Hello so I’m hopping on getting into construction here in the UK, I’ve got a degree from a Canadian university but it’s not related to engineering. 1 which card should I apply for white or green? 2 for the green do I have to do the CITB test or just get an online course do the test and if I pass book my card?
All cards need a CITB test and if your degree is not engineering/construction related then go for the green one (for green you still need a 1 day course), or for red.
Thanks for prompt reply , Is pvf in which they inquire it from college or something - is also mandatory or just statement of compatibility is enough , pls guide as it is very urgent as I am travelling this week
I was just studying through the CITB app to prepare for the test 😅. One question though: I have a bachelors degree in Civil Engineering outside the UK and a master’s degree in urban planning from the Uni of Manchester. In this case I should apply for the white card, shouldn’t I? Also, what are the job prospects in Civil Engineering for someone like me who has a master’s degree in a different field which is “urban planning”? Will I still be employable in the field here in the UK 🇬🇧? Many thanks!
Hi Omar! I am pretty sure you can apply for a white one straightaway as you have a UK degree. Definitely prospects are good for you as it doesn't really matter that your master's is urban planning still you have a civil engineer's degree anyway. Go for some site/assistant site/setting out engineer role, get some experience and then you can do whatever you like 😁👍👍👍
I believe with degree you can apply for a white one straightaway, red one is mostly for people without any knowledge and experience, still the white one shows only your degree and doesn't say anything about the experience. BTW do you have a white one?
Thank you vey much sir! Your channel is really helpful & encouraging and I have been watching your videos for quite a while now. When I get accepted and start working in London as a Civil Engineer, I’m gonna invite you for a dinner as a gratitude. 😁🤝
@@Lana.russelll Thank you, Lana! I did my research and SITENG was right (sorry I don’t know your name yet😅). I think the red card for those who are still pursuing their degree in engineering and would like to take an internship/training in one of the construction companies. But after you get the degree, then you’re eligible for the white one, regardless of previous experience.
So all to get a green card is to first pass the NITB course then get 1 day course of the green card qualification done and then can i straight apply for the green card? thanks
It's a CITB 1 day course, I believe you can do them online, then you have to pass the test which takes around 1 hour 😁 After positive result you can apply for a card 👍👍
Hi, if I wanted to get a blue card would I need to get the red and the green before it? I am new to all of this and have no university qualifications haha, I am thinking of gettig the blue one so I could earn £13-£20 an hour is this the correct method? and also once the CIBT test is passed would you need to do a new one everytime you get a new card or is it just a one time test?
For blue you need have experience, so I don't really see you're getting it straightaway. You can go for green, but need a one day course. With blue card you can make more money, dependent what you want to do (chippie, steelfixer etc)
Hello Greg.. Hope You doing well.. I am civil engineer heaving 5 year experience in project in india. Thank for this wonderful video and your suggestion.. By watching your video and suggestions I passed my citb manager and professional exaam test. Can you please suggest my india experience consider in uk and what is next step where i find job as a site Engineer.
would be best to start as an assistant, or junior engineer, no one will really take your India experience into account, but it will be easier for you on site, so quicker you get to another role
I just completed my construction project management MSc in the Uk and passed my managers and professional CITB test. I cannot afford the SMSTS at the moment, Is it advisable to take the SSSTS course while still searching for a job as a first time manager in the UK?
Don't take any of these for now. If you don't have experience you won't use it too much. Do anything you can to get the job , assistant / junior position first
thank you for this golden information, what i want to know is , do i need a degree for CITB:MAP exam? if i crack CITB Map exam can i apply for green card ?
Thanks, I am not sure actually. To take the exam you don't need a degree, you need it later to get white card etc. You should be able to get green one after the test as the test covering broader knowledge, but the best would be to ask CITB, as I can't guarantee as I don't really know 😁
None, the white one is better. It's better to do a green one instead of red one - which is only valid for 6 months - anyway good news as CITB promised red cards for free now, so this changes the situation a bit
Hi Greg...I want to apply for green card as a painter and decorating....But I dont have any qualification in my hand...Only have a lot of experience from abroad...So I need go for red card first...THANKS
HI! I believe you still have to pay for a training and the card will not give you much in return. Have a look here: www.cscs.uk.com/card-type/advanced-craft/ While it might be nice to have it I think it's not worth it really, I'd better do some SMSTS, FA, or TW course 😁
Surely, just thought it is the simple way for someone who wants to become an Setting Out Engineer and doesn't have the time or the money to spent for University! Thanks Greg and wish you all the best !
Hii Greg, Just to confirm As I am to finish for Msc Construction project management with BIM,so for CITB test preparation(white card) I should go for CITB MAP application. Isn't it ?
Hi, I would like to appreciate your content and your effort for giving the inf I’m urban planning I have master degree I was working us Lead civil engineering and supervisor with Japan company In Gas/Oil domain I want to apply in UK for getting job there Which card need to take it and how can do it ? Thank you for your consideration Please I waiting feedback
Thanks! You have to pass exam here in UK and it might be the red one for you, you would have to ask CITB if your degree qualifies you for the white one (in some cases you need ENIC statement of comparability). Wish you all the best!!
Hi! Thanks for the info👍👍 I've actually see some cscs article today that cscs is not required in some cases - will leave a link in video description. When we talk about engineering I still think it's a must really😁 www.cscs.uk.com/news/which-jobs-need-a-cscs-card/
I’m a bricklayer I have been for 8 years now at a firm in the south east of England I want to go on site now as I live in London can I go on with a green card? I’ve heard mixed things? Thanks
Yes you can, at least in 95% of jobs. I know engineers working with a green one and no one says anything. Sometimes on big jobs they want a skilled card and also without a skilled one they can play to pay you bit less.
I have a diploma on Mechanical Engineering abroad. I have applied ENIC and received my ENIC reference number. But I can not find where to apply? can you help?
Have you sent them the diploma? I am not sure really, you have contact them and ask. I did it long time ago, but get my Statement from them after few weeks after I paid
My statement of compatibility is done as it was required in visa process , so I need to do it again for white cscs card or some other check is required from ectis ? Please help
@@SITENG is pvs not required , I have completed my degree out of Uk , should I pay for compatibility and pvs again in which they will check authenticity of degree or something. Please confirm as this is expensive , I have already received statement of compatibility from ectis in my visa process along with English language confirmation that I did my course in English.
Hi Greg, I hope you are doing well. I have a civil engineering degree from Pakistan with 4-5/year experience as a site engineer. I'm doing MSC planning projects and management in the UK. Can you please tell me in detail how I can apply for the white card and prepare for the test? Which is why I can test for my civil engineering degree in the UK. Thanks please explain in detail
You have to pass the MAP CSCS test - managers and professionals - the easiest way to prepare is to get the CITB app on your phone and go through all the questions. Once your exam is passed you have to call them and order a card and tell them it's the white one you want - they will ask to confirm your qualifications - you'll confirm and there you go 😁
Thank you so much, Greg, it's very helpful for me. Can you please explain more? On an app store, the CITB MAP application is there. They cost £7. Which test I will book for it? And how much does the cost test .? After passing the test how do I process the white card and attest my degree from the UK engineering counsel? Thanks
sorry for late reply, did not see the comment. Please check on their website how much is the cost now. After you pass you have to call them and explain you are applying for a white one and they will tell you what you have to send to them
Hi Rose! Who knows 😁 I am currently outside UK, but probably will be back April. Don't know where I'll be working tough so can't promise anything. You will find some good job anyway and let me know if I can help 👍👍👍
I am having Mechanical Engineering degree outside uk and also 10 years experience in design , quality and Oil field also ...Now i am pursuing Msc in Management from Essex Uni,so can i apply for directly gold /black CSCS card? 7:14

Look for work, speak with recruiters and make a decision which role you want to start. Junior/assistant engineer might be a good beginning of a career 😁
Hi! There is a link in description to enic, all info there. You have to check if your Uni is on the list and then send the diploma to them. There is a chance your diploma is accepted without the statement of comparability so please check there. Let me know how it goes 😁
hey if you could reply as fast as possible please bro. im starting a job in labouring for a roofer on site. so i am about to apply for my greencard... But i studied plumbing at college and got my level 2n3 city & guilds certificates. so what one should i apply for even though im not doing plumbing career at the moment?
You can go for a labourer one, or if it’s a first it might be a red one. Please ask them about your qualifications as you could get a blue one for professional if you have needed NVQ level
@@SITENG but why is there 1 test for £22 called the CITB health and safety then i have to sit another test which is £80 cscs test? i thought a cscs test was just one test one payment? im so confused bro
Sir, i passed in NEBOSH exam. Next month i will come in UK. So i would like to apply cscs card. My doubt is, i already passed the NEBOSH so is any necessary to attend the citb test? Plz reply. Or can i apply direct cscs card without citb test exam
Hi my friend I'm new subscriber I'm from Algeria you know it of course 😅 I want to get green card cscs so it's that possible I'm not live in UK now .thank you ✌❤
Hello sir ! I have a master’s degree outside the UK and i have 5 years work experience as a civil engineer. I have applied at ECCTIS to certify that my qualifications are comparable to the uk ones but it takes up to 30 working days. I wanted to know if i can take the CITB test now or i have to wait until they certify my qualifications?
Hi! I am pretty sure you can take it now - take MAP one and once you have your certificate then apply for a card. When booking and sitting the exam no one is asking for it, but you have to prove it while ordering a card (at least that was the case before). To make 100% you can write to them too.
@@engr810 tysm for the response pal. 👍Another thing I want to ask you is I have completed a master’s degree just like you so do we have to upload only the master’s transcript for ECCTIS or both my master’s and bachelor’s?
Hi, I would like to appreciate your content easy to understand. I ‘m an mechanical engineer i have been working in construction field since 10 years and planning to relocate to UK , so my question is can attend CITB exam outside uk and can i also apply for cscs card, and is there any exemptions for citb exam like I’m holding nebosh igc level 3 certificate.
Hi! If you want to work on site you have to get a CSCS. It can't be done outside UK, but once you here it's few hours and your exam is passed and card within few days. When you know when you are coming you can book your test earlier
If you want a white one you have to have a degree to prove it. You can apply for a red one before, but I would wait unless you are going to work before your results.
@@Onenesofallah For a white one yes, but you don't need a degree to apply for a card. You can get a different type of card like red one, or a green card.
Hi Kemal! I have master's too 😁 For black card you need to be assessed as this one is for managers. I believe is NVQ level 6 to be achieved and degree gives you equivalent of level 4 I think. You need experience for the black one.
Hi Lana😁 Kemal can try go for a white one straightaway, but you're absolutely right, black one is for Site Managers. Thank you very much for helping the community👍👍👍
Geg, You have 45 minutes to complete the test. What happens if you complete it in 10 minutes? Do you have to sit there and wait for 35 minutes? Thanks.
No, you don't. Just press finish, or show someone from there that you're finishing (there is always someone to keep an eye on you) and they will tell you what to do. Don't wait 😁
@@SITENG I did it it today, got 50/50. Probably took about 10 minutes. Got my things and the score report and left the place, pretty quick really. I practiced before with the HS&E test for operatives and specialists. Every single question in the exam was the same as on the app. In my test centre it was anyway. All good. Thanks.
@@SITENG Thanks. I did the Level 1 in Health and Safety within a Construction Environment online a week before the CITB one. I did it through Proctor. For that exam I must say that the questions I studied were very different to the ones I had in the exam. I got 39/40 for that one but I was unsure about a lot of the questions. For you guys that are going to take the Level 1 in Health and Safety within a Construction Environment , make sure you look on the internet for practice questions / mock exams. Good luck.
Great News!! Red cards will be free: www.cscs.uk.com/news/supporting-apprentices-with-free-cscs-cards/ Just found out CSCS have a YT as well 😁 worth to watch: ua-cam.com/channels/6bx5vzESq1ORbEfzn8xMMg.htmlfeatured
Exactly that 😁 TBH without it you can't access any site now, so if you want to work on construction site it's a must really. If you're looking for some design job, off the site then it's not necessary.
Really appreciate, this is the most informative video about this thank you.

Hi 😊 I’ve got a green card and wasn’t working as the labourer 😁 it’s fine for office jobs, sometimes you don’t even need a card 😉

also is the CITB test a separate one to the cscs card that i have to pay and pass first?
You can go for a labourer one, or if it’s a first it might be a red one. Please ask them about your qualifications as you could get a blue one for professional if you have needed NVQ level
@@SITENG but why is there 1 test for £22 called the CITB health and safety then i have to sit another test which is £80 cscs test? i thought a cscs test was just one test one payment? im so confused bro
appreciate ur reply mate
@@perryplays5569 Should be only one, sometimes to get a labourer card you need to do some 1 day course etc., but for CSCS is one payment
Sir, i passed in NEBOSH exam. Next month i will come in UK. So i would like to apply cscs card. My doubt is, i already passed the NEBOSH so is any necessary to attend the citb test? Plz reply. Or can i apply direct cscs card without citb test exam
CSCS is different, so you have to pass it if you want to work on construction site

Hi, where can I get CSCS card?
Hi check the links in description - you can book your test there and you will find there where exactly. Test have to be taken in UK
CAN i WORK AS A PAINTER ON A GREEN CARD IF i AM A PAINTER?
Yes you can, no problem. Just remember on some jobs they might require other card, or they might be playing to pay you bit less than normal.
PLEASE, IS THERE ARABIC LANGUAGE IN THE HEADPHONE
Not.100% sure to be honest, the best way would be calling them and ask 👍👍
@@SITENG Thank you
I am looking for a job
Good, but you won't find it here. Try LinkedIn, company pages and recruiters. If you're in UK go from site to site and speak with people.
Hi my friend I'm new subscriber I'm from Algeria you know it of course 😅 I want to get green card cscs so it's that possible I'm not live in UK now .thank you ✌❤
Hi! Unfortunately no. You have to sit the exam here, but you can prepare for it before and book the exam early as well.
@@SITENG thank you for your reply ❤you very helpful 🙏 have a good day
@@azzeddinebengheddab4749 Thank you and if you need to know anything else let me know
Hi mate so I've just passed my cscs exam every what's the best payed job I can get
What cscs type and what can you do?
Guess you mean best paid job in your situation? Might be labourer to start with
Hello sir ! I have a master’s degree outside the UK and i have 5 years work experience as a civil engineer. I have applied at ECCTIS to certify that my qualifications are comparable to the uk ones but it takes up to 30 working days. I wanted to know if i can take the CITB test now or i have to wait until they certify my qualifications?
Hi! I am pretty sure you can take it now - take MAP one and once you have your certificate then apply for a card. When booking and sitting the exam no one is asking for it, but you have to prove it while ordering a card (at least that was the case before). To make 100% you can write to them too.
which card is better for me I have civil superintendent experience abroad and now passed MAP
@@engr810 hello mate,
how to pass MAP exam and will i get app of it from appstore/playstore?
@@sagarkuchhadia8083 yes dear, its better to use app
@@engr810 tysm for the response pal. 👍Another thing I want to ask you is I have completed a master’s degree just like you so do we have to upload only the master’s transcript for ECCTIS or both my master’s and bachelor’s?
Hi,
I would like to appreciate your content easy to understand.
I ‘m an mechanical engineer i have been working in construction field since 10 years and planning to relocate to UK , so my question is can attend CITB exam outside uk and can i also apply for cscs card, and is there any exemptions for citb exam like I’m holding nebosh igc level 3 certificate.
Hi! If you want to work on site you have to get a CSCS. It can't be done outside UK, but once you here it's few hours and your exam is passed and card within few days. When you know when you are coming you can book your test earlier
@@SITENG Appreciated and thanks for your good advice will follow-up.
👍
Thank you!!
I haven't got my results yet so can I go for CSCS card ?
If you want a white one you have to have a degree to prove it. You can apply for a red one before, but I would wait unless you are going to work before your results.
@@SITENG yesterday I have booked for exam on June 30th and installed CITB MAP application also
@@Onenesofallah Great, will be good 😁
@@SITENG so when we apply for Card we need degree right ?
@@Onenesofallah For a white one yes, but you don't need a degree to apply for a card. You can get a different type of card like red one, or a green card.
please i'm outside uk can i apply for cscs card ?
Nope, You have to pass the exam here
You better listen to the polish msn
ok :)
I have master degree in civil engineering. Can I get black card?
Hi Kemal! I have master's too 😁 For black card you need to be assessed as this one is for managers. I believe is NVQ level 6 to be achieved and degree gives you equivalent of level 4 I think. You need experience for the black one.
@@SITENG thanks
Black Card is only for Manager on Site....again if is your first time you need to apply for red card which is a trainee Red card
Hi Lana😁 Kemal can try go for a white one straightaway, but you're absolutely right, black one is for Site Managers. Thank you very much for helping the community👍👍👍
Hi, i am from uae. Can i apply o online for cscs card?
You can't apply on line, the test has to be done here in UK
Geg, You have 45 minutes to complete the test. What happens if you complete it in 10 minutes? Do you have to sit there and wait for 35 minutes? Thanks.
No, you don't. Just press finish, or show someone from there that you're finishing (there is always someone to keep an eye on you) and they will tell you what to do. Don't wait 😁
@@SITENG I did it it today, got 50/50. Probably took about 10 minutes. Got my things and the score report and left the place, pretty quick really. I practiced before with the HS&E test for operatives and specialists. Every single question in the exam was the same as on the app. In my test centre it was anyway. All good. Thanks.
@@Vamos1969 Congrats David👍👍 Yeah, the questions are the same, it's just amount of them you have to remember 😁 All the best!
@@SITENG Thanks. I did the Level 1 in Health and Safety within
a Construction Environment online a week before the CITB one. I did it through Proctor. For that exam I must say that the questions I studied were very different to the ones I had in the exam. I got 39/40 for that one but I was unsure about a lot of the questions. For you guys that are going to take the Level 1 in Health and Safety within a Construction Environment , make sure you look on the internet for practice questions / mock exams. Good luck.
Thanks for letting us know 👍👍👍
Great News!! Red cards will be free: www.cscs.uk.com/news/supporting-apprentices-with-free-cscs-cards/
Just found out CSCS have a YT as well 😁 worth to watch:

Hello sr
Hi!
Q:Why do you need it?
Re: You just need it.
Exactly that 😁 TBH without it you can't access any site now, so if you want to work on construction site it's a must really. If you're looking for some design job, off the site then it's not necessary.
@@SITENG Not really, you know. Im working on a listed building in Holborn and I dont need a cscs card. 13 per hour
find job forme dear
This you have to do for yourself, but I will help as much as I can and my channel will give you the info you need😁
