CSCS Card Applications

A straightforward way for ILP members to apply for CSCS cards

It’s the card that provides proof that individuals working on construction sites have the appropriate training and qualifications for the job they do on site. In most cases applicants are required to achieve a recognised construction related qualification (usually an NVQ or SVQ) as well as pass the Construction Industry Training Board’s health, safety and environment test within the last 2 years.

However, not everyone is aware that CSCS also offer cards, known as PQP cards, for members of certain recognised Professional Bodies.

The cards available to members of the ILP are:

When applying for this card, Members and Fellows of the ILP will need to provide a letter from the ILP confirming their level of membership and eligibility for a PQP card. These letters are available from our membership team, please contact us .
