CITB Test Booking — Frequently Asked Questions
Last updated: 2026–2027
How do I book a CITB test online?▾
Choose your test type, enter your details exactly as they appear on your photo ID, pick a test centre and date, and pay online. You'll receive a booking confirmation by email, so check that your name, test type and centre are correct straight away.
Is the CITB test the same as the CSCS test?▾
Yes. The CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test is also called the CSCS test, the CITB touch-screen test, or the HSE test. They all mean the same test, which you must pass before applying for most CSCS cards.
Which CITB test do I need to book?▾
It depends on your job and card. There are three versions: Operatives, Specialists, and Managers and Professionals. It's your responsibility to book the right one. Our free test finder at https://constructionworkersolutions.co.uk/findtherightcitbtest.php shows which test matches your occupation and qualification.
What information do I need to book a CITB test?▾
You need your full name as it appears on your ID, a personal email address, your full UK postal address, the test type, and your chosen test centre. Having these ready makes booking quick and avoids errors on your confirmation.
How many questions are in the CITB test and what is the pass mark?▾
The CITB HS&E test has 50 multiple-choice questions and lasts 45 minutes on a touch-screen computer. You need 45 out of 50 correct, a 90% pass mark. The pass mark is the same for the Operatives, Specialists, and Managers and Professionals tests.
What ID do I need for the CITB test?▾
You need valid photo ID that includes your signature, such as a passport or driving licence, and the name must match your booking. If you can't provide the required ID, you must complete CITB's ID waiver form beforehand, or you won't be admitted.
How early should I arrive for my CITB test?▾
Arrive at least 15 minutes before your test start time. If you arrive late, or miss your test because of transport problems or bad weather, you won't be able to sit it and the test fee isn't refunded.
When do I get my CITB test results?▾
You're given written confirmation of whether you passed or failed at the test centre. The score report also shows any subject areas where you didn't answer every question correctly, which is useful for revision if you need to resit.
What happens if I fail the CITB test?▾
You can book another test, but you can't re-sit within 48 hours of your failed attempt. Your score report shows the areas where you lost marks, so review those before rebooking. There's no limit on how many times you can retake it.
How long is a CITB test pass valid for?▾
A CITB test pass is valid for 2 years. You need to apply for your CSCS card within that window, or you'll have to retake the test. Most cards also need a pass dated within 2 years to renew.
Can I reschedule my CITB test?▾
Yes, but with Construction Worker Solutions you must reschedule at least 96 hours before your test. You can't reschedule inside that window. Rescheduling online is free with us, so change your date as early as you can.
Can I cancel my CITB test and get a refund?▾
With Construction Worker Solutions, you can cancel at least 96 hours before your test and receive a partial refund, minus our cancellation fee, paid within 10 working days of a valid request. If you cancel with less notice or don't turn up, there's no refund and we treat the test as attended.
Can I take the CITB test in another language?▾
Yes, in many cases. The Operatives test offers voiceovers in a range of languages, while other test types have more limited language options. Tell us your language when you book, and choose it before your test date so it's arranged in advance.
Can I get extra help if I have dyslexia or need support during the test?▾
Yes. Reasonable adjustments include voiceovers, readers, interpreters, sign language support, and extra time in a separate room. These must be arranged before your test date, and they should appear on your booking confirmation, so tell us what you need when booking.
Where can I take the CITB test?▾
You can take the CITB test at over 150 test centres across the UK. Search by city or postcode when you book, and check our test centre pages for addresses and directions before your test day.
Can I book CITB tests for a group or my employees?▾
Yes. Employers and agencies can book tests for several workers through our group booking service. Give each worker's name exactly as it appears on their ID, because names that don't match can mean a candidate is refused entry.
What can I bring into the CITB test centre?▾
Bring your photo ID and your booking confirmation. You can't bring anyone into the test centre, and phones, bags, keys, and wallets must be stored in a locker. You can't refer to any document during the test, and all tests are recorded on CCTV.
Can I book my CITB test and apply for my CSCS card with you?▾
Yes. You can book your CITB test and apply for your CSCS card through Construction Worker Solutions. Pass the test first, then apply for your card within 2 years of your pass so your test result is still valid.
