- My CSCS app given major upgrade including AI-powered application process and features to support Building Safety Act compliance.
- New functionality streamlines card management, enabling users to renew, register and apply for cards quickly and easily via the app.
- My Skills section now acts as a one-stop shop for a worker’s skills, training and CPD records.
The Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) has unveiled a major upgrade to its My CSCS app, introducing an AI-driven application process and additional features designed to support compliance with the Building Safety Act.
The enhanced app enables users to renew and apply for CSCS cards in-app, access their digital CSCS card for site access and generate a CV-style resume, showcasing an individual’s skills and training records, such as CPD, SMSTS/SSSTS courses or fire safety training.
A key new feature is the AI-powered card application process, which has been completely re-engineered to make applying for, or renewing, a card quicker and easier.
Workers can now simply upload a copy or photo of their qualification directly to the app and My CSCS will recommend the appropriate card, based on their occupation and qualification, supporting the ethos of individuals holding the correct card for the job they do on site.
Sean Kearns, Group Chief Executive, CSCS said: “At CSCS, we continue to align our technology to support the evolving needs of the construction industry. Our enhanced app reflects this ambition.
“With CSCS Smart Check as the border control element – the Digital Skills Passport infrastructure is designed to help industry meet its Building Safety Act obligations and keep sites safe and legally compliant.”
The new functionality forms part of CSCS’s broader Digital Skills Passport initiative – a dynamic, portable record of qualifications and training that moves with workers across sites and roles. This is integrated with CSCS Smart Check, which verifies cards and credentials in real time, ensuring the right people with the right skills are on site to enhance compliance and safety.
