Safe2Site Online CSCS

Safe2Site is the only fully online course accredited by CSCS as route to getting a green card.

Yes Safe2Site has been accredited by CSCS as an alternative to the level 1 health and safety in a construction environment, needed to obtain a green labourers card.

Safe2Site is for everyone working on a construction site who wants to apply for a CSCS Green Labourer Card.

There are two stages to getting a CSCS green card.

1. You need to complete the relevant training equivalent to Level 1 Health and Safety in Construction Environment.  We offer Safe2Site, it is the only online course approved by CSCS for the Green Labourer Card.

2. You need to pass the CITB Health Safety and Environment Test for Operatives. Local test centres are all over the UK, book online via CITB for £21

Once you’ve completed both parts, order your green card directly from CSCS for £36.

Doing your training online with Safe2Site, organising  the CITB test yourself and ordering your own CSCS card is the most convenient and cost effective way to do it. Over 4 thousand Safe2Site achievers and green card holders can’t be wrong.

You connect with the test centre and first check that your webcam, speaker and mic are working properly and that your internet connection is good enough. Then you connect to a supervisor who confirms the test procedure and checks your ID. You then take your test while the supervisor remotely observes. At the end, you are told straight away if you’ve passed or failed.

Generally final tests are available from 10.00 to 17.00 Mon to Fri.

The availability is advertised on our training portal.

You complete the course at your own pace, but on average it takes 3 hours to do the course content, then there is a 45 minute test at the end.

Yes, the Safe2Site course can be done on a smart phone, but you will need to have access to a computer or laptop with a webcam/speaker/microphone for the final test.

A webcam is only required for the final hour in order to complete your assessment. If you do not own a PC/Laptop with a webcam then you can always explore the following options:

• Ask a friend or family member
• Use a local library or internet café
• See if your workplace or a colleague have one available

Still no luck? Feel free to call and we will do our best to assist you further.
