CSCS Test Centres
·
The CITB HS&E test is delivered by Pearson VUE at centres across the UK. There are two kinds, and the difference matters if you are paying with a voucher.
Pearson Professional Centres
Pearson's own test centres. These are the only places where CITB test vouchers can be redeemed, and where the full range of reasonable adjustments is offered.
Internet Test Centres (ITCs)
Approved local centres — often training providers — that deliver the test. You can book directly with an ITC. Note that not every ITC appears on CITB's map, so it is worth ringing local providers too.
Finding your nearest centre
- Use the Pearson VUE test-centre search on the official CITB booking journey and enter your postcode or town.
- Select the test type you need first — Operatives, Specialist or MAP — because availability differs by centre.
- For an ITC, use CITB's “find an Internet Test Centre” page, or contact local construction training providers directly.
Two things to check before you travel
- Vouchers only work at Pearson Professional Centres. If you bought a CITB test voucher, do not book an ITC slot with it.
- Request support when booking. Voiceovers, BSL interpreters and reading support are arranged at the point of booking, and are only available at Pearson Professional Centres.
Does the centre affect the test?
No. The exam is identical wherever you sit it: 50 questions, 45 minutes, 45/50 to pass, £23.50. Centres differ only in location, available slots and the support they can provide. Pick the one you can reach comfortably — arriving stressed and late is the real risk.
