CSCS card
Qualified APM members can now obtain the highest level of CSCS card
APM members working in the construction or related sector, who have obtained the Practitioner or Certificated Project Manager qualification, can now apply for the senior management CSCS card, once they have completed the managerial level Health & Safety test.
This represents formal recognition from the Construction Industry Council of APM’s membership and professional qualifications.
APM is the only professional institution with an approved route for its qualified members to achieve the senior management (black) CSCS card.
Construction Skills Certification Scheme
The Construction Skills Certification Scheme is a register of competent workers in the construction industry. The main aims of the scheme are to improve standards of workmanship and reduce accidents in the construction industry. The scheme is supported by organisations such as the Major Contractors Group and possession of an appropriate CSCS card is increasingly being required for access to construction sites in the UK.
What is a CSCS card?
A CSCS card is a plastic card, the size of a credit card, with an individual’s name, photo and CSCS reference number on it. The card shows the individual’s occupation and that they have undergone health and safety awareness training and testing. There are different coloured cards for different levels of an occupation, from trainee to senior management.
The card is valid for five years and is renewable on condition that you retake the Health and Safety test and you are still a member of APM.
