Core card, which features the CSCS logo and offers a simpler process.

This A to Z package is recommended only for candidates who are competent enough to study the material provided and pass their tests on the first attempt.

Resits are permitted, but will incur a fee, to cover the cost of booking a second test. Please refer to the Refund Policy for further information.
