This card is available to people on a recognised apprenticeship. It is valid for four years and six months and cannot be renewed. Cardholders are expected to complete their apprenticeship by the time the card expires and apply for a skilled CSCS card.
The quickest and most convenient way to apply for a CSCS card is via our online application service. To apply for this card you will be required to submit evidence that you are registered for an apprenticeship and that you have passed a CITB health, safety and environment test , or completed a CSCS-recognised health and safety course. Applicants should complete the Enrolment Evidence Form as this includes all the evidence required to apply for the Apprentice card and may help avoid delays where information is missing from applications.
