Once your CITB exam has been passed and all documents have been submitted, the CSCS cards are produced by the CITB within five to ten working days. In case of emergencies, we may be able to speed up the process of processing your application.

The CITB processes most CSCS cards in 5–10 working days after you complete your CITB exam and submit the required paperwork. Urgent application processing can be considered in certain cases. We at Construction Training Certification ensure a complete examination of all documents before submission to reduce rejections.

Yes, you can renew the CSCS cards before they expire; the holder normally lasts for five years. The conditions for renewal depend on the type of card you have and your qualification status. We handle all your renewals, check for authenticity in your credentials, and submit them for you. In order to keep your card from expiring, feel free to reach out to us three months prior to your card’s expiration date.
