CSCS is a card scheme. You take a test and get the card it is helth and safety based, about �50 for test and card. Yu need it to work unsupervised on building sites. CITB is the Construction Industry Training Board, they oversee the training of apprentices. Your local FE college should know where you cn get CSCS training
