CCNSG Site Safety Passport National Course
2-day CCNSG Safety Passport course for new applicants and expired cards
If you have been told to get a CCNSG card and you do not already hold a valid one, this is usually the course you need.
The CCNSG Site Safety Passport National Course is the full 2-day route for people applying for a CCNSG Safety Passport for the first time. It is also the course most candidates need when their old card has expired.
That last point is worth checking before you book. A lot of people search for a CCNSG renewal or refresher course, then realise the expiry date has already passed. If the card is out of date, the renewal route is usually no longer the right option.
This course is often required for work on engineering construction, industrial, maintenance, shutdown, petrochemical, power generation, oil and gas, renewable energy and contractor-controlled sites.
Send us your location and preferred date, and we can help you check availability for the 2-day CCNSG National Course.

You may also hear this course called the CCNSG National Course, CCNSG Safety Passport course, ECITB Safety Passport training or simply the site safety passport. The wording can vary depending on the employer or site, but the important thing is whether they have asked for CCNSG.
When should you book the National Course?
The National Course is for people who need the full CCNSG Safety Passport route, not just a renewal.
It is normally the right choice if you are new to CCNSG, if your previous card has expired, or if your employer has specifically asked you to complete the full 2-day course.
Typical candidates include site operatives, contractors, subcontractors, engineering workers, maintenance teams, shutdown workers and industrial site personnel. Some are starting a new role. Others already have experience on site but need the card for access to a particular project or client location.
A simple way to look at it:
- No current CCNSG card: book the National Course.
- Expired CCNSG card: you will usually need the National Course again.
- Valid card close to expiry: check the Renewal Course instead.
If you are not sure which situation applies to you, it is better to check before booking. The wrong course can delay site access.
What is the CCNSG Safety Passport used for?
The CCNSG Safety Passport is used across the UK engineering construction industry as a recognised site safety card.
For many workers, it is one of the documents checked before they are allowed onto site. It helps show that you understand the basic health, safety and environmental standards expected in higher-risk workplaces.
It does not replace your trade qualification. It does not replace a site induction either. You may still need job-specific training, plant tickets, permits, medicals or employer inductions depending on the work you are doing.
The purpose of the CCNSG course is more basic, but still important: it gives workers a shared understanding of safe behaviour, site rules and common risks before they start work.
My CCNSG card has expired. What happens now?
This is one of the most common questions.
If your CCNSG card has expired, you will usually need to take the full 2-day CCNSG National Course again. The 1-day renewal course is for people whose card is still valid and due to expire.
It can be frustrating, especially if the card only expired recently, but the date matters. Before you book anything, check the expiry date printed on your card.
If you send us the date, we can help you work out whether you should be looking at the National Course, Renewal Course or another route.
What does the 2-day CCNSG course cover?
The course is about practical site safety. It is not designed to teach your trade. It is there to make sure workers understand the kind of risks, rules and responsibilities they are likely to meet on engineering construction and industrial sites.
Training can cover areas such as:
- health and safety responsibilities
- hazard awareness and risk control
- safe systems of work
- permits to work
- manual handling
- working at height
- confined spaces
- fire safety and emergency procedures
- PPE and safe behaviour on site
- environmental awareness
- accident reporting
The course is there to make sure everyone has the same basic safety understanding before they start work. That matters on busy sites, especially where different contractors, trades and teams are working in the same area.
Assessment and CCNSG Safety Passport card
The National Course includes an assessment at the end of the training. After successful completion, candidates receive a CCNSG Safety Passport card, which is normally valid for 3 years.
Once you have the card, keep an eye on the expiry date. If you want to renew it later, arrange the renewal before the card runs out. Leaving it too late can mean having to take the full 2-day course again.
What should I check before booking?
Before booking the CCNSG National Course, it helps to know a few things.
First, check whether you already have a card and whether it is still valid. Then check exactly what your employer or site has asked for. Some people are asked for a “site safety passport”, some are told “ECITB Safety Passport”, and others are simply told “you need CCNSG”.
It also helps to have your preferred location, dates and number of candidates ready. For company bookings, we may need to know whether everyone is new to CCNSG or whether some people are trying to renew existing cards.
You may be asked to provide ID or other details before attending the course. Requirements can vary depending on the training arrangement, so always check your joining instructions before the course date.
