Ideal for anyone looking to start a career in construction, our Job Skills for CSCS course is designed to get you fully prepared to take and pass your CSCS test.
Upon successful completion of the course, we will create your CSCS account, then book and pay for your CSCS test.
Once you pass, we’ll also pay for and claim your CSCS (green/Labourer’s) card.

This course will be delivered at various times throughout the year and delivered at our University Campus North Lincolnshire (UCNL).

Student Voice
I’m more of a hands-on learner and my course involved a lot of practical work, which was good. The tutors in Plumbing are great and really helpful. It was an opportunity presented by North Lindsey that allowed me to apply for my apprenticeship, so my course definitely helped me with my progression. I learnt a lot of skills needed to be successful in industry.
