WHAT ARE THE RULES FOR THE EXAM
These are designed to prevent cheating – nobody else in the room, no other tabs/programmes open on the computer, no notes (or any other items) on the desk. Please note, when the examination is being reviewed, the video is watched to check for cheating.
WHAT SORT OF COMPUTER IS NEEDED FOR THE EXAM?
A desktop or laptop with a webcam and speakers. Google Chrome web browser. A stable Broadband connection.
WHAT IF I DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH WELL?
You must be able to understand written and spoken English to take this course. There is no translation option. (Unlike the CSCS Operatives test.) IF YOU CANNOT READ OR UNDERSTAND ENGLISH WELL, THIS IS PROBABLY NOT THE COURSE FOR YOU.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE EXAM?
You will be notified only if you FAIL the exam.
If you have passed the questions, the video of you taking the exam will be reviewed to check you have kept to the rules.
We will email you your certificate as soon as it is available. You use it to get your Green CSCS Labourer Card.
WHY DO I HAVE TO TAKE THE CITB HEALTH & SAFETY TEST FOR OPERATIVES AS WELL AS GET THIS QUALIFICATION?
Good question. We’ve been getting people construction qualifications for over fifteen years and have seen quite a few changes in the rules. Nobody has yet given us a satisfactory reply to this question, but there is a benefit to a ‘baseline standard’ for knowledge of Health & Safety on building sites.
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH FOCUS ON HEALTH & SAFETY IN CONSTRUCTION?
Because so many people are at risk on building sites. Hundreds of people a year were being killed and thousands more seriously injured a few years ago. The Health & Safety schemes, tests and qualifications – together with good supervision and keeping to a few common-sense rules has reduced the deaths and injuries enormously.
WHAT IS YOUR RETURNS POLICY?
All purchases are covered by the United Kingdom distance selling regulations. These allow for a full refund within fourteen days of purchase.
Given the nature of the product, if the training or examination have been started by the candidate, a refund cannot be provided as the programme has been used.
