Once you know which test you need, you can book your test at any of the official test centre located across the UK. You can search through the centre’s on the find a centre page or use our suggested centre based on your postcode when you complete our simple booking form. 

Once you have passed the health, safety and environment test you will then be able to apply for your required CSCS card.
