What happens on test day?

  1. 1Arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled test time so identity checks can be completed.
  2. 2Bring original acceptable photo ID with the correct name; copied, expired or mismatched ID can stop entry.
  3. 3Store personal items as instructed by centre staff before the test starts.
  4. 4Complete the 45-minute HS&E test and answer all 50 questions carefully.
  5. 5Keep the score report after the test because it contains details needed for a CSCS card application.

How to prepare before travelling

  • Revise from current CITB HS&E material for your test level rather than relying only on general construction knowledge.
  • Use timed practice questions so the 45-minute format feels familiar before test day.
  • Check the route to the centre in advance and allow extra time for parking, public transport delays or unfamiliar streets.
  • If English support, a voiceover, BSL or other reasonable adjustment is needed, flag it during the booking request.

After the test

Using your result for a CSCS card

Passing the HS&E test is only one part of most CSCS card routes. CSCS normally requires the appropriate HS&E test or approved alternative to have been passed within the last two years, and you may also need qualification evidence for the card you are applying for. Keep your score report safe because the testing ID is used during the card application.
