Want to Start Working in Construction but Can't Afford to Pay Everything Upfront?

Many people are interested in construction careers but feel unsure about the qualifications, the costs and the steps involved. Some are ready to start studying but would prefer to pay for their exams later.

Momentum Careers offers a flexible, staged approach so that eligible learners can begin training and plan their remaining expenses as they go.

Purchasing the £100 training does not automatically secure employment, qualifications or a CSCS card. Each stage is completed and paid for separately.

The Pathway

The Four Steps to Your CSCS Green Labourer Card

A clear, staged journey. Pay for each stage only when you are ready to move forward.

Step 1

Step 2

Take Your Level 1 Accredited Exam

Pay £54 when ready

After completing the training and preparing for assessment, you can arrange the relevant Level 1 accredited examination. Momentum will explain the booking arrangements and required identity verification.

  • The £54 examination charge is separate from the £100 training price
  • Passing the exam and meeting awarding organisation requirements are necessary to obtain the recognised Level 1 certificate
The awarding organisation, assessment arrangements, any resit fees and applicable conditions will be clearly disclosed before booking.
Step 3

Prepare for Your CITB Test

Revision app approx £7.29 · Official CITB test £23.50

Momentum will guide you to the relevant official revision resources and explain how to book the appropriate CITB Health, Safety and Environment Test.

  • The revision app is optional and its price must be verified before publication
  • The Green Labourer Card normally requires the relevant CITB Operatives test, subject to current CSCS rules
  • You pay for the CITB test when you are ready to book it
The CITB examination fee is paid separately and is not included in the initial £100 payment.
Step 4

Apply for Your CSCS Green Labourer Card

Current application fee £36

After obtaining the accepted Level 1 qualification and passing the appropriate CITB test, you can apply for your Green Labourer Card, subject to the official eligibility requirements. Momentum will guide you through the official application process.

  • The £36 application fee is paid separately
The official CSCS card fee increases to £42 for applications completed and paid from 1 February 2027.
