ECITB CCNSG
ECITB CCNSG National Safety Passport (2 day course)
The ECITB CCNSG Safety Passport is the nationally recognised safety card across the UK engineering construction industry and is therefore a necessity for any engineers or contractors who need to gain access to ECITB controlled sites. As an approved ECITB learning provider, we are able to offer the two-day ECITB CCNSG National Safety Passport course necessary to achieve this card. Once this has been issued, the card is valid for three years before it needs to be renewed.

The ECITB CCNSG Safety Passport can be renewed up to six months before the expiry date. The three-year extension is added on to the remaining time. Lapsed candidates must re-sit the 2-day National course.
There are two ways to renew your Safety Passport, and we offer both:
✓ ECITB CCNSG One-Day Refresher: This one-day course offers a thorough review of the syllabus, revisiting key concepts and best practices, with two paper-based tests. This option is ideal for those seeking a comprehensive refresh of their knowledge.
