About the Red Trainee CSCS Card

The Red CSCS Trainee Card is designed for individuals who are registered to complete a qualification in the construction field. It is typically associated with entry-level workers in the UK construction industry. Whether you’re pursuing vocational, academic, or professional qualifications, this card can be your first step toward a successful career in construction. The industry demands skilled and qualified workers, and CSCS Cards are used to confirm a worker’s competence and training level. To be eligible for this card—which is valid for five years—you must meet specific requirements set by CSCS.

Why Get a Red Trainee CSCS Card

1. Proof of Training and Experience
