Default Going For Your CSCS Card

Well, had my CSCS exam on Saturday. Passed. Think it's pretty scandalous that you have to pay £42.50 for this 'exam' but...

Anyway, bought another CD (Yep cirrus, from ebay, for a fiver. Well £4!) and thought it was very useful.

Contains all the questions and answers that you'll be asked on the CSCS exam.
Generates random exams to practice with.
Provides a 'check and review' to see which questions you got wrong (if any).
Test yourself on seperate subjects if you're weak in a particular area (eg: handheld tools)

Basically, go on ebay and type in 'CSCS'.
Anyone going in for this exam, it's not difficult, really. However, £4 well spent on this CD in my opinion (£2CD £2p+p) if you feel you want to revise beforehand(which you should)

Well I'm just a lowly labourer/mate so I went for the CSCS Operatives Card.
Someone did suggest another card to me. It's on this forum somewhere. I'll have a look for it...

Go on the website, CITB-ConstructionSkills or something, call the number and explain your situation and they'll tell you which one you need.

Alternatively, wait for someone more informedthan I to come on here and tell you

CSCS card is awarded by the ECS and is needed to work on site. Some companies have an umbrella qualification allowing their staff to work on site without getting individual CSCS cards.
