Local Construction Focus
The Livingston Construction Scene
Located strategically between Edinburgh and Glasgow, Livingston is a major hub for residential expansion and commercial warehousing projects along the M8 corridor. The rapid growth of West Lothian means contractors are constantly looking for reliable labourers to work on new housing estates and distribution centres. A valid CSCS Green Card is essential for anyone looking to secure work on these fast-paced, highly regulated construction sites.
"Really simple to use. Did the learning on my tablet and the exam on my laptop. Fast results and great support."

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 Livingston and are ready to start working.
