Renewal of SKILLcards

Renewal of SKILLcards

There is a simple, four-stage process for the renewal of SKILLcards:

Stage 1: SKILLcard will write to your employer at regular intervals between 3-6 months in advance of due renewal dates to gather information on employee movement – change of address, leavers, new starters, etc.

Stage 2: Eight weeks before expiry date, SKILLcard will write to: (a) you, with a renewal pack, including a renewal application form; and (b) your last recorded employer. Employers will then be able to liaise with you so that they can, if they wish, co-ordinate applications on a company basis for all their employees who have been invited to renew their SKILLcards.

Stage 3: Before completed renewal applications can be returned to SKILLcard:

  • You will have the opportunity to check and update the information recorded on your SKILLcard;
  • You need to pass the SKILLcard/CITB-ConstructionSkills health and safety test. For detailed information about health and safety testing, click on Health and Safety testing alongside to the left;
  • You need to supply an up-to-date photograph of yourself;
  • Your Employer needs to sign the Employers’ Endorsement part of the renewal application form; and
  • Payment of the renewal fee (£25) needs to be included and returned with the completed renewal application form.

Stage 4: Your employer/you send the completed renewal application form and supporting documentation and let SKILLcard do the rest.
