CITB HS&E Test: Managers & Pro­fes­sio­nals

The MAP test has 50 questions and a 45-minute time limit, and the pass mark is 90% — you need at least 45 correct answers. It is booked through CITB and sat at a Pearson VUE test centre.

CSCS requires a MAP pass for the Manager (black) card. The Academically Qualified Person card accepts either the MAP test or the CIC Health and Safety Test. The Supervisor card uses CITB's Specialist Supervisory test, not MAP, so use the CSCS Card Finder to confirm which test your occupation needs before you book.

Both are 50 questions in 45 minutes with a pass mark of 45, but the MAP test is set at management level: legal duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act and CDM 2015, RIDDOR reporting, inspection regimes, occupational health thresholds and environmental law, rather than the site basics the operatives test concentrates on. CITB updated it in June 2023 and says the content is wider than earlier versions and not role-specific.

Five sections: legal and management; occupational health, wellbeing and welfare; general safety; high-risk activities; and the environment. PassNova's topics map onto those sections so you can revise them one at a time before sitting timed mocks.

A CITB HS&E test pass is valid for two years for the purpose of applying for a CSCS card. If you leave it longer than that before applying, you sit the test again.

The CITB Managers and Professionals (MAP) test is the health and safety test CSCS requires for the Manager card and accepts for the Academically Qualified Person card. Site manager / construction manager: CSCS requires a MAP test pass for the Manager (black) card that site and construction managers hold to work on site. Quantity surveyor: Surveyors with a construction-related degree, HND or HNC use the MAP test (or the CIC test) for the Academically Qualified Person card. Civil engineer: Site-based engineers with an accepted construction-related degree take the MAP test for the Academically Qualified Person card that sites ask for. Health and safety adviser (construction): Advisers with an accepted NEBOSH qualification use the MAP test for the Academically Qualified Person card to work on site.

The Managers and Professionals (MAP) version of the CITB Health, Safety & Environment test is 50 questions in 45 minutes with a pass mark of 90% — at least 45 correct. CITB updated it in June 2023 and describes the content as wider than earlier versions and not role-specific, across five sections: A Legal and management, B Occupational health, wellbeing and welfare, C General safety, D High-risk activities and E Environment. CSCS requires a MAP pass for the Manager (black) card and, with the CIC Health and Safety Test as an alternative, for the Academically Qualified Person card; the Supervisor card uses the Specialist Supervisory test instead, so check the CSCS Card Finder for your occupation before you book. A test pass is valid for two years for the purpose of applying for a card. CITB's own revision material for MAP is a mobile app (£7.29), a PC download (£12.75) and a revision book. This bank covers the health, safety and environment knowledge the test examines, not the card application. Checked against CITB and CSCS in September 2026.
