This is separate from the CSCS card application fee and the cost of your online course or qualification.

The time needed to complete the online course depends on the course format, assessment requirements and how quickly you work through the learning material.

Many candidates choose an online course because it gives them more flexibility than classroom-based training.

After completing the required course or qualification, you still need to pass the correct CITB HS&E Test and submit your CSCS Labourer Card application.

Once your application has been approved by CSCS, the physical card should usually arrive within five working days.

For new applicants, the first CSCS Labourer Card is valid for two years.
