CSCS Card · Red Experienced Worker Card
Red Experienced Worker Card
The Red Experienced Worker CSCS card is for experienced workers who can demonstrate relevant industry experience but don't yet hold the full NVQ. It's time-limited, intended to bridge the gap while you complete your NVQ Level 2, and is commonly used alongside enrolment on that qualification.
What It Covers
- For experienced workers without a full NVQ yet
- Demonstrates relevant industry experience
- Time-limited — bridges the gap while you complete your NVQ Level 2
Entry Requirements
You'll need to demonstrate relevant industry experience and be enrolled on (or about to enrol on) an NVQ Level 2 in your trade.
How It Works
Issued once we've confirmed your industry experience and NVQ Level 2 enrolment — no separate test beyond the HS&E Test already required for your Blue card.
