Qualify for your CSCS Labourer Card without leaving your home, or choose to sit your exam in-person at our Glasgow training centre on Scotland Street. Our Highfield accredited e-learning package is the fastest route to getting on site in Aberdeen.
Aberdeen's construction sector remains robust, heavily influenced by the energy sector transition, ongoing harbour expansion projects, and commercial redevelopments in the city centre. With a high standard of health and safety naturally ingrained from the offshore industry, local contractors are incredibly strict about site compliance. Holding a valid CSCS Green Card is the absolute baseline requirement before you can step foot on any commercial or residential site in the Granite City.
"Very convenient being able to do the whole course and exam from my flat in Aberdeen. Passed first time and got on site the next week."
James M.
Labourer, Aberdeen
Here is the exact step-by-step process to getting fully qualified and allowed on site.
We've got this covered! Complete our Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment through our e-learning platform. You can then take your remote-invigilated exam from the comfort of your own home, or visit our local test centre in Glasgow to take it in person.
Next, you will need to book and pass the Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test. This is administered by Pearson VUE and must be taken at a physical Pearson VUE test center.
Once you have passed both the Level 1 Course and the Pearson CITB test, you can submit your application for the Green Labourer Card directly with CSCS.
CSCS will process your application. Please note that it takes up to 2 weeks on average for them to verify your details and post the physical card out to you.
Once you are in physical possession of your CSCS Green Labourer Card, you will be allowed onto managed construction sites in Aberdeen and are ready to start working.
