CIC HEALTH & SAFETY CERTIFICATION FAQs

This new CIC (Construction Industry Council) and Accredex HSC course is a totally new way of “learning and being examined” to CSCS standards to be able to apply for a PQP (Professionally Qualified Person) or AQP (Academic Qualified Person) CSCS white identity card. To expand on above, for a candidate to be able to get a CSCS card they must have a recognised professional qualification, and must be a member of a relevant CIC industry body.

For all professionals within Construction and the Built Environment who may need to visit sites as part of their job - this includes people like Architects, Engineers, Surveyors. For those wishing to apply for a CSCS card, CSCS requirements are that the professional must also have a valid professional qualification (for example a recognised degree), and a membership of a CSCS PQP organisation from the table below: APM Association for Project Management APS Association for Project Safety BIID British Institute of Interior Design CABE Chartered Association of Building Engineers CIAT Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists CICES Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors CIHT Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation CIOB Chartered Institute of Building GF Ground Forum ICWCI Institute of Clerks of Works and Construction Inspectorate IET-BEP Institution of Engineering and Technology - Built Environment Panel IFE Institution of Fire Engineers IIRSM International Institute of Risk & Safety Management ISSE Institute of Specialist Surveyors and Engineers IStructE Institution of Structural Engineers IWFM Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management LI Landscape Institute RIBA Royal Institute of British Architects RICS Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors

Single users can buy the course on our learning platform at https://lms.accredex.co.uk/ Users need to self-register and then purchase the course. Companies / groups of users can buy the course by asking for a quote/invoice via sales@accredex.co.uk Once the invoice is paid we will ask for user details to setup the users.

This will provide benefits and protection for your business, yourself, your fellow workers, the public and the environmental surroundings.

The CSCS white card is aimed at all professional construction workers - including architects, engineers, surveyors - who whilst they are not active hands-on site workers, need access to UK building environments to do their job. ​ CONTEXT: The CIC have stated that their membership is over 500,000 built environment professionals of whom over 235,000 require regular access to sites to do their job. However, there are only 35,000 registered HSE CSCS cards. This means that there is a 200,000 shortfall in the compliance of organisations and individuals. ​ The CIC and Accredex have identified many reasons for not getting professionally accredited - pricing, travel costs, out of office costs, availability of exams etc – this course hopefully removes most, if not all these issues.

Accredex would suggest a thorough interrogation of the available rules and regulations available on the CIC and CSCS websites regarding site access. The penalties for injury on site (to your employees or other) or corporate manslaughter amongst professionals who are on site without the relevant criteria and compliance means your organisation, and its executives, are extremely exposed to personal actions, bankruptcy or extreme fines against individuals or executives or against organisations and its reputation. ​ The CIC, CLC (Construction Leadership Council), the CSCS (Construction Services Certification Scheme) and Accredex strongly suggest you ensure your personnel are compliant and always accredited.

The course is £49.99 per person. We want this course to be accessible to everyone in the industry, from sole traders to tier one contractors. This includes 2 exam attemps - where the exam is invigilated "in house" at your organisation. We have a minimum order of 5 users.

Organisations can run the exam in-house for their employees - whether for 1 person or 100. See other FAQs for the course and exam process. This is not suitable for single users / self-employed professionals who have no one to invigilate their exam. Please do not purchase if you are not able to have a co-worker / manager invigilate the exam. There are no refunds if you later state you do not have an invigilator.

The process to get access to the course, and then to sit the exam is as follows:- ​​ Order and pay for the course(s) via our website (for larger orders contact sales@accredex.co.uk for a volume quote) We will email to ask for candidate(s) details then allocate the course on our LMS (Learning Management System) You have 30 days to complete the course and exam. Once your candidates are ready for the exam, the invigilator should arrange exam time via this form - https://www.accredex.co.uk/cic-hse-exam-notification. Please note you need to request the exam at least the day before, if not earlier as we do not monitor requests during the day.​ The invigilator needs to be someone in your organisation. The invigilator needs to watch over those taking the test to ensure that they follow the exam conditions as per the Self-Invigilation FAQ answer After the exam, the invigilator needs to attest to the exam invigilation by filling in the form here- https://www.accredex.co.uk/cic-hse-exam-attestation Email us the exam candidates photos (passport style head shots) which are put into our database for CSCS card usage Apply for a white CSCS card on their website (separate charge due to CSCS) Note: users Firstname, Lastname MUST match their Identity Document (passport), their Professional Qualification (degree) and their Professional body membership

Once your candidates are ready for the exam, the invigilator should let us know the exam day and time via this form- https://www.accredex.co.uk/cic-hse-exam-notification. Please note you need to request this at least the day before, if not earlier as we do not monitor requests during the day. The invigilator needs to be someone in your organisation. The invigilator needs to follow the invigilation rules which are on the FAQ under "What is SELF-INVIGILATION?" heading After the candidates take the exam, the invigilator needs to attest to the exam invigilation by filling in this form - https://www.accredex.co.uk/cic-hse-exam-attestation Following this, send us the exam candidates photos (passport style head shots) via email. These are put into our database for CSCS card usage Subject to CSCS rules (qualification, professional body membership) candidates can then apply for a white CSCS card on their website (note: separate charge payable to CSCS)

Self-Invigilation means that you as an organisation can run your own exams. You will need to appoint an “Invigilator” whose responsibilities will be as follows (which is required by the CSCS to ensure all exams are conducted in the right way): ​ The invigilator needs to book an appropriate room or office in which an exam can be held. The invigilator needs to ensure that each candidate is a UK employee of the organisation and under UK employment law each candidate is who they say they are (see note) Candidates must be assessed under exam conditions in a space separated from any working environment and team members or colleagues No candidate should communicate visually or verbally with any other candidate during the exam No candidate should have any mobile device or other device which could connect to the internet other than the device provided for the examination No candidate should have any other material with them that could be used to influence the outcome of their assessment. The invigilator to candidate ratio should be reasonable (up to around 12 users per invigilator) The invigilator should announce the start of the exam and then ends the exam after a maximum of 60 minutes. Each candidate has 45 questions to answer in this period. Before each planned exam time Accredex will remove the course content from the learner’s accounts and replace this with the exam module. After the exam, the invigilator needs to attest to the exam invigilation rules above by filling in the form here- https://www.accredex.co.uk/cic-hse-exam-attestation The system records the scores automatically. Those that pass the 80% mark can apply direct to the CSCS for their card (subject to CSCS requirements around qualifications and professional body membership) ​ Notes: 1. The identity validation must including checking of identity document (passport or driving license), and the invigilator must check that the names match (i.e. the legal firstname must match between ID doc and the CIC/Accredex system as this will be used by CSCS to validate the application for card. 2. This is not suitable for single users / self-employed professionals who have no one to invigilate their exam. Please do not purchase if you are not able to have a co-worker / manager invigilate the exam. There are no refunds if you later state you do not have an invigilator.

No. This is content that was written by industry experts and is the most up to date and “fit for purpose” HSC course available. The course is interactive and often requires the learners to participate and click on specific icons to access further information. ​ Each course module has been broken down into sub modules and each sub module has a “teach me / test me” learning path. This means that after reviewing and learning each “teach me” sub module, you can then access the relevant “test me” sub module, therefore assessing your learning success as you go. There is no time limit to the learning before the exam is required. ​ THE TEST ME sub modules are not official exams and do not count against your score. They are a way of assessing your knowledge on each subject ready for the final exam module. ​ Note: The online course is available 24 x 7 and each module, sub module and test me modules can be accessed and reviewed time and time again until the learner is satisfied that they are ready for the exam.

Certification lasts for three years and allows the candidate to apply for a CSCS white card.

The multiple choice exam can be retaken twice, included in the price of £39.99, with any additional resists having an additional charge (dependant on organisation & location). If you fail the exam please let us know to re-allocate the training course to you by email to admin@accredex.co.uk

An LMS is a Learning Management System, an application that stores and presents the course information.

Yes, this course will provide CPD hours; number of hours is self assessed, but CPD have indicated at least 5 hours.

If you have 50 professionals that require a CSCS white card for access onto sites to do their job then for these employees to become compliant it would cost potentially: ​ £15 learning material - £26 touchscreen test booking x 50 = £2,050 Half a day out of the office to drive to the test centre £150 x 50 = £7,500 Travel costs £10 x 50 = £500 Current HSC exam TOTAL = £10,050 Accredex solution: £39.99 x 50 people = £1,999.50 Self-invigilation, 1 hour test x 50 people + 5 invigilators = £2,062.50 CIC/Accredex TOTAL = £4,062 ​ The more people you have then the bigger your savings. Training that works around you!

Once you have completed the course content, and taken the exam successfully, you can apply for your CSCS card* on the CSCS portal at https://www.cscs.uk.com/applying-for-cards/ We are working with CSCS on an API link between our systems, but at present there is a workaround in place for ordering the card for CIC Accredex - in the order process select "no" for CITB pass and then select CIC as below:- And select CIC Health and Safety Certification Click Add and the enter the achievement date and upload a copy of the pass certificate You shoud then be able to submit your application. *Note: to apply for CSCS card you need to be a member of an approved industry body, and have the relevant professional qualification.
