One of the first questions people ask before applying for a cscs card is how much is the CSCS going to cost?

The thing is it isn’t actually that expensive at all, the cost of the CSCS card itself is only £30 and that includes the VAT. There are a few things that could raise the cost of acquiring your cscs card, one is a mandatory part and the other part all depends on if you decide to use a third party company to help you with the application process to obtain your cscs card.

Another cost to consider when applying is the cost of the Health, Safety and Environment Test which you will need to take before you can sit the cscs exam.
