Candidates under the age of 16 must have consent from a parent or guardian and be accompanied to the test centre by an appropriate adult, such as a parent, guardian, carer, teacher, tutor or employer. Failure to meet either requirement will result in the candidate being refused entry to the test, and the test fee will be forfeited.

CITB Identification (ID) Requirements for HS&E Tests
The CITB HS&E Test ID Policy outlines the requirements for identification when taking the CITB HS&E test. Candidates must provide one form of Primary ID and two forms of Secondary ID if they do not have the required Primary ID. The forms of ID must be originals, in date, and in the candidate's name. If the candidate's name has changed since the ID document was issued, additional evidence must be provided. The ID Waiver Form is only used in exceptional circumstances and must be attached to an official email from the sponsor, a compliment slip, or printed on company letter-headed paper. The form must be signed and dated by the sponsor and include a recent, passport-sized photograph signed by the candidate and the sponsor.
