CILT members are now recognised as a 'Professionally Qualified Person' for the CSCS card (The Construction Skills Certification Scheme)
CILT is delighted to announce a new agreement with the The Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) which benefits CILT members that work in the construction sector. Members of CILT can now qualify for PQP status and apply for the relevant CSCS Card. The scheme reflects the different occupations and qualifications in construction and provides proof that individuals working on construction sites have the appropriate training and qualifications required.
CILT members are now able to apply for CSCS cards, helping its members and logisticians within the sector to demonstrate that they are appropriately qualified. The scheme plays an important part in improving standards and safety on UK construction sites.
Members of the following grades of CILT membership will be eligible to apply for the following CSCS cards:
Although holding a CSCS card is not a legislative requirement, most principal contractors and major house builders require them of construction workers on their sites.
Current members of CILT who are interested in applying for a CSCS Card must provide evidence of their CILT membership in the form of a letter or a scanned copy of their membership card.
The quickest and most convenient way to apply for a CSCS card is via the CSCS online application service accessed here.
For individuals who are not currently members of CILT and wish to apply for the scheme, please contact the CILT membership team for more information on becoming a member of CILT. 01536 740104
