10.0 SKILLED CARD – INDUSTRY ACCREDITATION ROUTE

10.1 In a very limited number of occupations, applicants without an NVQ, SVQ or an apprenticeship can apply for a card through industry accreditation. A card is issued upon recommendation from the present or previous employer using the occupational specific competencies as agreed by the relevant occupational sector and having met current CSCS health and safety requirements.

10.2 Cards available by this route are: Blue Card Craft Level Industry Accreditation grade A (based on NVQ or SVQ Level 2) Gold Card Advanced Craft Level Industry Accreditation grade B (based on NVQ or SVQ Level 3)

10.3 This route of entry is open for a maximum of two years from the date the occupation became available for a skilled CSCS card.

It is important to note that most occupations are no longer available for industry accreditation.

10.4 These cards are valid for five years and are renewable upon application, providing CSCS health and safety requirements are met.

11.0 SKILLED CARD – EXPERIENCED WORKER ROUTE

11.1 This route is for experienced workers whose occupation has closed for industry accreditation and have met current CSCS health and safety requirements.

11.2 A red experienced worker card is issued. 11.3 This card is valid for one year and is non-renewable.

11.4 The card is issued on a temporary basis, while a NVQ or SVQ is being achieved. It is expected to be replaced by a skilled card on achievement of NVQ or SVQ Level 2 or higher.

N.B. CSCS will also accept the relevant equivalent QCF (Qualification and Credit Framework) qualification, providing it has NVQ in its title.

11.5 An Experienced Worker card cannot be replaced by a Construction Site Operative card.
