How do I renew my grade card?
Your SNIJIB CSCS grade card expires when your CSCS date does. In order to renew your card, you must therefore pass a new CSCS health and safety test.
Depending on your grade with the SNIJIB, this will either be either of the following:
- Plumbing
- Non-Plumbing
- Supervisor
- Manager
Where can I sit a health and safety test?
For employees:
If your employer has a SNIJIB Registered Invigilator, you can sit your test at their offices or work site. We offer 1 free test with every card (a re-sit must be paid for). Just have your invigilator call us on 0131 524 1225 to arrange.
If your employer does not have a recognised Registered Invigilator, they can apply the the SNIJIB to have one.
Self Employed/Unemployed Operatives :
Tests must legally be invigilated, so you will have to visit a company with a SNIJIB Registered Invigulator, so they can do this for you.
Alternatively, you can use a CITB test centre. If you are a plumber please make sure you sit the Specialist Plumbing (JIB) test. Pearson Vue/CITB – 0344 994 4488
Once you have passed the test, we require a copy of the score report and a photo of you. Once you have emailed that in you can call to make payment for your SNIJIB CSCS card.
