Local Construction Focus
The Dundee Construction Scene
Dundee is undergoing a massive transformation, spearheaded by the £1 billion Dundee Waterfront regeneration project. This ongoing development, alongside new housing estates and university campus upgrades, has created a steady demand for qualified construction workers in the city. To work on any of these high-profile sites, contractors mandate that all workers hold a valid CSCS Green Card to ensure strict health and safety compliance.

Your Journey to the
Green Card
Here is the exact step-by-step process to getting fully qualified and allowed on site.
Complete the Level 1 Health & Safety Course
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.
Pass the CITB Touchscreen Test
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.
Apply for your Green Card
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 Processing Time
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.
Get on Site!
Once you are in physical possession of your CSCS Green Labourer Card, you will be allowed onto managed construction sites in Dundee and are ready to start working.
