The Problem

Why most people fail the CSCS test

The CITB Health & Safety test is not difficult if you’ve prepared properly. Most people who fail haven’t, and they fail for the same reasons over and over.

Information scattered everywhere

The actual testable content is buried across dozens of HSE guidance documents, regulations and standards. Nobody has time to read it all.

Generic study materials

Most “study guides” are written for general safety awareness, not the specific topics and figures the CITB test actually asks about.

No real practice questions

You can read theory all day, but if you’ve never seen a question phrased like the actual test, you’ll panic when you see one for real.

The exam traps catch you out

Half the test is recognising the wrong-but-plausible answer. PPE first instead of last in the hierarchy. Water on any fire. 1.5m shoring threshold instead of 1.2m. These traps are designed to catch unprepared candidates.

£22.50
Cost of one test retake. Plus the time off work to take it again. Plus the delay in getting your CSCS card. Plus the lost work days while you wait. Failing is expensive.

Frequently Asked

Common questions

How long do I have access for?

Lifetime. Pay once, yours forever. No subscription, no renewal, no expiry. If your CSCS card is up for renewal in 5 years, you’ll still have access to the latest version of the guide.

Which CSCS test does this prepare me for?

Both. The guide is split into two sections. Section I (chapters 1 to 14) covers the Operatives & Specialists test, which is the test for Green Labourer, Blue Skilled Worker and Gold Supervisor cards. Section II (chapters 15 to 19) adds the Managers & Professionals (MAPS) content needed for the Black Manager card and any management-level role. One purchase covers both paths.

Is the content up to date?

Yes. Every chapter is current as of 2026 and reflects the latest UK regulations (CDM 2015, CAR 2012, RIDDOR 2013, Control of Noise/Vibration 2005, PPE at Work 1992 amended 2022, etc.). Updates as regulations change are included free.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. Everything is fully mobile-friendly: read chapters on your phone, take the mock test on your phone. Works equally well on tablet and desktop, no app to install.

What if I still fail the real test?

Email us with your result breakdown and we’ll review which topic areas you struggled with, then point you to the specific chapters and practice questions that target those areas. Most candidates who fail the first time pass the retake after focused revision.

What’s the difference between this and the free mock test on your site?

The free mock test is 50 preset questions with basic explanations, no timer. The premium version included with the guide has all 317 questions shuffled randomly each attempt, the real 45-minute timer, save and resume, plus the 19-chapter revision guide covering both Operatives and MAPS content.

Can I share my access with workmates?

Each purchase is a single-user licence. If your workmates need it too, please ask them to buy their own copy (we keep the price low specifically so that’s affordable). Bulk pricing for sites with 5+ workers, contact us.

How quickly can I start studying?

Instantly. The moment your payment goes through, you get immediate access to everything: all 19 chapters and the 317-question mock test. No waiting, no email confirmation delays.

Stop guessing. Start passing.

19 chapters across both test paths. 317 practice questions on a real 45-minute timer. Everything you need to pass your CSCS test, for less than the price of one retake.
