We only use your details to reply to your enquiry. See our Privacy Policy.
For most new starters the first goal is simple: get on site legally and safely. That means a CSCS card. For a labourer, the green card is the usual first step. After that, your next qualification depends on whether you want a trade, plant work or supervision.
| If you want to | Next qualification |
|---|---|
| Learn a trade | Apprenticeship or a Level 2 NVQ once working |
| Operate plant | CPCS or NPORS card on a first machine |
| Lead a team later | SSSTS and a Level 3 supervisory NVQ |
Read green card requirements, career paths without a degree and moving from labourer to skilled worker.
Your first qualification sets the pace for the rest of your career. These are the common wrong turns.
New to construction: Level 1 health and safety award, CITB HS&E test and a Green labourer card. Experienced but unqualified: an NVQ Level 2 in your trade and a Blue card. Moving into plant: the HS&E test and plant training for your chosen machine.
Tell us where you are now and where you want to get to. We will match you to the right course, test and card.

Not for the green card route. You need a health and safety award and the HS&E test.
Once you have the award, a test pass and the card application in, you can often start within weeks.
If you are starting from scratch in a trade, an apprenticeship is a strong option.
