Delegates attending this course must have sufficient command of English language both written and verbal to allow delegates to address the assessment requirements of the qualification.

Delegates must log on to Teams in good time for the start of the course to ensure there are no IT issues. In the event that individuals are late logging in, they may be excluded from the event and the full fee will be charged.

All delegates are required to show photographic identification to the trainer, such as a passport, driving license, or work ID. You will not be permitted to sit your exam without photographic proof of ID. If you have any queries on this, please contact us before your course.

The trainer will conduct an online exam with all delegates via video communication on Microsoft Teams. The exam time is 35 minutes, the delegate must be visible via the video at all times and you are permitted to refer to the supporting publication, Construction site safety (GE700), during the last 15 minutes of the examination period. The pass mark is 81% (26 questions out of 32). Delegates would be eligible for a resit should they achieve a mark between 72-78% (23, 24 or 25 out of 32). Only one attempt of a resit is allowed and may take place on the same day or by attending the final day of another course within a 90 day period. If a delegate fails the resit, they must take the whole course again. Any delegate scoring less than 69% (22 out of 32) will fail the final exam and must sit the whole course again.

To successfully achieve the course, delegates must complete all four core exercises, pass the trainer review and pass the end of course exam.  The trainer will discuss this further with delegates at the beginning of the course.

Delegates successfully completing the course will be awarded a CITB Construction Site Management Safety Training Scheme Certificate valid for five years. (Certificates will be sent as digital PDF’s – please be aware that hard copy certificates will not be sent).
