How the test works

The test is multiple choice and is conducted via computer – you select the correct answer by using a mouse.

You don’t need any special computer skills and you can have a tutorial practice session before sitting your test if you wish. Sessions are monitored, so assistance is always on hand.

Questions are taken from an approved selection covering topics such as site hazards, working at heights, using dangerous substances and understanding warning signs. All the possible questions are listed in the Test Question Book and CD-Rom - you need to prepare for your test.

There are different categories of test, depending on which CSCS or affiliated card scheme you will be applying for – we can help advise you when you book. The category of test you sit will also influence the selection of questions in your test and how many you will be asked.

Usually, you will be asked 40 questions, to be answered in 45 minutes, although some specialist tests have 50 questions and last 60 minutes. Most candidates finish well before time.
