At our CITB accredited test centre in Fife you can sit your HS&E test – also known as the CSCS health & safety test. Our centre is based just a 5 min drive from the Lochgelly junction of the A92 and we have free parking and lots of availability.

There are three types of CITB HS&E tests available:

    • Operatives

    • Specialists

    • Managers and professionals

For the purpose of the CSCS Labourer card most candidates sit the Operatives test, however if you or your employees require a Working at Heights Specialist test for example – this may also be sat.

Further information about this test, special assistance and study materials is available on our Health and Safety test page, alternatively please give us a call. We’d be happy to help.

Test cost: £42 + VAT

Certification: On completion of your test you will be given a ‘score report’ which will tell you if you’ve passed or failed. The score report will also detail any areas in which you’ve answered questions incorrectly. Please keep hold of this score report as you’ll need it when applying for your CSCS card.


3. CSCS card £30 + VAT

Now you’ve completed both courses you’re ready to apply for your card! It’s an easy process – all you’ll need to hand are your certificates from the above courses and a debit or credit card.

Please visit the CSCS website and hit ‘apply for a CSCS card’ button and follow the steps.

Please be aware that if you apply for your card yourself CSCS will only charge you £30 + VAT. If you are paying more than this, then you have not applied directly with CSCS. Please use the link above to apply directly with CSCS.
