Mandatory Requirements

To enable a candidate to obtain an ADSA CSCS card the candidate must hold a valid ADSA Standards authorised card. This can be achieved by completing our 2 day training and exam at one of our national centres, or by completing a renewal  via our learning academy.

In addition to achieving the standards authorised test pass the candidate will be required to complete our CSCS approved Health and Safety in a Construction Environment online course. The Modules in the course are designed to examine the knowledge of the candidate across a wide range of Health and safety topics.

The ADSA CSCS card expiry date is calculated from the date the Authorised Standards training is successfully completed.
