CSCS CARD THE TRUTH
You usually need to have achieved an N/SVQ to be eligible for a CSCS card. However, there are other routes into the Scheme such as the trainee and experienced worker cards for people who are working towards their N/SVQ, industry accreditation, professional membership or visitor cards.
