The CSCS Industry Placement card

Students undergoing a construction-related qualification or training programme which requires the completion of a minimum three-week work placement, such as T Levels, Foundation Apprenticeships and trade-related Level 2 or 3 Certificates and Diplomas, require a CSCS Industry Placement card. 

The card is:

• valid for 2 years and cannot be renewed

• for students aged 16 or above 

• for applicants  registered onto a qualification or training programme requiring a minimum three-week work placement 

• available to students who meet the health and safety requirements set by CSCS.


CSCS accepts a range of health and safety qualifications and assessments for the Industry Placement card. Providers should check the latest requirements on the CSCS website before supporting students with applications.
