Gold CSCS Card NVQs
Two ways to earn Gold: the Advanced Craft route for experienced tradespeople whose work has outgrown the Blue card, and the Supervisor route for those briefing, checking and leading the team. Both assessed from the work you already do - remote or in person, typical completion 4-8 weeks, working with your assessor and work-based recorder. Then we administer your card, whichever route you choose.
HPL Centre is a GQA Qualifications Approved Centre (00467) and CITB Approved Internet Test Centre. Employers verify every card with the CSCS Smart Check app.
