CPCS Renewal and the Health and Seafety Test

Home > News and Announcements CPCS Renewal and the Health and Seafety Test

June 27, 2019

Obtaining and renewing your construction cards can sometimes be confusing, what card do I need? what test do I have to take? Our aim at UK Construction cards is to make the process a little easier to understand and make booking your required test a little simpler.

To renew your CPCS card you must have passed the CITB health and safety (or HS&E) test within the last 2 years this will need to be at the core (or operatives) level but if you have passed either the supervisors (SUP) or Managers and Professionals (MAP) test., these are also acceptable. If you haven't you will need to click on the link above and book your test before you can renew your card. The only exceptions are:

The Appointed person category, A61, requires the managers and professionals (MAP) test.
The Crane/Lifting Operations Supervisor category, A62, requires the Supervisory (SUP) test.

Both of these tests can also be booked through UK Construction card by clicking on the link "To book your test now" at the top of the page.

Please note: UK Construction cards only act as a booking agent for the Health and safety exam. If you require other modules for your CPCS card these will need to be booked elsewhere.

Previously I have spent hours booking individual tests but thanks to the UK Construction Cards group booking service, I was able to book my entire workforce in through one quick application.

I had forgotten to renew and needed to take my test within a week but all my local centres were fully booked. CSCS booking was able to locate a centre with spaces and book for me.

Thank you UK Construction Cards for a quick and hassle-free booking system. Payments were quick and easy and I was able to use my PayPal account.

I had previously paid ridiculously high booking and admin fees just for my test (nearly £100!). I was cautions when I found The UK Construction Cards booking service but they turned out to be great value.

I had completely forgot my card was due to run out. Luckily my reminder from UK Construction Cards came just in time, I was able to book and take my renewal before my card ran out before I missed out on upcoming work.

All my selected centres I had chosen to take my test turned at out to be fully booked. A member of the CSCS booking team called me within 24hrs and helped me select another local centre.

My Fathers English is not great but being able to book a test in other languages, I was confident his language barrier would not prevent him getting a card.

I was able to book and pay for my test all through my phone. It was so quick and easy.

I hate booking things online and have lost money in the past when I have made errors. The UK Construction Cards booking team noticed my mistakes and called me back to ensure my details were correct.

I had no idea where to go to take a test but all I had to do was enter my postcode and the website told me the location of my nearest centres.

It was so easy! I was expecting a huge complicated application process but all I had to do was fill in one short and simple form and UK Construction Cards booking service took care of the rest.

Due to an illness in the family, I was unable to make my test date. The UK Construction card booking service were happy to reschedule my test without having to pay extra. Thank you!
