CSCS Registration
Operators who have successfully completed a CSCS Programme and have been awarded FETAC certification are eligible to apply for a CSCS registration card. Operators may add further categories to their cards by successfully completing additional programmes.
Registration cards are valid for a period of five years from the date first trained.
Applications for registration cards, together with a passport-sized photograph (signed on the reverse) should be submitted to:
FÁS Services to Business,
27-33 Upper Baggot Street,
Dublin 4.
Registration Card Fee
The fee for a CSCS Registration Card (and Replacement card) is €23.
Should an operator lose a card or have it stolen, they should contact their local Employment Services Office or lo-call number 1850 66 77 66 for a replacement card application form.
Renewal of Registration Cards
In April 2006, FÁS introduced a new system for the renewal of registration cards. Operators are issued with a logbook which will enable them to record details relating to:
- Experience
- Employment
- Training
- Tasks (to be completed in a safe and competent manner)
Operators will be required to apply for renewal by submitting the necessary application form together with a summary of their work experience during the period concerned.
Recognition of Registration Cards
The Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) and Construction Skills Register (CSR) - Plant Operator Registration Cards are recognised as being equivalent to the FÁS Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) Plant Operator Registration Card. This applies to Experienced Operator Registration Cards.
Sample CPCS Plant Operator Registration Card
The Basic Scaffolding Registration Card under the Construction Industry Scaffolding Record Scheme (CISRS) and the Basic Card under the Construction Skills Register (CSR) are recognised as being equivalent to the FÁS CSCS Advanced Scaffolding Registration Card.
