CSCS Gold Supervisor Card

The CSCS Gold Supervisor Card, a type of Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card issued in the UK, is a testament to your skills and knowledge in a highly skilled construction occupation. It is awarded to individuals who have achieved a specific qualification and have completed a construction-related field. This card proves your competence and ensures that you can perform your role safely and effectively on a construction site, prioritizing your safety and that of others. The CSCS Gold Supervisor card is valid for five years, and you can renew it after it expires or up to 6 months before or within a year of expiry.

To apply for the CSCS Gold Supervisor Card, you need to hold a valid CITB health safety and environment specialist supervisors test, which is valid for two years. Along with the test, you must have a construction-related NVQ/SVQ Level 3 in supervisory, SCQF Level 6, or completion of an apprenticeship, like an employer-sponsored program or a City and Guilds in the supervisory certificate. Once these requirements are met, you can apply for the CSCS Gold Supervisor Card.
