Construction Training That Gets You On Site
CSCS, Fire Safety and COSHH courses delivered in London — in the classroom or live online. Funded places available for eligible adults.
Most construction jobs need a card and a certificate before you can set foot on site. We get you both.
LIBS Training has delivered accredited construction and employability courses across London since 2011. Our courses are short, practical and built for people who need to be working, not studying for a year. No experience needed. No qualifications needed to start.
Construction & Site Safety Courses
Accredited qualifications designed to get you qualified, compliant and ready for work.
CSCS Card Training
The route to your green CSCS Labourer card. You’ll cover site hazards, manual handling, working at height, fire and electrical safety, and safe working around plant.
We prepare you for the CITB Health, Safety and Environment test and book your exam at a Pearson VUE centre near you.
Pass both, and you can apply for your card. We’ll walk you through the application.
One price covers everything: the Level 1 qualification, your CITB Operatives test and your CSCS card application.
See course details →Fire Safety Awareness
How fires start, how they spread, and what to do when one does. You’ll learn the fire triangle, the classes of fire, which extinguisher to use on what, evacuation procedures and the role of the fire marshal.
Useful on site, in care settings, in warehouses and in hospitality — most employers want it and many are legally required to provide it.
See course details →COSHH Awareness
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health. Dust, solvents, asbestos, cement, cleaning chemicals — how they get into the body, what they do, and how to work with them safely.
Covers hazard symbols, safety data sheets, risk assessment basics, PPE and what to do if something goes wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need experience to start?
No. These courses are designed for complete beginners.
How long until I get my CSCS card?
Usually two to four weeks from finishing the course, depending on exam availability and CSCS processing times.
What’s the difference between the Level 1 Award and the CITB test?
You need both. The Level 1 Award is the qualification you study with us. The CITB Health, Safety and Environment test is a separate multiple-choice exam taken at a Pearson VUE centre. Pass both and you can apply for the green Labourer card.
What do I need to bring?
Photo ID — passport, driving licence or another photographic ID card. You can’t sit the exam without it.
Can I do the course if I’m working?
Yes. We run evening and weekend cohorts, and the online option works around shifts.
Is the training really free?
For eligible learners, yes — fully funded, with no hidden fees. Eligibility depends on your age, residency and employment status. We’ll check for you in five minutes over the phone.
