CSCS Mock Test
In this CSCS mock test, we’ll be asking a series of basic health and safety questions, these questions will cover some of the most popular topics covered in the real test, just like the real test some questions will require a single answer and some will require multiple answers.
The Construction Skills Certification scheme (otherwise known as CSCS) is the most widely recognised program designed to help educate and test workers’ knowledge of the safety risks and dangers that occur in the construction industry. The test itself is quite straightforward and requires basic to intermediate health and safety knowledge depending on the type of CSCS card you’re applying for.
