VALID FOR UP TO 5 YEARS
Eligibility
PMES Supervisor gold cards are issued to applicants who can provide evidence of having completed an appropriate Level 3 or Level 4 PMES related N/SVQ or equivalent qualification (for more detail of what is acceptable, please check the PMES Supervisor application form).
Where applicants have completed a ‘generic’ (i.e. non-construction specific) Level 3 supervisory qualification, e.g.:
- L3 N/SVQ Diploma in Occupational Work Supervision
This must also be accompanied by a recognised L2 or L3 PMES related N/SVQ or equivalent qualification.
All applications must be accompanied by an employer endorsement which confirms that the applicant is working in a PMES supervisory role in accordance with the PMES supervisory criteria as specified in the application form.
All applicants must also provide evidence of having passed one of the following:
- CITB Supervisory HSE test;
- CITB Managers and Professionals test;
- CITB SSSTS or SMSTS course;
- CCNSG ‘Leading a Team Safely’ course;
- IOSH ‘Managing Safely’ course*.
No other H&S test exceptions or ‘equivalent’ tests or qualifications will be accepted.
*If the IOSH ‘Managing Safely’ course is being used as evidence of having met the H&S test requirement for the card, the completion date on the certificate must be within two years of the card application date. Cards which are supported by the IOSH ‘Managing Safely’ course will be valid for a maximum of 3 years.
