PQP Card (Professionally Qualified Person)

The PQP (Professionally Qualified Person) card is for individuals with recognised professional membership — for example, a relevant chartered institution — in a construction-related profession. Like the AQP card, it's a direct route into a recognised CSCS card without going through a trade NVQ.

What It Covers

For recognised professional membership (e.g. a relevant chartered institution)
For construction-related professions
A direct route that doesn't require a trade NVQ

Entry Requirements

You'll need recognised professional membership in a construction-related profession.

How It Works

Issued once we've confirmed your professional membership against CSCS's recognised list — no separate NVQ or trade test required.

Leads To

A direct route for professional roles, comparable to a Black Manager CSCS card for management-level positions.
