How To Get A LISS / CSCS Green Card


LiSS CSCS

LISS/CSCS is both a standalone scheme and a mandatory requirement of the National Highways Sector Scheme 18 (Land-based) recognised by Build UK. It is designed to support the development of an industry framework for skills development and progression in the workplace alongside CSCS.  This is achieved through a SmartCard scheme.


Our ROLO Certificate (online or face-to-face), is a prerequisite to obtaining a LISS CSCS card.  Once the ROLO certificate and the CITB health & safety test for a CSCS card have been achieved, they can be used to apply for a LISS CSCS card in your particular land based sector. Including but not limited to:  


  • Construction & Maintenance 
  • Ecology and Environmental Management 
  • Arboriculture
  • Countryside Management


The British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI) administer LISS CSCS card applications.  You are in the land based sector.  Don't make the mistake of applying for the wrong card through the CITB.
