We have two specialist options for Forklift Truck training or CSCS training to be completed alongside Employability Skills. These are fully funded to those that are unemployed and each course lasts around two weeks.

CSCS Card & Employability Skills

If you require a CSCS card to get a labouring job but don’t have the required qualification and need practice to pass the CITB test, then this course is for you. You will complete the Health, Safety and Environment test and improve your employability skills. On successful completion of the test you will receive a print out which states you passed and your CITB registration number. With this, we can apply for your CSCS card. You will also gain an accredited certificate in Employability Skills.
