About ACAD Cards

Workforce Skills Support is an NVQ-accredited centre with the Awarding Organisations ProQual and SQA. As an accredited centre, we deliver NVQ qualifications recognised by the ACAD card scheme. This allows employers and candidates to apply for their ACAD cards in line with the additional requirements set out by the scheme.

Individuals will be visited by their assessor at their place of work. The assessor will guide them through each part of the process, observe them working, and provide the highest levels of support until they complete their qualifications. This is ideal for individuals and employers needing to avoid downtime and days away from the site.​

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have questions about ACAD cards? Here is a compilation of our most frequently asked questions.

ACAD Skill Cards are CSCS-affiliated certification cards for asbestos professionals created by the Asbestos Control and Abatement Division (ACAD) of the Faculty of Asbestos Assessment and Management (FAAM). The cards are intended to help asbestos surveyors and analysts gain access to construction sites by verifying their identity and qualifications.

If you're new to the industry or have less than 3 years of experience, the red Trained Worker ACAD Skill Card is ideal for you. It's valid for 3 years, during which time you must complete your relevant NVQ; otherwise, no replacement card will be issued.

For those with over 3 years of experience, the red Experienced Worker ACAD Skill Card is the right choice. This card is valid for 12 months and requires you to be enrolled in the appropriate NVQ programme. You must complete the NVQ within this period, or the card will not be renewed.

After obtaining the necessary NVQ, you can apply for the renewable blue Skilled Worker ACAD Skill Card or the gold Supervisor ACAD Skill Card, both of which can be renewed every five years.

If you're new to the industry or have less than 3 years of experience, the red Trained Worker ACAD Skill Card is the right choice for you. This card is valid for 3 years, during which time you must complete your relevant NVQ, as no replacement card will be issued without it.

For those with over 3 years of experience, the red Experienced Worker ACAD Skill Card is more suitable. This card is valid for 12 months and requires you to be enrolled in the appropriate NVQ programme. You must complete the NVQ within this timeframe, or the card will not be renewed.

Once you have obtained the relevant NVQ, you can apply for either the blue Skilled Worker ACAD Skill Card or the gold Supervisor ACAD Skill Card. Both of these cards are renewable every five years.

ACAD, BOHS, FAAM (Faculty of Asbestos Assessment and Management), and NORAC (National Organisation of Asbestos Consultants) have partnered to introduce a new skills certification card for asbestos professionals, displaying the CSCS logo.

If you’re new to the industry and don’t yet have a qualification, the red Trainee Worker ACAD Skill Card is your starting point. This card is valid for 12 months, during which you must complete your relevant qualification; otherwise, it cannot be renewed.

Once you’ve earned the appropriate qualification, you can apply for the renewable ACAD Skill Card, which can be renewed every five years.
